I've read some reviews on amazon and it seems to be pretty solid, but I was wondering if anyone on here happened to have an experience with this desk.

is your goal just to have a flat top that things can sit on... or do you actually care about style and having something visually pleasing and interesting?

I just want a big fuck off space that can support my stuff. I've used cheaper desks and they fall to pieces in a few years.

I don't have a good picture of my current desk, but I've got my PC sitting on a dinner tray because my current desk isn't big enough to support it.

I don't have that exact desk, but it looks a lot like what I have at work. Very heavy, but also feels like it will break in two if you slide it across the floor any. If you just want a big cheap desk that you don't care about lasting you a lifetime, it's probably fine.

Build your own?

A couple of pieces of cut wood from a wood yard, a slap of paint and some screws. Jobs done.

I bought this a while back:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WL75G3G/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Good materials and easy to put together. Even if you don't want to use it standing, it's nice to be able to adjust the height of the desk as you please.

I was hoping to get a desk locally, but no where near me seems to sale large desks. And I'm far to lazy and lack the tools to build one out of anything.

 

[kingbean]

Fuck it. I'll build one out of a door and some table legs. Pics when I'm done.

Why not get a desk that goes up and down so you can sit or stand? I've been using one for years now due to chronic neck pain.

there are some nice simple designs on the market these days that look just like a regular desk.

 

[SpartanN92]

Is it sturdy enough for sex? That's the first question I ask anyone at a furniture store.

 

[rykomatsu]

Ikea hack:

Karlby countertop (6 or 8ft option)
Alex drawers x2
(Optional) Capita Legs x2

Not sure about the 6ft, but the 8ft countertop will sag, so recommend screwing a steel angle iron on the back edge of the countertop:

Alternatively, you can put legs on in the back as well (like 1 or 2 Olov legs)

 

[DESTROYA]

How much did that all cost you?

 

[rykomatsu]

How much did that all cost you?

I don't have the legs above the drawer - also have the 8ft countertop

Countertop: $240
2x drawers: $160
Angle iron: $15 from home depot I think
Total: roughly $415 before tax

 

[Cutty Flam]

Standing desk is the only option

 

[Hideous Snake]

OP, do you have IKEA in your place? They're the best when it comes to quality and price. Look at rykomatsu

 

[Urprobablyright]

i'm happy with my ikea desk

i think it might be called alex

which is a shame i wish it could have been something like woodiebonner

edit: it's big enough, which is good because i accidentally ordered a XL steelseries mouse pad and it's well over a foot square~

 

[diffusionx]

I bought a Fully Jarvis sit-stand desk that has worked great over the years.

I strongly recommend looking into that. It's more expensive but ultimately, good for your health.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

Is IKEA even open during the pandemic? I don't imagine trendy house decor is considered essential.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Used is affordable, new guarantees a desk that won't break down.

 

[kingbean]

No ikea near me sadly.

I've had mine for a while, and I am so much happier with it. It looks much more professional than the kind you buy at Ikea. Now I just need some storage underneath and some shims so I can raise the top to make it bigger. I don't think that it would make a big difference as far as legibility, but I'd like to make it look nicer.

I bought that same desk for home and it'sthe way to go. It's way better than any small cheaply made pos desk that you buy at somewhere like staples. And it cost less.
