cheers for that
Of course it is not available to collect or delivery
Back searching again
Those desks are popular, I had a nightmare getting mine.
Have a look every few days to see if they are in stock.

It certainly looks the part, but I'm wary after buying furniture from Argos previously. How's the build quality/sturdiness?Argos - https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8518525

Congrats, one of the few that place their speakers on foam padding, ever one I see here sitting straight on the table top makes me cringe a little.Just upgraded to a 34" ultra wide. It's lovely but cos my office is so small and the desk I got last year in lockdown is hideous it feels not an amazing place to be right now.
It's being redecorated in August so I think I'm going to try sort out a better desk for then. Will also then get the screen on an arm on the wall.
I was a bit worried when I ordered it, but the quality is really good. Nothing is 'flimsy' when unpacking, and each piece has a fair bit of weight to it. It's over 50kg when its built.
It doesn't move at all and is very solid. Only downside for me is I couldnt use the drawer as my tower is too tall.

Haha thanks, harks back to my rented flat with my best mate who we were both in the studio 24/7 for months at a time. Always had foam under them too.
If decent speakers just putting them on the desk kinda ruins their sound, and has them rumbling into the desk.

Don't think I have ever noticed.
try putting yours on some foam or on speak spike stands. Without isolation, your desk will act like an amplifier to some extent but not in a good way.

Depends on speakers not as bad on a shelf if they are book shelf speakers, you can buy wedged foam the insulates the sound as sell as propping a little direction to them. Pretty cheap stuff.I don't have them on a desk they are on a shelf.

JBLs
Rustins Danish Oil is great for wood worktops and super easy to apply with a soft cloth
and +1 for Worktops Direct, lots of choice and the bespoke service allows you to get exactly what you want length and depth

Added some plants to an otherwise very monotone room

I definitely need to get some plants! Latest addition is the peg board which I've tidied up since posting the underwhelming photo in "post images of your latest purchases". Still need to think of a creative way to display the watches

Do you guys think 28mm is thick enough for a worktop to become a desk.
Seen a 2.4m worktop at B&Q for my budget but its 28mm. I've only got one screen an AOC 34" ultrawide. I want to use the usual Alex drawers from IKEA on either end. Will it need another leg in middle to hold the weights?
