    Desk/workstation - where to buy?

    Anyone recommend any sites to view?

    Moving to a new house next week and need three new computer desks.

    Someone in the Show Us Your Workspace/Desk thread had a rather nice glass one, not sure who it was though, as I'd also be interested to know where they got it...

    Ikea has a good range and you can customize it to your needs.

    If you're after something plain and ridiculously sturdy, the missus and I both have one of these each:

    Though I'm sure we didn't pay that much... it was a few years ago anyway. We still have them, and plan to get one of the 160cm ones when we move. Free professional assembly/installation too, I believe!

    I bought mine from Argos too.

    It's a few years old but similar to this:

    A very large desk (1.5m wide) for £70. Easy to put together and very solid.

    There is a nice glass one called the Avebury from argos/homebase that I was going to get, but it wouldn't fit in the space I had available.
