    New desk?

    As title really, want to buy a nice new desk! Nothing too expensive though.... its gotta be big enough so I can put my 19" monitor (CRT) and case on top (black Widow). Also leg room is important! Oh and its gotta look sexeh!

    Any suggestions?

    I never thought I'd get as bored as this, posting on a forum for recommendations on a desk..... ah well.

    Post away... post away.....

    Get yourself a viking direct catalogue, if you haven't got one. It's plenty easier to find quality stuff than on the website, and there are some cracking offers in there.

    Whilst redecorating my home office, we got two desks to span 98% of a wall. I think they were something like £70 each, and delivery/assembly was free. They're both very good quality, sturdy and look very smart.

    You can buy the desks online, just take the code from the catalogue and use it online

    You could be able to request a catalogue on the site... I'm not sure, though.

    I don't like desks that are all cramped with everything like high up... I like nice big wide open ones like mine and GR44's one
