Hi all,

Hope we're well :).

I just wanted some recommendations for a new pc desk - currently I have a glass one that's been handed down to me and isn't that wide and has no storage options.

Just after something via amazon/eBay that fits the following;


  • Not too difficult to put together.
  • Has somewhere to store desktop pc.
  • Has some drawers for storage/filing.
  • Has good leg room





I would prefer to stay away from mdf as I don't like this sort of material - i'll compermise a little but don't want the whole thing to be mdf.


Thanks All!

An additional suggestion, have you tried looking at the local charity and office surplus/salvage outlets?    

I have a c.3 metre meeting table which visitors to my office drool over when they see it.  It looks like a £1,000 boardroom table but it cost me just £50 from a charity warehouse.   I also have a brilliant 2m wide desk in my home office (for gaming not work!) which was bought new but cheap from an office salvage/surplus place.

Worth checking out some of the options!

Ikea do some really nice ones,  which are really customizable to suit your needs

You choose the size & type of table top you want then pick the legs

instead of legs you can have a set of drawers on one side

This is the configuration I have but mine is the black table top with grey drawers


Better if you are able to pick them up your self as ikea delivery is quite expensive.

Edit-the holes on the table tops are pre drilled so you just bolt the legs on

ive had one of these for 3 years, fits everything on , including wheels. really good value for money, i got it for £60 in their new years sales. i also didn't put the horizontal/vertical shelves in the middle (leg area), and tbh as long as i doesn't get moved round too much doesn't need them

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

I quite like this, as it's very similar to my wifes so wont look too out of place...what do you think?

I think that looks very small.. Won't give you much room for your gaming area. Mouse, keyboard, and monitor will take up 90% of it, you'll be cramped. Something bit bigger (like sulks posted) would be better if your room can fit it.
