Totally convenient. Jokes aside, if you are interested in building your own (in relevancy to the DIY factor to this particular sub-reddit), may I point you towards /r/DIY? Also, depending on the materials you want, here is a Glass & Steel L-shaped Desk, and another if you are more into the Traditional look.
If you do look into building your own however, look into some really cool materials such as
Mess around with different stains/paints! And best of luck!
I was thinking the same thing. I have this desk and it's cheap, sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing. It's harder to pick a chair without sitting on it.
Hi All,
A while back, I posted some phone photos of my closet turned into a makeup room and it drew some attention, I've since updated with some information. I wanted to do a good update and also update with some good photos as well. I'm not trying to brag about anything, this "makeup room" is not big, didn't cost a lot of money by any means (you will see, I've listed costs), I am merely updating some information from before. Thanks!
Edit: It's more room centered/focused and not so much makeup focused I suppose, but if you have any questions, or want close up shots of anything/makeup, just let me know!
I forgot to add the desk itself. I got it off Amazon for $52.49 and if you have Prime, shipping is free.

Relatively cheap, but fairly sturdy.
Pretty sure it is this one. I got it a few months back when I moved and it is absolutely perfect for music set ups and super cheap compared to most desks.

I've been using this exact model for over a year.
It's "Tribesigns Modern L-Shaped Desk" from Amazon. It's a great desk for only $130. Just wish it had more depth, a little shallow for my liking but it works.

I have this desk which has worked pretty well for me for the better part of the last three or four years. I have three monitors and a set of speakers on mine, so it should be able to fit two monitors pretty easily with room for your other stuff.
I have this desk that I purchased from Amazon. Free shipping, only took me about 20 minutes to assemble. I have two monitors with plenty of room for a third, and am actually using my keyboard/mouse up top instead of in the tray since my keyboard is pretty big. Overall, I really like it. 3 color options and tons of space. Wasn't sure if you could use an "L" desk, but still wanted to give this option.

If you want a pretty cheap (price only, quality is fab) desk version I’ve had this one for years and loooove it. Thing is beast. Not real wood though. But hey, cheap.

I got one too. Iss dope
No. I specifically avoided the arms that clamp to the desk for this reason.
This is the stand I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Monitor-Standing-Supports-002-0020/dp/B006JG9RQ2/
The base itself is actually fairly heavy and wide, but presumably it spreads the weight across the desk. Right now I actually have the monitor stand spread over 2 glass surface desks. (https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8) Mostly because the desk are fairly short length-wise, and I prefer to have my keyboard and mouse on the desk, as oppose to the pull out tray. I did have the entire stand with the 3 monitors on one glass surface, for a brief duration, when I was moving furniture around, and there was no problems either.
I think the desk is this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VLW38Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have it and I like it a lot.
OP. Y U no learn to search
Just search corner desk (or desk corner) and you find stuff like this
Btw it says it can switch the desks around, but you should make sure before buying because I didn't
Absolutely no prob :)
My mom reviews electronics for a living so we end up getting tons of new devices really often and generally need to find cables to match so things are being switched out and added in all the time. To make it more convenient instead of having to go sort through a box or into a drawer and untangle cables I wanted something super easy access to so that if i needed an hdmi , bam, I had one. Same with the others.
For the controllers I used Stick-On Game Controller Hooks 2 Pack. The snes and nes usb controllers are simply hung via a tack.
I got a simple ~$10 corkboard from walmart, used a label maker for the labels and then used CraZy TACKz 36tacks to hang the cables. I wouldn't recommend them though, a standard tack works better honestly ( In theory a hook is great but they loosen and then swing around making it a pain to re-orient them when you're taking things on and off frequently.)
The headphones under the desk is The Anchor Great adhesive, super cheap and can orient it vertically or horizontally which lets you fit two pair ( in my case one for skype/discord+gaming and the other for general use since it has better quality but no mic)

For anyone else curious about the other pieces of the set up:
the desk is Series A:72inch Desk by Bush Business Furinture.
The lights are EconoLed RGB 5M 3528 LED Strip Light 300leds
Mousepad is Reflex Lab Huge Gaming Mouse Pad
The headphones are :

Monitors are : ASUS VN279QL and Dell U3417W FR3PK
Keyboard is : Razer BlackWidow X Tournament Edition Chroma
Mouse is : Razer Naga Hex v2
Amazon! Here is the link for it. Took me a while to decide on a desk, but I'm super happy I went with this one.
I have the same desk. Never thought about putting 2 together. I would need money before I think that big.

I have a desk similar to this and it works great. Has plenty of real estate for my speakers and my unnecessarily large keyboard.
I just purchased an L desk from Amazon. It arrives on Tuesday and I'm looking forward to it.
Just a cheap on from amazon. I will be upgrading when I move out to a long straight desk but this will work for now.

OP, have a look at this
Desk depth is 24 inches, 4 inches deeper than the Walker Edison desk. The keyboard tray is much wider, easily capable of acommodating a mouse and keyboard. The desk itself is also 10 inches longer and wider.
Also consider this desk from office depot. The keyboard tray is about 4 inches shorter than the zline desk so no mouse and keyboard unless you get a compact keyboard. Otherwise, this desk has the same dimensions as the z line. It goes on sale frequently for $170, which you can bring down further with coupons. I got mine $135 just last week. Haven't set it up yet though.
Third option is to hit Craigslist. Search for ikea galant. You'll get plenty of hits.

