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

Ronin what kind of desk are you looking for? And what is your budget? If you pm me some pictures, I can see if I can find something similar at work tomorrow

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.

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.
