Is there an Ikea near you? They've always got great-priced, easy to assemble stuff.
Lol, yeah there's one about an hour away in Orlando.I was trying to avoid the drive though, but I might have to if people keep recommending it.Quote:

I don't need the stuff on the top, truth be told I just need a big surface.Quote:

How much did it cost you, and how long did it take?Quote:

I would not suggest buying that cheap crap that Ikea sells. They have nice storage items, but the furniture is garbage.
I might have to build one myself.I don't see anything I want,and I don't need any of the extra stuff a lot of these desks have.
It's either Ikea or Office Depot for me, unless I want to brave Craig's list.
You have any desks from IKEA?Quote:

My old computer desk was from Office Depot, basically the same kind of construction as IKEA would do. IKEA seems to emphasize small profile furniture for apartments though.Quote:

I searched for months to find the perfect fit. They are very good quality for a bargain store piece, clean, easy to assemble, and best of all, they match my expensive bedroom furniture very well. In all my searching, it became abundantly obvious that Target carries the best furniture of all bargain options. I don't think you'll find anything better outside a specialty/furniture store for the price and quality.
My desk is from Ikea, its damn sturdy and huge.
In all around £80 and took me a day to build, it meant I could fit it perfectly to the space I had available too.Quote:
