I would like a desk recommendation.
I have a old fiber board knock down half pedestal desk. I like that style just not the fiberboard construction
It is 60 in long and 30 in wide but has two worthless to me file drawers and 2 low profile drawers
and when I tried to move it I broke a drawer support it is limping to the scrap pile
I ask the local cabinet shop for a quote grab your wallet $3,290.00
OK here is a desk I like but I have never heard of this company AFA Stores. Any one purchased from AFA?
I know Martin Furniture they are in the San Diego, CA area
Martin Furniture - Heritage Half Pedestal Executive Desk, Brown - IMHE660[^]
The size and price are OK but once more two File Cabinet Drawers
What are others here using ? Thought about a sit stand and just build two cabinets with 3 drawers.
The biggest GOAL is be able to move the desk away from the wall so I can vacuum behind it.
I was going to build said desk but facing reality I realize I can cut all the parts
BUT I have no one to help assemble said monster and at 77 years of age wrestling
4' X 8' 3/4 " Baltic Birch Plywood just does not seem doable.
Please NO pity party facing old age and reality is just not fun period

I have an ikea table top on 4 posts. (120cm x 80cm )
It has the perfect height for me, deep enough to be able to place the monitor relatively far and enough space for a paper pad and keyboard in front of me.
I have 2 small gallant ikea cupboards.
It just works.
I'll probably switch for a longer (160cm) table top to properly fit a laptop and it's own monitor.

Yes ... and I don't feel so bad if I have to saw an Ikea table top to make it "just right". (Put the cut edge against the wall)

Have you considered flat pack? IKEA, etc?
You can often do a mix'n'match with pedestals of drawers in various sizes, cupboards etc.
I recently moved my office to another room. 20 years accumulation of STUFF(tm).
Under a lot of it was an old IKEA (I think) desk 72 x 36, timber top, steel frame, one pedestal 3 drawers of different sizes.
In the dim distant past (as in the days of clamshell desktop computers) I built a shelf across the back. 9 x 1 timber, 9" high.
Monitors etc sit up there, along with other "quick grab" things.
Speakers, power strips etc fit neatly under it.

I still use an Ikea Jerker mk1 (with the slide out extensions) although I've replaced the original base with a sit-stand frame; it also has 2 triple screen mounts positioned one above the other - 6 monitors in a 3x2 layout - so I've removed the top shelf. I had to check the weight of the desktop, main shelf, mounts, monitors, etc was within the limits of the frame motors.
Basically, it's the same desk I bought nearly 30 years ago except it's now height adjustable!
Unfortunately, Ikea replaced it with the inferior Jerker mk2 (with curved edge and no slide out sections) and then stopped making it in about 2005, but you might be able to get one second hand. The metal construction of the frame means it's pretty much indestructible.

At the beginning of the "work from home" period a few years back, I replaced an old desk with an IKEA desk [ IDΓ
SEN , Desk, black/dark gray, 63x31 1/2 " ]. Wide enough to have two sets of keyboard/mouse/monitor side-by-side. No drawers -- I was sick of banging my knees on them.

At work I have something like this[^] (similar but not this one)
It can be moved vertically and has 3 memory positions.
The drawers are a separated container with wheels, so you can put it in the side you want (either 4 standard drawers or 2 drawers and 1 folder register)
At home I have 3 massive desks. 2 are 180x75 and the other is 150x60 (and a bit lower so you can fix it to the right side of the big one that only has drawers on one side, the other has drawers on both sides). I want to make an "U" with all three, filling the corner with a wood board.

Tired of over-priced pressboard crap falling apart, I bought a beautiful massive solid oak mid fifties executive desk from FB Marketplace for $80. Screwed a couple harbor freight moving dollies to the bottom (out of sight), one on each side, so the legs sit 2cm off the floor for easy moving -- very stable, very comfortable, lots of leg room, has a factory foot rest bar, and pull out writing surfaces on each side, and plenty of drawers. It will easily outlast me. IMNSHO Life is too short to tolerate pressboard. Consider buying an antique. Good luck in your search. ~jm

I move around a lot, so I tend to get cheaper furniture that can be easily be replaced... which means (as others have suggested) I also have an IKEA desk. You can get a BEKANT corner desk for like $400. Here's the thing though, everyone knows IKEA is cheaply made. Supposedly IKEA uses scrap wood that would otherwise be wasted though, which is cool. So, yay planet... but your desk is flimsy.
If you're looking for a sturdy desk, either don't go to IKEA or you can get some extra metal legs to make the desk more sturdy. If you have a larger monitor and several computers on your desk, those extra legs are nice to have. The desk wobbles much less with them.
Oh, and IKEA's website says that desk is sturdy. They're lying.

I have a shelf on top of the short side that contains my laptop, printer, and office supplies. My keyboard and monitor sit beneath the shelf. The long leg is work surface, and provides a hiding place underneath for my scaredy-greyhound when it storms.
Funny thing is, the desk is in two pieces that weren't originally from the same set of furniture, but they have the same faux-cherry finish. I purchased them from a used office furniture outlet for about $200, bolted them together, and they've worked remarkably well for 20 years.

My familyβs formula for highly portable college desks:
Two two-drawer file cabinets, place a door from hardware store across the top. Bonus: stain or paint the door. The door knob hole works great for cords!

Are we doing first lines from stories? Here's mine:

Kind of describes my software dev life, too.
