Try a L shaped glass desk, anon. You'll fucking love it.

>>56586585
that's what i have for a desk right now, and it's uneven shit - but i love the giant workspace (i got a 6' one)

>>56586638
glass desks are a fucking meme lol

>>56586585
This picture is only from google, but its the exact model & colour that I have. Ikea, Malm. Its sturdy, large, didn't cost an arm and a leg and has a very nice side table thing which pulls in & out, which can be put on either side or left off entirely.
Great place to put my coffee/food when at the PC.

These are the best desks. Made with actual materials that aren't cheap as shit and they weigh a metric ton.

Wood ones are better, plastic doesn't have enough weight in it.

I'd love to propose the thinkpad of desks for /g/. The LINNMON / ADILS Table setup. It's cheap, it's aesthetic, and it does the job. I've had mine for three years now.

I don't know man. This shit looks kinda bad. Like something only a faggot who keeps shakespear on his desk would use.

>>56587422
It is man. I had to go to the store to find this thing then realized they had a pre assembled packages of it online. They legs might be separate but I remember paying about $50 for the desk and about $10 for all four legs.

I always thought about sharing it with /g/ and this thread reminded me of it. Cheers.

£100 in UK money. I'd definitely say it has been worth it.
Like I say, very sturdy desk. Its currently holding a PC that's water-cooled (custom loop) and doesn't have even the slightest issue with that despite all the added weight (as well as stuff like my monitor, speakers, lamp and other bits).

When putting it together, you can tell that its well designed and won't fall apart under normal - or perhaps even unusually excessive strain.

>>56587511
buy a cheap one and remove the wheels maybe?
or buy a set of stronger wheels at home depot, like the ones for carts

>>56587675
I was thinking the particle board is going to crack to say nothing about the wheels.

>>56587697
Ikea also has solid wood tables, like the Ingo (aka 'memetable' since they're so popular for Maker workbenches)

Thinking of making a receptionist style desk from salvaged parts for the next room.

sup guise im planning on getting a desk but i dont know a good one, can someone recommend me one?

>>56587842
I now have one on the way.

I've been wanting a desk, just a simple one. You've shown me the light fellow anon. Thank you. My current one is a rinky dinky poo in the loo level desk that would easily cause me carpet tunnel or wrist strain injury.

>>56592289
the malms are nice but they are tiny desks. If you are just running a single monitor and/or laptop setup it should be fine but for everything else you are going to feel real tight on space.

>>56588417
I don't see the rounded/corner version on their website. Do you remember if it's still called "Linnmon / Adils"?

Probably the Ikea electric sit/stand desk. Something like $500 for a desk that moves at the touch of a button. Amazing deal, given that older competition is in the $1000 - $5000 range.

>>56586585
Really depends on how you plan to use it, among other considerations.

Personally I would like a synthetic granite top with hidden drop outs for wires and small items. With a three very heavy duty under drawer, two of which pull diagonally out to act as desk extensions with enough depth that I can slide a small mess out of the way for when I am done brainstorming and entering my focus mode. The legs would be a puddle head stainless steel I-beam with cross wire bracing and hard rubber contacts, with minimal floor contact and rounded edging so I don't hurt my legs. This desk will has no vibrations given the damping, weight and strong materials, as I find wobbly desks to be VERY distracting. I estimate I could has this custom built to spec for around $4000, but given my space and money supply I'll just get something decent from IKEA for much less.

>>56588608

>glass desks lol
>enjoy your breaking desk

christ, what happens when you guys use glass cups, or like, plates. what are you doing with your mice and keyboards, fucking slamming your face into them and dropping anvils on them?

you know those commercials where the actor does something incredibly retarded to justify some stupid product? im seeing that shit right now. /g/ is sitting at a glass desk, hitting a walnut with a goddamn hammer RIGHT onto the glass, and he misses his target by around 2 and a half feet, and it shatters. the image goes grey, and /g/ looks up with a shocked, disappointed frown. then a fucking wooden desk spins into view and a bunch of bold text selling points show up. "wont shatter!" "you can pound nails into it!" "can be set on fire for warmth!"

>>56587004
I have this same desk. Bought it used off Craigslist for $60 and it was dam near brand new. Its pretty good.

>>56601455

>smallest nick or scratch

yeah, its fucking glass. its not like a small nick or scratch is something you do with a fingernail. its GLASS. if you make a "small" nick or scratch, its because you hit it "pretty fucking hard". Whens the last time a drinking glass exploded because you "lightly" scratched it with your teeth. hell, whens the last time a drinking glass HIT your teeth?

if you can manage to drink without breaking either your fucking teeth or the glass, you can probably manage not to slam your face through your desk

seriously, you dont see people going "glass drinking glasses? lol enjoy your missing front teeth".
