I,m planning a new build but i need a new desk to put it on, at least 140cm width and 80cm depth. I have searched all over the internet and cant find anything which is dark wood/ black. In the UK, not looking to by from eBay or other second hand/ non retail sites. Anyone got any advice of where i should be looking?

thanks  :)

I've been looking for a desk like that too. Here is one from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10251352/), but its only 75cm deep. They do it in a few colours though.

My desk is from Ikea, its 150 cm wide and 75 cm and its black.  

 

This is the top  http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80251481/

 

all you need to do is pick the legs you like for it. 

What legs did you chose for it?

I'm looking to get this desk in Grey with 2 of the Trestles they do (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00225293/#/80150095) Plus Ikeas Markus Chair fits perfectly between the trestle legs.

wow im stupid, i forgot to llok at Ikea :P, anyhow thanks much appreciated, what legs did you choose btw?  

If you need shelf space, get the trestles with the shelves. If you want a 'custom' height get the adjustable ones. Otherwise I'd just get the nicest looking ones for your budget. The U shaped ones look really nice

good to hear it can hold the weight, you didn't happen to get a chair from Ikea as well did you?