Check out the black one with glass ($99)
I use it and it's amazing.
Edit: http://imgur.com/a/xx1v8 Here is my setup with it.
I have this desk. It's pretty cool, serves its purpose. It the Walker Edison 3 piece desk.
This is the desk if anyone cares. IMO the best desk for this cheap I've ever found.
This desk is what I have. It's a bit of a process putting it together, but when it's done it looks super nice and is a very good size. I can easily fit my bookshelf speakers, 2 monitors, and my tower (if I wanted) on one side of the 'L'. The other side just tends to get cluttered with stacks of Magic The Gathering cards :)
i just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB5LE8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 last night

I have the 48"x31" bekant and love it. It's a sturdy, slim, and the beveled edges don't kill your arms if you rest on it. Super easy to put together, especially considering its from Ikea.
https://imgur.com/a/uJWnK
I've since upgraded to 3x27" monitors and love the setup. I have mine a little different, with the third almost 90 degrees to my left, but that's mostly just for music/soccer in the background.
I considered making my own L desk from Ikea with linnmon table tops (woulda been like $70 or something ridiculously cheap) but after being able to see/feel the tops, I was put off. They're rather thick with sharpish edges and I didn't feel it would be nice in the long run. More like a kitchen table than a desk if anything.
I considered this guy as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPRRZ8/

Alright my man. Since you have such a low budget ($700) but don't want your apartment to look like crap, your best bet is going to be minimalism. You're in a great sub for minimalist inspiration. Take this recent post, for example. Not everyone was super impressed, but I'd say he did pretty good for a budget of $195. At the very least we can say with 100% certainty that it looks better than the average undergrad apartment.
I took the liberty of checking out the Halifax craigslist offerings and they are far and few between. However, I did find a potentially decent desk: see here. You might be able to haggle down the price a little with some luck. Otherwise, you might want to look at Amazon for desks (example 1 and example 2). For a desk chair, you could look at Amazon, but you might be better off going somewhere local (even if you go to Walmart) because you want to make sure a desk chair is going to be comfortable.
For a mattress, I'd again suggest Amazon. I'm just not sure you're going to find any better deals than what they have to offer. Mattress buying also involves a lot of personal preference, but "big box" mattress stores are incredibly overpriced. It seems that memory foam mattresses (such as this) are the most inexpensive, so I would look around Amazon to see what you think you'll like. I think I saw a mattress for as little as $99.^(though personally, I'm not sure I'd trust it...) Keep in mind that you will either need (a) a box spring and bed frame or (b) a platform bed in addition to the mattress. With your budget, a platform bed will probably be your best bet. You can even get one with a "headboard" for pretty cheap (the headboard will definitely up your apartment's style a little bit and keep it further away from "garbage apartment of undergrad" level): see here and here.
Alright, I'll break down what we've done so far. I'm in the US and don't know that much about Canadian dollars, so I'm doing this in USD - hopefully it's close:
That leaves you around $150 for other items. I assume you have basic human needs covered (bed sheets-do not sleep on a bare mattress!- and towels), so you could use this money for more furniture or for decor. I would probably try get some attractive and functional bedding (please do not get anything polyester!) in a minimalist pattern. Ikea is really unbeatable for this - see here and here. For a couch, I would either consider Amazon or start scouring Craigslist every day. I would probably forego a coffee table until you have other things that will improve your quality of life (dining chair/table, television, etc.); you really don't need one.
Anyway, these are just a couple of suggestions. Hope this helps!

Thanks! It's a pretty solid desk from Amazon, bought one for myself and my mother for her birthday. link for those interested. Only complaint is that the lip around the desk is a little too short for a mounted scissor arm.
It’s not the exact one, but this one is extremely similar, and I have it and love it Tribal-signs 55inch desk
It's pretty good for the price

I came from a 3 foot wide little mini desk with a slide out keyboard tray so all I wanted in the world was more room, found a plain 6' desk in Amazon and have been happy ever since.

BUSH BUSINESS FURNITURE SERIES A:72-inch DESK
Holds my 3 monitors and desktop. Stable and works well with a rolling chair so that I can easily get in and out. It has held up well for a year and shown no signs of wear. Some useful cable management at the bottom and sides too.
Don't buy this
Here ya go! I honestly don't really recommend it, I regret buying a glass desk. Dust, fingerprints, and some of the pieces didn't fit perfectly perpendicular. But maybe I'm just bad at building desks. I loved it at first though, so maybe it's your thing.
Edit: I also removed the keyboard tray when I got my big mousepad
Does anyone know if a clamp monitor stand would work for a desk like this?
I know a guy who can get me a discount on a lot of electronics, I call him first, get hooked up with two smart bulbs $85, a projector $92, and speakers $140. I'm figuring also $50 for cables.
Other than the wall the projector is going to be on, which I'm leaving white, paint all the other walls with black chalkboard paint. I'm gonna figure this at about $40, 1 can of paint that covers 110 square feet is $10 on Walmart.com. Black walls is pretty retro futuristic dystopia, and now we can draw or write on them, which is good for making things. I'll also be on the lookout for a large flat piece of scrap metal to mount on the wall for magnetic haikus and "filing" printouts. Take apart old hard drives for free magnets.
I'm gonna grab this desk,
https://www.amazon.com/Z-Line-Belaire-Glass-L-Shaped-Computer/dp/B0019MAUTE/ and a cheap chinese $15 strip light kit on Amazon, and underlight the desk.
I'm going to use scrounged furniture for any other furniture in the room. I'll probably start applying the leftover blackboard paint to it, to give it all a uniform appearance, and run out halfway through, and then spend $10-$25 on another can or two of paint and some sandpaper.
I'll spend $90 on 3 smart plugs, then purchase a $20 electric kettle, a $30 electric rice cooker. Now I have the ability to not stop working to make instant noodles.
I'm also going to pick up $30 worth of 3M mounting tape, [this $243 couch off of Amazon](
https://www.amazon.com/Target-Marketing-Systems-66318BLK-Storage/dp/B000WZ9ZVS/) because I always wanted a fainting couch and a random incongruous piece of furniture seems very "low life" to me, and a $30 shower curtain with some weird print to cover any windows- this one I picked because it has kind of a vaporwave aesthetic, but I can confirm that it works because I have one with a trees in the forest print covering the sliding glass door in my bedroom. If this is a bedroom, substitute the fainting couch for a cheap memory foam mattress and some printed sheets that I'll probably buy at Target with cartoon characters on them.

