Good desk at an affordable price?

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but right now I am using one of those standard white utility tables and I love it but hate it. I am really picky about things being linear and aligned and utility tables are horrid for someone like me. I love all the space and the affordability of it but I hate the concept and build quality. Right now I have 2 24 inch monitors and a small speaker setup on my desk and I need an affordable desk to fit that criteria. I have no idea where to look so I figured I would ask here. Thank you in advance. :)

Any way to get around the $350 delivery? I found a desk that I love, thanks for the recommendation but I can't afford that delivery.

go to ikea?

hey this is a good idea..

 

kind of hard to look for something that is water-resistant (our area gets flooded from time to time).so it has to be plastic or aluminum and no to wooden desks..

Holy shit.... that's like.... The greatest idea ever.

 

I'm not going to lie. I like the idea of a glass tabletop as far as aesthetics go. What I don't like is the idea of that one off rage incident that results in $1000 worth of damage

Don't have the tools to build a desk. I could pay Bunnings to cut everything for me, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well buy the tools.

 

Honestly I think I'm going to do a solid wood tabletop with a glass piece over the top. My housemate got a table like that recently and it looks amazingly good

Poland and Ikea are in the same thread, I'll just leave this Dethklok scene here.

 

Even so that's nice, I'd prefer a few draws/hidey-holes on mine so I'll probably get draws/shelves and things to go along with mine
