Argos and Ikea are crap.

[Azure]

So where can I find a nice sophisticated, functional desk for the PC I have in the works.

[quickshot89]

Argos have good desks, there's a nice

[carocat]

Don't go for that one. I've got it. Argos have nothing decent below 200 I think.

What's the problem with Ikea?

[Azure]

Because most of their stuff is manufactured to a poor standard. Half of their stock looks like it belongs in a primary school and the other half looks like it is designed for teenage boys who still live at home.

Where is Neyo he is a fashion punk has he got a nice desk?

[quickshot89]

the other half looks like it is designed for teenage boys who still live at home.



2 things here, i have a small room, and finding a desk with that much stuff, and within 90cm is hard, argos have the desk i want

and im a teenager who lives @ home, so yes, argos FTW :D

I got my table for my 360 from Argos.

[phatmuther]

You could try Staples, or Focus Do It All have some as well.

[Pirate Balloon]

Uh, Ikea actually have really good quality ****. It's places like MFI etc that have poor quality stuff. I've tried them, Ikea is far superior.

[Azure]

Ah staples I couldn't remember the name - and yeah MFI is garbage as well.

[Bonzo]

MFI are appauling. MFI the one stop shop for your MDF =D

Thats what im thinking. I have 300 to spend on a new desk and chair, however there is nothing i can really see that i would actually spend

[phatmuther]

What kind of desk are you looking for? A straight one, L shapped?

You should have pretended you don't like it. Azure and a meer peasant such as yourself owning the same desk would be sacreligeous...

[kurosaki7]

Glass desks are crap depends what budget your on man, as anything -100 you should not be expecting quality but something that looks half decent and is practical. I will just be buying a chunky wooden desk with a large surface area to get ready for my next system to be on there aswell whatever that may be. As long as it looks ok and does the job i dont care its a desk, not a tourist attraction.

MFI don't use MDF, it's veneered chipboard.

What you after in a desk? Just a single surface or tiers? Wouldn't be too hard to build one to be honest, getting some MDF and a bit of veneer is a doddle, get it chopped to size for you and find some legs, easy :D

[menzo666]

ikea are wicked i have my whole room from them, never had a piece missing only extras. cool minimalistic designs

[Azure]

I'm looking for something that has generous space, simple 1 tier system with an ergonomic cut into it, could be L-shaped.

I mean, I woud be happy enough with just a big high quality table but I want to sit somewhat in the workspace, it sounds OTT but I have spent enough times at a badly made desk or work station to realise how **** they are compared to something that is functional and actually helps you do what you want.

I might actually just get a piece of wood and have a carpenter go to it, then buy some legs from wherever and fasten them on myself. I don't mind forking out for it within reason [sub

[KONSPIRACY]

I have a PC desk sitting here doing nothing if you're interested?

Havent got any pics available as its behind all my studio kit...basically one low shelf for pc/printer to stand on, desktop for keyboard/mouse n a higher adjustable shelf for the monitor (optional). Also has a round thing that folds out for your mouse n tucks in under the desktop (optional) plus built in CD racks on the legs. Surfaces are wood (ie covered mdf) n legs are brushed steel effect.