Office Star Prado L-Shape Workstation Desk in Black
Used to own this desk a few months ago before I moved. Admittedly this one is a lot heavier than the old one, so, it's not going anywhere. That being said, I do enjoy the extra desk space it provides over the previous one.
This is the desk that I currently have. I'm thinking of building some sort of floating bed frame, but other than that I am completely open to ideas. I'm also buying a comforter so color is also undecided... Thanks
Sooo many things. Power strips, extension cords, HDMI/AV cables are all "have some extra" because, well, you can never have too many, or know where you will need them.
Grill? You need a grill. End of story.
You said you were looking for an L-Shaped desk. I have this but black with clear glass. It's a bit small, but I really like it. With some mounts for screens to give more desk space (kb/mouse doesn't fit on the tray) it's nice. It cost me like $80, so it wasn't a huge deal. Good buy.
Also, ample trash cans, especially one in the bathroom with a lid for any lady friends you might have. An absolute must. Spare toothbrush isn't a bad idea either :P
This is the desk I got 2 years ago when I built my current rig. I have a 27" and a 29" monitor, and use Monitor stands to raise them up, as well as give me extra room sort of like a cubby under each monitor.
Personally though, I regret getting this desk. My old desk was a 6'x3' flat-top. (The desk was super old and couldn't be taken out of the room it was in without breaking it)
I play music, guitar mostly... L shaped or corner desks, and guitars don't work together.
Otherwise though, for only $100 this desk is a good buy. My keyboard tray is the only thing that's broken; and the keyboard tray is somewhat pointless anyway because it doesn't quite come out enough if you have a larger gaming keyboard. Had to get rid of my Blackwidow and replace it with a Corsair Vengeance K70 because the extra keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard made it too big for the tray.
I would reccomend an L-shaped desk. They're really great for that kind of stuff. IKEA has good desks. I have one that I bought at Office Max for about $100. I can also confidently reccomend this Walker Edison glass desk. It's good quality, and very strong. It doesn't have much storage though.

Not die without, but I really like my desk---lots of desktop space, space for laptop, and I have my external monitor in the middle, and I have other things I can store under since I don't have a desktop tower like in the picture.

Forgive me for the terrible formatting but I'm writing this in notes for easy copy and paste. I'm moving soon and I'm like 90% sure this will be the layout of the apartment I stay in.
I have a rough idea how I want things but I'd like some feedback and a forum to bounce ideas off. Ok so as I stated above I want it to have a SUBTLE cyberpunk feel think along the lines of:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/48p40k/apartment/?ref=search_posts&st=J3CV1TAX&sh=7aa1f669
Without all the clutter obviously. I want to have a simple futon where the couch is located and the tv exactly where it is in the render. to the left of the futon I want a corner desk such as:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3LMFRI393MQQT&colid=2Z9WWCIKD2PXQ
Also I should point out what got me interested in a sort of cyverpunkish is that I have a small purple neon sign that I acquired while I was living in Japan that I think would look pretty neat as some nighttime ambient lighting. I still don't know where I'd put it.
Ok so for the area where the bed is located (I plan on using the futon as my bed) I plan on putting my homelab server equipment. I'm a net admin by trade so it something I definitely plan to build. Anything else you guys could think of to help? Some nice dressers, nightstands, coffee tables and such that would fit the aesthetic I'm going for? Is my plan terrible and can you think of a better way to design the place? I'm not extremely anal about this whole thing I just wanna be comfy in my place especially since it'll be the first time I'm going to live alone.
Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_g87TAbKXCGX55 and it was about a year an a half old
What are the curved pieces? And any idea of the exact measurement of the "back" of the U shape from corner to corner?
I MAY be doing two of these together, which fit my study area closely...although my chair may be too big.
This is the black desk. I like it, bitch for cable management. Get some of the sticky things for cable ties and some industrial strength velcro. I velcro items light enough to the bottom (or the leg for my usb hub) and use the cable ties to hold the mass of cables I have (DAC, speakers, amplifier, two dvi cables, usb hub, mouse, keyboard, and keypad. The sticky cable tie things work wonders. They're linked in the sidebar of /r/CableManagement irrc and are cheap)
Here ya go! It's the Walker Edison Soreno Corner Desk.
How is that desk working out for you? I have thought about getting it from amazon a few times but idk...
what the desk looks like
I had the 2nd one or very similar to it you can build it into 2 smaller desks and not use the middle piece.
Edit I had this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001FB5LE8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494269819&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=walker+edison+l+desk&dpPl=1&dpID=41E6hJc1stL&ref=plSrch
Here you go

BAM!
It is a glass desk, so you cant screw anything into it. but it works great! Took some time to assemble but was easy enough. Note that the "CPU stand" thing is virtually useless but could be used somewhere else.
had to do some basic wood work to get the monitor stand mountable
This would be the one.
Here are some desks I've considered but are slightly too large for me!

I really dig the black/glass/wood look, so you may not like same desks I like.
Nah, it's this one. The Galant is great though, but I bought this desk in my older, smaller, apartment, and this was the size desk I needed. Compact but very serviceable.
Feel free to bug. It's tough finding arms that can reach over other monitors. The three middle ones are held up with single monitor mounts. I'm able to get them over the bottom monitors because I have a desk with a second level that they are connected to similar to this.
The TV on top is on a vertical mount which is sitting on a box and held down with weights. Kind of ghetto but I never look behind there anyway.
I have this one in black. The pullout keyboard tray is for a keyboard and mouse, though. You can put your MIDI keyboard on the glass, which is where mine is at. Works perfectly, imo.
Amazon It was a $150 at the time i got it.

I'm looking for a computer desk, most likely a corner desk like this
I want to spend under $200, but I want something stable that can fit 2 27" monitors (currently have 1) and my desktop (NZXT Phantom 530). I don't want the desktop on the ground (because dust is mostly ground level) and I DO NOT WANT TEMPERED GLASS as I have seen way too many disaster photos on here. I would build my own, but I'd rather it look nice.
Any recommendations?
Honestly I am using Lifetime tables. As long as you are not putting anything super heavy on them they are fine. If you have nothing but a computer to put on your desk, then having a real 'desk' would be better.
This one looks pretty cool for your price range.
How bout this one?.
Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves, Espresso seems popular and a pretty good bargain.
Got this desk: http://www.amazon.com/Ameriwood-Office-L-Shaped-Shelves-9354303PCOM/dp/B009YPRRZ8 near fall super cheap and Very sturdy! Also alot more room than the one in OP. No quality issues yet, you do have to build it though.
Im currently using This Desk And it works fine, except for 1 issue. I can only fit 2 of my 24" monitors on it currently. I could put on a 3rd but the way the desk is built you kinda have to sit farther to the left/right of the desk depending which way you face so 1 monitor is alittle to far away for it to be a comfortable fit. I hope I explained it well haha its in a kinda of awkward position.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXEJXTM/
https://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-33950212-Gaming-Desk-Pro/dp/B01C41K93A/
I ended up going with that first one because it didn't take up half the wall of my room, the legs look more sturdy than the other two, the price was better, the pictures people took looked good and Zinus is also the company I used for my bed frame (which was very easy to put together and it's really sturdy).
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C41K93A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1km6Bb7M9V41G
I didn’t install the speaker attachments, tablet holder or controller stand. The storage racks underneath are holding external hard drives, my Switch, etc.
All the attachments came with the desk.

