What do you recommend for a large (7 foot+ length) desk?

Just curious what to do for a large desk. I'd like 7 feet long, with at least 30" depth.

 

Wife and I just bought a house, and I finally have my own cave! It's a 20x14 room, and I want a nice long desk that doesn't look like a picnic table. ...I may or may not currently be using a picnic table. Don't judge.

 

I've been told to look for a Galant/Bekant system, but I'd rather have a single seamless surface. Plus, the Bekant isn't nearly what the Galant was, since I dislike rounded corners.

 

What do you use/recommend?

here's an idea

I'd say a bit of cut to size wood from a hardware store (Home Depot/B&Q type thing) and some desk legs from IKEA. May want to coat/paint the wood to protect it.

I actually like that enough, but I worry about sag in the middle. Also it's a bit shallow at less than 26". I've actually considered picking up a solid top from a kitchen table and then attaching some of the Bekant sit/stand legs on it with some bracing underneath to prevent sag. Not sure what the weight capacity on the sit/stand legs are, though.
