+1 for Ikea. Affordable and awesome. I suggest you make a trip down there and see what you like!

pros about ikea is that it looks good and is cheap
cons is that they break easily and some things are quite fragile..

craigslist free section

WTF?

I like Ikea stuff but they're quite limited when it comes to desks. Plus most of them are too small...I have a pretty big desk right now and want something similar in size.

+1 for Ikea, my whole room is basically Ikea, been using for years and not one piece has broken yet

Mobler Furniture beside Ikea in Richmond is good too

craigslist I recently pick up a really nice L shape desk. It much better than what Ikkea sells for 1/3 of the price too. Looks brand new.

I got my office furniture from Staples.

In comparison, the prices were cheaper than Office Depot, at least for the same style/size that I was looking for.

The chair I got is comfy as hell and was only $99.99 iirc.

...what the hell? I'm not like...ghetto. I don't want someone's used desk.

Although thanks...I'll probably give my old desk away like this.

That's a little excessive.

I don't want an L shape...just one large desk. No glass either...need something substantial for monitor arms.

Also too small. My current desk is about 6' x 2.5' so I'll want something similar in size.

Price? What hotbaby suggested is too much. Uh...let's try to stay near $500.

This place. They got a pretty big storefront just off Broadway out near the Superstore/Liquor Distribution warehouse. It's all office furniture there (chairs, desks, shelving) and seemed fairly reasonably priced when I went looking for an office chair about a year ago.

+1 ikea
what I did was buy an unfinished wood desktop, sand it down and cover it with a few coats of poly urethane black.
For legs I bought some trestles. You could also use anything else as trestles to save money.

My desk looks sweet :)