If you are on a budget I would suggest this. Got it for a friend as a gift. Was easy to assemble and isn't too small or overly large. The accessories such as the cup holder are completely optional to put on or not.

First I'd like to start by saying good furniture, that will last, in general isn't cheap and I know that this is double your budget. But I have two of these, one for myself and one for my wife, and they are awesome computer desks that will easily support four monitors comfortably.

What's the rough size you are looking for? Anyway, given your criteria these are probably the choices I would go with. They should all have free shipping.
55" x 55" x 24" L-Shape - $143.99
55" x 23.6" Desk, looks a little higher quality - $139.99
33 7/8 " x 19.5" x 23 5/8" - L-Shape, Keyboard Drawer, little shelf - $109.00
'47-71" x 35.5" x 29.5" - Office Style Desk - $188.05
71.5" x 23.25" - Table top - NO legs - $35.00
28" hairpin table legs - 4 pack - $59.99
Also check out Home Depot or a hardware store/lumber yard maybe. They often sell table tops and counter tops, all you would need is legs.
Second this. I got this one on Amazon. It's super sturdy and perfect for a clean, simple setup.
It's actually very sturdy, cheap too.
I'm not sure the exact weight limit but I would sit on it without worry.

What is the size of your desk now? I cant comment of the ducky but yes 60% layout is sweet and its hard for me to use anything bigger at this point because I hate the look of a big keyboard on my desk. I use a 55 inch by 23 inch desk and its plenty for me. I like a large desk but minimalist look with not much on desk.

its a really sturdy and well built desk but you cant really use vesa mounts or anything easily
Just got a new desk a little bit ago. Pretty cheap, big, and sturdy, and my dual monitor mount clamps on to it (not perfectly, but it gets the job done and I haven't had any troubles) Some reviews said theirs came damaged, but mine was perfectly fine.

This might be a little better: https://www.amazon.com/BBF-Series-A-72W-Desk/dp/B000W8I1D8
might be a bit too expensive but I'll be damned if I said every penny wasn't worth it. it has alot of leg room and surface room. perfect for triple monitors and workstation. extremely easy to assemble and very high quality. this is how it looks like

Me and my fiancé share one of these desks currently:
Series A 72W Desk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W8I1D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_a2bvzb3NE03SC
Where we live now we dont really have as much extra space to have separate desks without changing too much up so this works well. Both of our 2nd monitors are mounted using a wall arm since it wouldnt be practical to have dual monitors on the desk for both of us.
SERIES A:72-inch DESK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W8I1D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_80jvybQR8DAPJ
So far- 10/10 recommend. We'll see how it holds up with a Pg348q on it, but it's got s super thick piece of wood on top, so I don't see it being an issue. Cable management underneath is nice too.
Series A 72W Desk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W8I1D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_s5dmLK82S3vbt
I love it! So much space and the cable management is a piece of cake with the built in cord channel. I got it for $200 shipped with Amazon Prime.
I'm gonna triple mount 3 Asus VG248QE monitors (24" screen, each 22.5"wide), and I'm unsure about what mounts I should use. I was eyeing this triple monitor mount, but I don't know if it will perfectly fit my monitors or allow me to curve them inward enough. This is a big deal for me since I want to have three monitors and my tower (9" wide) on my desk (72"), and curving the outer two monitors will make everything fit with ease. That being said, I was also thinking about getting 3 of these single monitor mounts which seem to be cheaper. The only cons I can think of with this is that initial set up will be a drag and the cable management will be less appealing. I assume this method would allow for more freedom with a single monitor, so I'll be able to save more space on my desk and rotate monitors with ease. I'm sorta leaning towards the latter option, but I could really use a second opinion- Should I get the 3x mount or 3 1x mounts? Is there a recommended alternative anyone can vouch for that won't kill my wallet?

Here's this desk I ordered it earlier on sale for $99 I haven't built it yet but I've seen some videos on youtube and i like it's look and space. Here http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-3-Piece-Contemporary-Silver/dp/B00166HC9E
I can't really help with the mattress, but i have this desk in my tiny bedroom. I use the short section for my computer, and the long section has a 32" tv on it, and all my makeup and junk on the corner section.
I put it together by myself. It came with an Allen wrench, but I used an electric screwdriver with the attachment and it made things go a lot faster. It was super easy, but the glass pieces were surprisingly heavy. It took me maybe an hour, including unpacking all the pieces.
I think they make this desk in different finishes and surfaces too if you're not keen on the glass. But it looks classy as fuck, is super sturdy, and I would highly recommend it.
EDIT: the box it came in was maybe a bit larger than a crib mattress
It depends on how many monitors you have and their sizes, but if it's remotely close to my set up, I have a corner desk that comfortably fits a 27" curved monitor, a 23" monitor, a Wii U, PS4, and an Xbox One.
http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-3-Piece-Contemporary-Silver/dp/B00166HC9E
This is the one I have and it's currently on sale on amazon for like 60% off. It also comes with a little stand to put your tower on if you're in a carpeted rooms for airflow. The tempered glass is also nice and easy to clean/dust.
Looks like the one I got from Amazon, except I got the multi version
https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B00166HC9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522354163&sr=8-1&keywords=corner%2Bdesk%2Bblack%2Bglass&th=1
Go to a local staples/walmart and try some out to get a feel for your preferences. There are things to consider like style, do you want something that goes in a corner like this http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-3-Piece-Contemporary-Glass/dp/B00166HC9E/ref=lh_ni_t or is space an issue so something like this might be better http://www.amazon.com/South-Shore-Axess-Collection-Black/dp/B003FGWY1O. Right now I have something like this http://www.amazon.com/Target-Marketing-Systems-Berkeley-Computer/dp/B00200KD5U and il be upgrading to something like the first desk I posted, the under desk keyboard thing really sucks for gaming for me. hope this helps
Other than that being the black version, it looks identical to mine.
Here's the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00166HC9E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got this desk last year and am currently using it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00166HC9E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I generally like it; it's solid, wasn't too tricky to assemble, and fits well in a corner. My only gripe is that I am not able to install a triple-monitor mount that grips the desk, but honestly that's an issue with glass-topped desks in general, not just this model. All in all, I am pretty happy with this desk.
I did not, it's this one
actually looking at it again, its not the same desk but really similar.
desk
I am pretty sure it is this one. I'm going to be getting the cheaper Silver one soon. I like a desk with a good amount of room.
EDIT: Well shit. The silver one jumped up in price.
I've had this for around 3 years, nice sturdy glass, very good looking. It has enough space for my lg34um95 and a 24" monitor with thick bezels while still having the side free to do whatever over there.

