How much? What does the "k" mean? $345k means $345,000 to me!

Yes it was $345,819.54, but this was a brand new, top level executive suite where the average salary is well over $200k/yr per person, with the top 5 being closer to $500k.....

Believe me, I had to shake my head in disbelief more than once when the invoices started coming in......since the vendor selection was handled by some one at the corp. office, and I had no idea what the total outlay was until I got involved with the assembly and placement of the furniture....

meh get a cheap commercial grade credenza shell. Got a 6ft wide one for $180 and its strong enough to support my 225 lbs self standing on it. Obviously just search for credenza or credenza shell. They are not feature rich but in terms of durability and size for cost they are a huge step up from typical desks.

I have two of them one is going on 7 years old still shows no sign of wear or damage.
https://www.amazon.com/ALEVA257224E...qid=1548085477&sr=8-5&keywords=credenza+shell

available in different sizes and colors there all made in the same factory just the name on the box changes so get the cheapest one you can. Its usually not too difficult to find free shipping on these either.

Want something a bit fancier https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-lis...ipping?ie=UTF8&f_new=true&f_freeShipping=true

Splurge and buy nice but functional office furniture. This stuff is pushing 20 years old and still looks great.


View attachment 114700

Some looks kids stuff. Other's look like they belong on a shop floor or maybe a classroom or dorm room.

I bought mine so it looks nice in my home office. Yeah, it cost more up front, but again - it is nearly 20 years old, still looks nice, contemporary and I see no reason it won't last another 20 years. So in the long run, it is cheaper to pay more now than to pay again later, and then pay again a couple more times because cheap stuff will fall apart.

This. For as little as 200 bucks you can find near-mint condition actual office desks, that just scream 'indestructible' at you every time you sit at them. You can punch it, you can slam your head on it, but you'll only hurt yourself. You can put a few hundred kg of weight on it, but you'll only hurt your back. Hell, you can't even scratch or dent the desk surface because it is coated. I'd attach a picture of my desk so you can see what I mean, maybe later when I return from work.

Only issue perhaps in your case is size. These ain't small. But a corner desk piece may be feasible, you can let the rest of the real estate double as, I don't know, storage space or put some decoration on it.

About IKEA desks... sorry but if it needs to last, IKEA is pointless. If you can buy them by the pallet so you can replace it every year, then sure, great buy :D Office & IKEA really don't match. Their beds are OK though.

Here's the type of desk I'm thinking of - minus all the crap under and on top of it (this is linked from an actual used desk sale, look at its condition :D)

Cherry on top; mine even has cable guides across the whole length of it, tends to be standard feature.



ok guys
think i have finally found 2 desks out of many.
as we have a lot of brown already in our room i will probably go for the all black desk.
need to break it up abit. its also 149£ compared to 240£ for the other one.

although the more expensive one does look better imo.

links if anyone if interestedView attachment 114843View attachment 114844.

As for those: avoid glass & metal surfaces. They scratch, they are ice cold every time you sit at them and you will see the wear & tear clearly, glass can break and metal can dent. And they will eventually.

I disagree about avoiding glass. It is more durable, in terms of scratching than wood and even than many metals. Aluminum, for example, scratches easily. Good tempered glass can scratch, but it is not easy. If it was, car windshields in Arizona would become opaque in months, not years. As for breaking, a glass coffee table might be a concern if you have little kids that might fall into it. I would not worry about a computer desk, except if you have to move to a new home. But a little care will take care of that. Your bigger problem might be tracking with your mouse. You may need to use a pad - or find a mouse that tracks over glass "darkfield technology" mice track well on glass! So does Microsoft's "BlueTrack" laser mice. :)

For sure, I would go with the Bell'O. Yes, it more expensive but I think it looks much nicer than the other. But more importantly, I think it will fit your stated needs better. You said you will eventually be getting a 2nd monitor. That will not be a problem with the Bell'O. With the other, you will be paying for that little riser shelf but likely will not be able to use it with two monitors (assuming you want the monitors at the same height). Plus the Bell'O has that cable management feature. Good cable management does not just look nicer (especially in the living room), but it also helps keep feet from yanking on a cable and it helps with dust control (or at least hiding the dust).

It is true for the most part, but you need some pretty good quality (& thick) tempered glass to have no issues with it. It is also rated for much lower maximum pressure/weight than a decent wood surface. Overall, a glass desk of the same durability and build/material quality is easily twice as expensive as a similar quality wood surface.

A wood surface with coating like you see on the desk I showed will not wear more than a glass surface. And even if it does, less visibly so. A scratch on glass (much easier said than done esp with things like a heavy monitor stand moving around on it) is always visible.

Bottom line, with glass, there's quite a few more things to take into account. Even simple stuff like having to put some soft surface underneath most things or it won't feel all that pleasant to the touch, or the fact that putting glass on glass isn't the most fantastic sound to make.

Regardless, just pointing out pros and cons to these surfaces, you made a good point on that also. Just speaking from experience with glass desk/table surfaces. Its simply not as care-free as wood.

Not disagreeing there. But even two 32" monitors don't weigh a lot. And I think it safe no one will be standing on that desk. And at £240, I would expect some good quality. I note the glass shelf has a rated load of 56kg (123.45lbs). That's a decent amount.

There are other advantages to glass. A ball-point pen will not mar it, for example. And Windex is just as easy as Pledge. But yes, it can chip, crack, and scratch too.

I am NOT saying glass is for me. I prefer wood to the more modern look of glass. I am just saying "tempered safety" glass is not as fragile as first suggested.

You considered IKEA? They have some rather good and customisable work desks that aren't terribly expensive, unless you want the standing model with an electrical motor...
They apparently even have desks for gaming, whatever that means...

You're aware IKEA has a ranger of higher quality office desks as well, right?
The cheap stuff is crap, but it last surprisingly well, but if you pay a bit more, their desks aren't half bad in my experience.
Their "computer desks" on the other hand are junk.

I recently ''built'' a new desk too for my new system. A lot of people were rocking the IKEA Karlby and I thought I would give it a try. It's great. You have different sizes, you can customise it the way you want (height, legs, accessoires etc).

Perhaps you should check on reddit; that's where I got my inspiration from!

They dont look too bad, the office range but its also not cheaper than a real heavy duty office table. Some differences: thinner, less material everywhere, very small and thin cable guides compared to big ones. Its all just a bit more economical without offering a big price gap.

The Gerton table top is pretty good. I finished it in polyurethane and mounted it on steel folding legs that were cut down a few inches so the height of the table top is level with the arms on my chair.
Some of the hardware stores sell decent workbench tops which would be nice mounted on some legs.

Not sure why all this chatter is going on in a year old thread. Pretty sure the OP has it sorted by now. Closing up shop.
