Mine's actually a dining table top from IKEA, but most of stuff seen on here are either worktops or desktops. Other than that, some people use plain doors and such.

Probably ebay but any kitchen shop should be able to supply them.

Prices can vary as some will be 'rustic' which is a mish mash of different coloured random timbers and some will use more uniform coloured, hand picked timbers.


The one you have linked to from Ikea is veneered chipboard instead of solid walnut, which is why it is cheaper. That's not to say its a bad product though, it has a fairly substantial 3.5mm veneer, so should last many years, if not forever if looked after.

It'll be great as a desk. Its pre finished with hard wax oil as well, which gives a really nice finish. I'd be interested to see the finished desk. I went with Oak myself, but was tempted by the walnut worktops at the time.

The supports are Capita brackets from Ikea. Used them myself to add a monitor shelf to my desk.