I like this desk a whole lot. I prefer metal/glass desks to wood though.
Keyboard trays can keep the keyboard out of the way... but thats a preference I developed from using a computer desk from 1995 (which is what this one replaced)
I bought a cheap lamp at ikea that clamps to it and used adhesive cable guides to route the wire along the frame.
I can't find my exact desk, but I have one very similar to this (mine has straight lines instead of those weird curves, which, IMO, looks a lot better). I got it on clearance for $99 (they might have been discontinuing the model to replace it with that one), plenty of room, sturdy, has held up well, and being mostly glass, it doesn't feel like the entire room is taken up by a big desk.
Scored it off Craigslist.
You can find it here on Amazon though.
here you go
I've got a hugeass mousepad. It actually sits under my mouse, keyboard, and still has room. It's a little wider than the section of desk I have it on (this is my desk, which I would highly recommend), but I love it all the same. I've got plenty of room for all of my shit.
I like my Corsair mouse quite a bit, though it's just a wee bit over the $50 parameter at $59.
Per Araziah's suggestion, I've started using f.lux. I used to use it on my (jailbroken) iPhone, and I think it is a great app/program.
This desk has been a very good purchase for me, free shipping with prime and $100 under your budget

[This](Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uvUDybAA4E7K3)
Only gripe I have is you have to make sure the bolts on the keyboard tray are tight or it will fall off... but I'm pleased with it. I have a 27 in monitor on it, an av receiver, and 3 game consoles on it.
Currently have a desk like this and setup is about the same as pic. I have a MSI Armor RX 580 4GB which I hear runs hot anyways.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=twister_B01G91LZS4?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
all i did was not install the peices to make it an "L" and bolted the 2 normal desk pieces together, mine also didnt come with any kind of keyboard tray but this is the link i used so if you get one it may not be the exact same desk. i also plain out wouldn't recommend this desk. glass desks are a huge gamble and can easly break and even randomly explode for no reason due to manufacturing defects in the glass wich is an even bigger gamble and if i could i would have traded in the desk for a diffrent one and dont plan to use this desk for very long.
This is the best desk purchase I've ever made.
Highly recommend.
I was thinking about checking out Ikea now I'm sure I need to. ATM I have this but my tower literally takes up an entire side of the L desk and my printer hangs off the corner.
This is not an exact L, but fits in a corner like a charm.
http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8
If you live outside USA it's going to cost a little though :)
For me it was around 320€ total, where as a little bit bigger IKEA Galant was around 270€ I believe? Maybe it's just my country but very expensive. IMO this Walker Edison corner desk looks awesome.
This is what I got and I like it, I didnt install the keyboard tray because I dont like them so its not necessary. You can put your monitor/mouse/keyboard on one side and the part that wraps around you can put whatever extra stuff you want.

Walker Edison 3 Piece - Multi-color (The cheapest)
Pretty sturdy and spacious for the price.
I found it on amazon. Each rectangle is 31 x 20, and the round part is 20x20. It's 29" off the ground

Amazon - Walker Edison Soreno Modern... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I bought this one on amazon about a year ago and its pretty nice. "Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass" Its obviously glass and difficult to clean, i would recommend coasters if you buy it. But the price is good and its on sale right now. https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511995783&sr=8-4&keywords=desk
Personally if I could do it all over again I would have saved for a none L shaped regular or standing desk like Uplift. They are more durable, easier to clean, easier to move, and provides more long term space where you can actually sit at it and see everything using a keyboard without turning your chair to look at your other monitors. I have to move my chair or my neck to look at my third monitor so dont love it. But for the price I am extremely happy and will save for a really nice desk when I move into my house early next year.
black glass corner desk. i was surprised no one listed this desk.

I think this is the same one but cheaper.. also with reviews http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8
Amazon is great for finding computer furniture. I am on my third computer desk and the first two I got from Walmart (bad idea). The third one I got from Amazon and it is already much better. Here is a link. I have found, I like glass+metal desks much better than wood ones. On the desk I linked above, I have 3x 28" montiors, 2x keyboards (one for PC and one for Xbox One) and still have room to eat food or sketch things out on paper if needed.
Walker Edison Soreno. I have the same 1 but with the black glass.http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_-oOetb09X75B8
I got this sexy motherfucker on amazon over a year ago after reading and watching for a few months. Comes in black and clear, and has two leg design (ones all straight and the other is curvy). The keyboard tray didn't fit in very well and is uncomfortable, I just use it for extra storage. This also comes as a single writing desk which is identical to the linked desk with out the side or corner piece. You can also by multiple pieces and link then together. The price bounces between 120 and 150 (I believe it went up when they had low stock)
The glass is completely reflective with a dark tint, you can also get coffee tables or book shelves that look exactly the same
I have this desk. It's great, but the glass can only hold 75 pounds so it might not be right for you.

I needed something for a somewhat tight space and while the placement of my mouse and keyboard is kind of different now than what I am used to, I am definitely enjoying it.
I couldn't help but notice, are you using this desk?
Welcome to the master race.
And a desk that I can recommend.
http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8
A good(but still cheap) L-shaped desk. It's not perfect, but everything's at roughly the same height(some of them have multiple levels), and you'll have plenty of desk space for monitors of both types, controllers/interfaces, and notes. You'll also want other furniture like a comfy desk chair because you'll be in your studio a lot.
I'm currently working with two thrift-store desks, but this desk is looking promising for when I get a few hundred extra dollars to buy more studio stuff(I'm kind of broke right now).
As far as electronics go, an upgrade to your (computer)keyboard and mouse is a good idea so you can make certain assign certain things in your DAW to more convenient places like a thumb button on your mouse.
I did some looking around at old posts for good desks a few days ago and quite a few people seemed to agree on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1BY3EKDM3H4LZ&coliid=I10DCJF4V70NHF&psc=1
Some other decent ideas were people using solid flat sided doors as a desk top and make a frame out of 2x4s or filing cabinets and just set it on top. The doorknob hole is perfect for running wires.

