It's time for a new desk

Behemoth · 9 Apr 2006 at 21:44

Looks like it's time for a new desk, mine has just started to fall apart, the keyboard tray has broken.

Have seen lots of them I like but they are all for rooms that are big, I have the small box room, so need something thats going to take the beast of my PC. Any suggestions would be really great, I can't believe I paid £70 for this 2 years ago and it's fallen apart.

Ikea

Mine is a small corner desk and is still going strong after a good 5 years

Definitely Ikea, just get a table top and the legs for about £25, huge sizes, winner.

Agreed, it would be a waste of time looking anywhere else

I got the Ikea Jerker and it's great, huge desk for only £60.

Yep Ikea for the win

yeah well there isn't an ikea near me (I live in Cornwall) and I can't have anything bigger than 75 cm wide. Am thinking I might have to go over to a shuttle based system. Desk of the right size will be cheaper though lol.

Custom made then maybe?

75cm yowch! my desk is 150cm. and thats just about the right size lol.

If ikea is out of the question then erm, "don't shop for it..."

yeah, will see what my old man says, he's quite handy with a hammer and a screw driver

Yes indeed thats the next website for me to go look at. Like I said though I have got a very small room. I used to have a massive desk in here but my mother complained so I had to down size it

Best shots i have of mine to show its size,

I got this desk

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...Office+furniture>C$cip=36059.Office+desks.htm

It looks pretty small in that pic but is actually huge, I have a 21" CRT (which is massive) on it, and still have loads of space for a MOMO wheel, lights etc etc. only problem with too much space, more place for mess. i love it though..

Above desk is pro though (previous poster)

Isn't that the Argos tagline? Why didn't you just say Argos? :confused:

Behemoth · 9 Apr 2006 at 22:00

Sadly it's too big

150 CM is too wide, I only have 75 to play with.

Just to prove to you, it is small in here
