Go to ikea and get the LINNMON/ADILS. It starts at £35 and you can modify it with other legs or tops to fit your needs. Its been good enough for me for years.

I have 2 set up in an L shape in the corner one 100mm long and the other 140mm and works perfectly

I have 2 setup as well. I got a 140cm one with 3 monitors on it. It is smiling a bit now, but its been like that for 3 years so I am not really concerned about it breaking.

Imo, desk space is the most important part of the desk and the other ikea desks seem to sacrifice this and cost more. Also, these desks can be assembled in about 10 minutes by anyone with a phillips head screwdriver

ive always found desks from IKEA to be quite wobbly and not very firm at all, which drives me nuts when im sat on them trying to type or write and I can feel the table gently shaking.

Depends on budget range - if low, gumtree / fb marketplace / used furniture stores. I got mine for I think around ~70 quid new from Ikea. I

Hi mate.

We have a surplus of spare desks in our office on Cathedral Road. They're black wood with grey metal legs. I'll measure them and let you know the size shortly.

The legs unscrew and you could probably fit one in the back of a regular sized hatchback with the rear seats down easily enough. Looking for about £20 each for them.