Right now it's $100, just wait it fluctuates frequently. I got mine a week back at $68
I have an L shaped desk with a smaller shelving unit right next to it. The shelving unit has my computer on top and lots of storage for controllers, wacom tablets, and other stuff. The actual desk has my main monitor in front, another monitor in the bend, and a large empty space on the side. I'll end up putting my VR stuff there, including my hotas. So instead of looking at my monitor to play games, I'll be looking at a wall. I won't need to pull anything out or put anything away... it all just stays there.
It's cheaper on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FB5LE8/ref=twister_B00N798OKO
Also this is a great desk if you're into the L shape. I'm loving every second of it!

https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-Soreno-3-Piece-Corner/dp/B001FB5LE8
Its decently small and compact so keep that in mind. Also if you go with the black the glass is still very reflective which I love but some may hate

Basically, I sit in the middle in the corner. It may sounds weird but it works. I put my keyboard slightly over the middle 90degree corner, my mouse to the side, sit in the middle (facing the corner) and have my main monitor on the corner piece, and two monitors on each side angled slightly towards me.
It has a ton of space for extra shit on the sides. My PC goes underneath in the middle, which fits perfectly with room to spare.
been great for about 100$ and two years of working and gaming.
I got this one for Christmas early this year:

I managed to get about... $35 in gift cards from here, then my husband chucked in his christmas giftcard, which was $40. Then I opted for the "Damaged box" but everything is still there, no scratches instead of the pristine never been shipped sewing machine which saved me another $40. When all was said and done, springing for overnight shipping, I got my machine for roughly $224 instead of $330. She works fantastic as well :D All the accessories that came with it to be quilt specific :D
So now I'm saving for a desk for it. It's just a 50 dollar desk, but still saving for it. The TV tray that the sewing machine sits on barely contains my new machine and if I want to use the extension table I have to put it on the floor, take off the pedal and use the stop start button. Little awkward. Be a far sight better than my leg folding card table that's concave and when I sew, the machine rocks.
Also WOOT CAMERA! I may have to help you next paycheck!
Do you want one specifically without a drawer? This is similar, but has a drawer and doesn't overhang the legs. Otherwise, and if you're not so fussed about it being completely black, this desk looks alright. Should be the same dimensions as this desk, but the images look a little different. Your discretion... :P
I use a small flat-pack desk. It's not great but does the job and doesn't take up too much of my one-bedroom apartment. I've also used a drafting table in the past. They're nice because you can usually adjust the height and they've got a lot of surface area. Quality ones are quite expensive though and the surface area actually tends to be larger than you can use ergonomically. You'll end up not able to reach the opposite edge comfortably because they're designed to be used in a vertical or slanted orientation, which you really can't do while working on figures.
If I had space for it, I'd probably invest in an L-shaped computer workstation and adjust the height by adding furniture risers. They're inexpensive and offer plenty of workspace. Spend more on the chair. A quality chair is really valuable if you're going to spend hours sitting.
This looks exactly like my old desk I used a couple semesters ago.

Frail legs. You get what you pay for. It's great for using it as a side table.

This desk. Or any desk, really. I spend 8+ hours a day writing, and it's murdering my posture. I end up hunched over the laptop like some sort of troll.
After that, this chair because I'll need a chair for the desk.
I have this desk which I find to be acceptable. It's large enough to fit my Maschine Studio + Sub 37 on the desktop and keep a mouse/keyboard on the tray below. The elevated shelf is great for a large computer screen and wide enough to fit rack units on either side of the monitor. I used to have my monitors on the shelf but upgraded to larger monitors that I ended up putting on stands.
As I said, the desk is acceptable. The glass top is a pain to clean and there have been times where the metal parts vibrated due to my music (this may have only been when the monitors were on the shelf, I can't remember the last time it happened). It's also on wheels which isn't that much of a problem but it does jiggle a little from time to time. I'm looking forward to getting a new wood desk someday, maybe a Zaor but for now this desk is acceptable enough that I would rather buy more gear.
It's the Z-Line Designs Cyrus Workstation! Just received it the other day and put it together. Took about a half hour. Great desk so far. http://www.amazon.com/Z-Line-Designs-ZL2200-01WSU-Cyrus-Workstation/dp/B004VLW38Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411650447&sr=8-1&keywords=z+line+designs+cyrus
I bought this (Z-Line Designs Cyrus Workstation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VLW38Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1MAJxbGVQH9CK) on Amazon and it works like a charm. Fits my computer, full sized electric piano which I use as a MIDI keyboard, a pretty bulky mixer and even my small monitors. Has a sliding keyboard and mouse holder too! Doesn't cost as much as those "music workstations" but does the job beautifully :) check it out!
Edit: some words and link
Best desk for studio application.

Looks like the Cyrus Workstation with out the monitor stand up top. This
I like the concept, but for roughly the same price, you can get something like this (albeit on sale).
I got this desk for around $150 and, though not a real music production desk, it works for my home situation.
Your idea is very cool, but I'm not sure it's price-competitive.
I was contemplating buying this desk for the same purpose - midi keyboard/audio interface/DAW work/guitar playing etc. Came across some negative reviews on the manufacturer's website and was apprehensive to purchase. Any comments on it's integrity?

