In search of a Desk

Rocker · 20 Jan 2010 at 14:38

I'm looking for a desk and yes im a bit picky

and yes im limiting my possibilities here

but just incase anyone knows where I can get such a desk...

Im looking for a black (wood if possible but not necessarily) U shaped desk, no draws or that just 3 parts, top and 2 sides! It also idealy would be 120 cm in length however no bigger than 130cm in length

Yes im fussy...and I cant find one anywhere! I found a perfect one but it was 140cm in length, just too bit to fit in

If you are that desperate could you not just get the 140mm one and take a saw to it?

I've done that before.

Cantilever style desks are the best. Loads of leg room...

I use this

A piece of kitchen worktop from Ikea

and a set of legs

I have changed the top a few times over the years to fit spaces/change colour, the legs are reusable, and are available in a few colours and now styles. The tops are in lots of different styles, can be cut to any shape, this one is 130cm x 80cm and was around £70ish. Its so much more versatile than a normal desk as you can get the shape, width and depth you want, as well as the edge style. I have curved edges on the front, square the rest of the way round and it fits perfectly in my tiny room.

You need to go to a store and order a piece, gets delivered a couple of weeks later.

Plus its super strong and tough as nails.
