I need a desk

[keithb]

I need to replace my desk, and I'm looking for something simple. Preferably a corner desk, with nice long wings and no drawers, cabinets, etc. These sort of things were really popular when I was in college - everyone had the same $120 desk from Staples. Now, I'm having a hell of a time finding something without a big hutch, and drawers everywhere, etc - I just want lots of flat space. Something like this, without the riser on the right



Anyone know where I could find such a thing? Looked through the WB Mason catalog here at work, and didn't find anything. Ikea, Staples, etc don't seem to have anything as far as I can tell from their websites.

Build one?

if you were any closer, id be happy to help you out. Do you guys have world market out there? theyre a bit pricey, but have amazingly well built desks with great functional design, that look good. Im about to snag a desk from there once it hits clearance

[keithb]

Never heard of World Market

If I don't find something, I'll be building me own, but it's easier to buy than to put the work into making something the gf won't find ugly

I built mine out of 2 old wardrobes, it's 4 metres long and has enough space for everything I also woulda said staples considering your location, but if you've tried there, my suggestion is null and void

if you need help with advice on finishing up edges, etc so that the girlie will like me, always feel free to ask

I'm pretty comfortable building something like a desk, but the time and materials investment (particularly time) makes buying something attractive

[Max]

yeah thats why i havent just built one either

Im always shopping around, so ill keep you in mind. did you want an L like that? or is a one-bar ok too?

[Max]

Computer Desks : Corner, Glass, Office, Carts, Armoires, Chairs

An L/corner desk will probably fit better in the space I have, but I can rearrange things if I find something else I like.

So my ideal desk has always been this:



A friend has one and I REALLY like it - perfect size, nice rounded edge, sturdy etc. Luckily I just found 2 of them on craigslist for a great price - picking them up tonite.