Also, I have this desk and wanted to mount the arm to the topmost shelf. Do you guys see any issues with this? I've had a full ATX desktop on the shelf for about 6 months without any issue so weight is not a concern:

Here's the link for the desk, I have the same exact one and I love it! Really good value, only $100 and it was pretty easy to set up.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPRRZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the one I ordered but I wouldn't recommend it. It's way too small for me and my chair and the proportions are odd. The longer part of the L where I wanted to put my monitors and keyboard was far to narrow to the point where my M&KB was practically right on top of my monitors. The other side that OP is using has a good width but the length isn't far enough. I can't push myself in without my leg and chair hitting the shelf. I really wanted an upgrade from the fold up table i've used for years but after buying this I now miss the space I once had and want to go back.
This looks like a sturdy desk at a good price
It's [this desk.] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPRRZ8/ref=oh_details_o02_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) As for the desk itself, it looks pretty good but the build quality leaves something to be desired. Pretty flimsy but probably what you would expect out of a desk in the subpar $100ish range.
It’s the IKEA Linnmon desk with Advil’s legs. You can find it on amazon for around $100! Link
I don't even need legs that fancy. In my mind I was honestly thinking about just staining some 4x4s and using those for legs. This would be perfect, except its $50 to ship it, and I would still need taller legs (31 inches or taller)
If i were to buy that linnamon table top and then buy the legs separately in theory it would technically be more expensive than if i bought this?

dont get your hopes up. mine came with two damaged corners (against the wall) and two of the screw plates that hold the legs were missing. the leg plates weren't a huge issue. ordered two legs from ikea for 19 dollars but it was inconvenient.
Ikea Linnmon Desk with Adils Legs. HERE
I can't give this BenQ monitor a higher recommendation. It's what most pros use and is fantastic for Overwatch. Essentially you want something 24", 144hz, 1ms response time.
For mouse pads, you want a large one. I use the Logitech G640, which would work well with your mouse because in the software for it, you can tune it to other Logitech mousepads, but any large mousepad like from Zowie or SteelSeries is good.
For a desk, you just want to make sure you have enough room for your large mousepad. I have this cheap Ikea desk and it works perfectly for me.
I have the same desk. Also getting a new desk soon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EYU3E7I/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A18D31SE0UW50N give this a look, might suit your needs.

And no it's not wobbly as long as you adjust the legs properly
Amazon prime day for around $50USD!
Figured I'd take a crack at it.

Reasoning for this parts list:
LG 34UC79G- This one was a bit harder to find something I'd approve of. Of course, at 1080p, it's not the highest resolution, but it is capable of displaying up to 144fps. If framerate is less important than resolution, there are other 1440p monitors available closer to 75hz that will do just as nicely, for about the same price.I didn't add in
a case andperipherals because those are highly subjective- at the end of the day, what works for my hands might not for yours. This build leaves about $550 CAD in the budget for a keyboard, mouse, headset, desk and chair- it's not enough for the very best of all of those, but it should make your goal attainable.If you need more budget for the last few periphery items, you can drop down to this 1070 and open up another $250.
If your budget for the desk/chair/keyboard/mouse/headset is significantly less than $550, I would get this Core i7 7700 CPU for $400, over the i5 7500 for $260. You'll dip into your peripheral budget by about $140 but notice better editing power over the i5.
EDIT 2:
I found these for about another $600 more. It'll be tight, but I think this pretty accurately represents what one might spend on these parts.

The desk and chair, I'm not sure about, because I don't know what kind of department stores you have in your area, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a desk and chair for less than $280 to bring the total build into your $2700 budget.
I'm in the same boat as you. Even the Mississippi part actually. Office Depot has desks as well so you could look at those in person. I know we have a good few here. I've been through two of these. They do the job, just don't kick at the back panels like I do or they'll break off lol
A buddy of mine has had this for a couple years now it’s really nice and for a decent price Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk with Bookshelves (Black Ebony Ash) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HRYBYRU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2hDACbK2611AE
I searched on Amazon for L Shaped Desk and found a whole bunch of options. Many under $100. I linked to one I thought was a great price.
How it works is you order the item you like and they will ship it to you and then you put it together yourself using very basic tools. Like a Phillips screw driver and sometimes a hammer.
I also went to Walmart.com and searched L shaped desk and found this one below. Walmart offers free shipping when the item is over $25 so getting from Walmart (or even target.com) will be the best option. Shipping is pretty quick in my experience. The desks I've found so far all look like they will be easy to assemble. Also, most of the results are available in multiple finishes (wood/black etc) so make sure you select the option you want.
Sorry if my links are wacky, I'm on mobile.

im pretty sure this is the exact same thing i bought on amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019R40ZHW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ive had it for almost a year now. the only qualms i have with it basically issues to user error when i put it together. its a solid AF desk. and because of the way its constructed if you have to move it breaks down into 2 smaller desk by removing four bolts. so its good if you are in college and will be moving once you graduate.
The wood is really nice. im sure its MDF but its solid as fuck. no water stains and no swelling since the paint job was solid. i have a triple monitor mount on the back and have ample room for a full keyboard with wrist guard. and i decided to protect the desk and my wrist further with a XXL mouse pad. 12/10 would buy again. not sure why i would have to since its the best.
Edit: 2 things i remembered. 1 the pc carrier for on the floor is a nice touch. its a 15-20 dollar value for similar things on amazon. and the 2nd point is if you plan on storing you computer in the corner under the desk dont put that corner of the desk in the corner of room. there isnt enough room in the joint to pass some larger computer cases through it, like mine for example. otherwise everytime you need to pull out your tower you have to move the desk.

Don't think they make gaming chairs with places for game pads on them because then you'd be prone to tripping over cords or ripping them out of their sockets.
Desks have gamepad mounts/holders though:

Thanks! I do not have an Ikea in my state I believe (Maine).. but I DID do a ton of research and ended up going with this desk that got high reviews and I'm waiting rather impatiently for it to get here.

I know this doesnt help you now but I just ordered and Atlantic gaming desk that's gonna be here on Friday, seems good, has decent reviews. I can post back here when I got it set up if you'd like. I'm not as tall (a little under 6'1) but should give you an ok idea. It does have a little basket kinda deal for stuff if you wanna put it there but everything can be removed and modified to suit what you need

Looks good enough to me. My buddy has similar desk. Don't go for tempered glass nonsense
Hi guys, hoping you could help me with a basic setup. My dad passed recently and left me about 200 vinyl records, mostly from the 70's and 80's. I'd like to listen to them, but I do not have any sort of set up.
I looked at the suggested threads / wiki, and it looks like I'll need a turntable, amp, and speakers. There's a lot more I can get, but for now I'm just happy with a barebones setup so I can listen to some old jams.
I live in USA-MI, and my budget is $200-500. A few caveats:
Anyways, here's what I found:
Questions:
It's just a cheap laminate desk I found on Amazon.
Tribesigns L Shaped Desk
​
Got this desk on amazon. They have it in White. Its awesome!!
​
limited space then this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015R3SU1U/
That would be swell, but no generally we just take space when we can get it. We only have the helpdesk and IT offices for room.
I will say this though - Tribesigns makes some really nice and inexpensive tables that are perfect for this. $100 for a 4 foot by 2 foot table with a steel base and 2 inch thick particle board top. The L-shaped desk is a bit thinner AFAIK.

