Need a new desk

ChrisD. · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:04

Looking for a corner desk, budget £200-£300 or so. Looking for lots of desk space for my 27" monitor, two desk speakers, a 24" monitor and 15" MBP. Any ideas guys? Don't really know where to look apart from Staples which are all a bit office like for what I want.

Checked out Ikea? Lots of possibilities

I got this from ikea. Really happy with it, really rigid and sturdy and looks great IMO.

The pics don't do it justice how big it is! I'm having four monitors on it!

Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm after, if a little bit too much 'office' like.

I just picked up a large flat-surface desk from IKEA and it does me well. Able to house 3 monitors as well although it currently holds a 1080 and a 1400.

Thats quite a big desk , good price though....and if it's going to suite your purpose , Why not get it

WuMyster · 23 Jul 2013 at 12:59

Looks good. Id remove the wooden sides if possible though... looks quite.... constricting.

As long as doing that doesn't compromise the desk's stability

Idleman · 23 Jul 2013 at 13:13

For £200-300, you could get a local joiner to build you one.

By the looks of it all they seem to do if anything is support the legs.