Also, this is my favorite "value" chair.
https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/dp/B0049UCECE/
Only $200 but it's pretty darn robust not to mention comfortable.
One more note: avoid office supply stores like the plague, especially the chairs. While this seems counter-intuitive, the durability/performance of the chairs compared to price is half what you can get elsewhere, and generally everything is overpriced.

Amazon. It was a little tough to assemble, but it's a nice, solid desk and I love it.

Great corner desk, plenty of room.

Double the price bit double the desk.

I guess that's true, but then how are desks that are sold on the market with a mousepad surface profitable, if they will just be worn out? Like mousepad desk
https://www.amazon.com/Arozzi-Arena-Gaming-Desk-Black/dp/B01K1JW1L0
Looks a lot like this: https://www.amazon.com/Arozzi-Arena-Gaming-Desk-Black/dp/B01K1JW1L0
Arozzi Arena. It assembles like a piece of Ikea furniture, but is quite solid. And the entire surface being a mouse pad is a feature I never knew I needed.

I currently have an older rig with 2 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz processors in it and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti and was wondering what would be the next best thing for running things like PUBG. The biggest deciding factor for me would be price, im just clueless as to what would be better considering the cards that have came out since i got my current GPU several years ago.

I got this one. It’s pretty good.
Tribesigns Desk
I don't have a need for drawers and this is the desk I got. It's sturdy and is a good writing platform. Just be wary of damage during shipping.

There ya go :)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7RWQ8G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not actually wood but otherwise it's a very solid desk.
I recently bought this desk for my wife off of amazon. Very happy with it. Nice metal frame and it is definitely a looker with a tempered glass case sitting on it.
Thank you! It means alot.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N7RWQ8G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i absolutely recomend. The desk if you want a strong no frills desk at good price.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7RWQ8G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bought this over a year ago, and never looked back. Its just a simple, sturdy, affordable desk.
For reference I have 2x 21", 1x27" monitors on a 3 monitor versa stand in the center (They go over the edges about 5"-6"). Above the center 27" monitor is a 32" TV on a separate single tall style versa mount.
yeah i just wanted to ask because i heard so many bad reviews about it. im also planning on getting this table https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N7RWQ8G/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1526913602&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tribesigns&th=1&psc=1

Would this be better? Not very good at hiding cables obviously but it is pretty cheap
If you don't mind putting one together yourself I recommend this one. Took me about 40 min with just a multi tool. I have a 27" and a 24" vesa mounted on the small side and a 55" TV on the big side and i couldn't be happier with it.

I'm actually about to purchase this desk from amazon which has one of those little things too :D
Tribesigns Modern L-Shaped Desk
Surprised to get this with free shipping and no tax.
Won't win any quality awards but for the price hard to beat. Comes in light brown or black. Looks to be almost identical to the Tribesigns desk at Amazon going for $135.99 + tax.
Has anyone ever had to shop for a 20" deep/wide desk? I'm trying to find one that's about 50-54" long, but it's next to impossible to find one at that length that's not 24" deep or more; I'd like to find one that's basic and black, too, which compounds the issue even further.
Something that's akin to this that wasn't 23.6" deep would hit the spot, so I'm hoping someone here might've had to buy a desk of that size, themselves, and can point me towards a good place to find them. I feel like I've spent hours upon hours over the last month trying to find something! I'd be nice if more sites had an easier way to filter results.

Pretty cheap compared to a lot of similar desks on Amazon, and I'm liking the look and the build quality. Feels really sturdy, and took about 20 minutes to assemble.
idk if youll like it or if its too cheap for you, but this desk is very strong and sturdy and I love it. and without spending more than $https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVQJSCL/ref=twister_B01MS7I12C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I got this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XVQJSCL/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
Inexpensive, good amount of space, easy to put together, simple aesthetic.
thought about the butcherblock.. but stuff like that doesn't come treated. I didn't have the time/space to do all that. I wasn't confident that the ikea top was going to support my tower to well. I noticed my, then, glass desk had a tiny bow in it.. so I was eager to find a replacement.
I bought a Tribesigns desk.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XVQJSCL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It felt silly to buy a piece of wood sturdy enough to hold a computer, cut it, stain it, wax or otherwise protect it for more than buying this desk. The frame is metal The top is covered in a vinyl but is like a sturdy hybrid/mesh concoction. The sides can scrape easily if you're not careful.
It fit perfectly into the 57"ish space I had.

years ago, a roommate and I just installed a kitchen countertop formica.. a 18' long one. Was a little tacky, but it worked and best of all, it was cheap.
It’s this desk
If you need to move your computer frequently, but want to game, that's what gaming laptop are good at.
If you want to keep someone from casually walking off with it you lock it to something with a kensington cable.
You can buy regular desks that fold flat:
https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Computer-Industrial-Folding-Notebook/dp/B06XZV3F8F
Though even with this, with shipping costs, might be easiest to simply order a new desk at your destination and throw out (I mean donate) the previous one.
Just some ideas to pass by.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06XZV3F8F/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_wZxQCbFDM43WZ
I bought this.
Not the most spacious but partly my fault for having two TVs on it. Again, better than the two folding tables I was using before.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XZV3F8F?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
I just ordered this and it should be arriving tomorrow. I also don't have alot of space in my room so I really like how it can fold up against the wall when not in use. maybe you guys can give it a look?
Amazon! This is the table.

I have this desk. I don't use four monitors, just one, but it may be large enough and has a designated place for the keyboard.

That one is a charm.
Pretty much had the same journey as you.
From a glass setup: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB5LE8
To a wooden Ikea desk: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69006392/#/S29006394
The glass desk just got dusty way too easily and was a bit too cramped for my 2 x 27" monitors to enjoy. Not to mention I had to rest a towel or similar on it if I wished to enjoy a hot beverage or breakfast. Too much hassle.
You could always pick up a Parsons Desk from Amazon and keep it clean
