What desk would you recommend

[MrDexter]

So I am going to be upgrading my whole set up and have planned the majority of it already. The last bit I need to do is get a new desk to fit in with everything.

 

The new desk will need to fit 3x27" Asus PG279Q. They will be on a triple monitor stand to make it look a little neater. (Not sure what stand yet been looking at Ergotech Triple Desk Stand).

 

I was looking at the Ikea Linnmon desk but I have 2 issues with it. 1. It needed 1 leg in the centre of the desk reducing room under the desk. 2. It is known to 'sag' when using monitor stands.

 

I will attach a small Diagram of my room and where the desk will be going. 

 

• The left top corner is where the desk will be going, from the door to the top wall I have about 200-210cm clearance. then from the left wall to the bed there is about 150-160cm clearance.
• I would like to have a set of drawers next to the bed and a set of drawers next to the door (Either end of the desk).
• The 3 monitors will go on the left wall on the straight part of the desk.
• The Colour needs to be black to fit in with my black and red Setup.

 

What Desk would you recommend for this setup? The only reason I have not made a secure choice on the Linnmon is because I am not sure if it will be strong enough and I don't really want a leg in the middle of the centre

I personally recommend building your own desk. It's not that hard and it's honestly really cheap compared to what you can buy on the market.

you could get about 2 or 3 of these table tops and connect them together

I bought a kitchen countertop from ikea for 40 euro's. It's should be able to hold the 3 monitors. 

The name of the product is;

SÄLJAN

Countertop, white

On my opinion, don't go for the linnmon if you have 3 monitos D:

The only 'obstacle' is that you have to drill holes for the desk legs.

 

And, do you want a straight desk or a curved one?

I'd prefer to have a straight one so will probably result in a table on a table. 

 

EDIT: So the desk would be like this (The Left and rear desk)

I also had trouble finding a desk that meet my needs. After looking for months I gave up and just built my own. I used galvanized steel pipes from the local hardware store for the lower structure, and wood for the table top that I later painted and sealed. I can provide pictures if you want.

Forgot to attach the diagram of room sorry.

[MrDexter]

It is a shame they don't do an all black worktop, They have the black with mineral effect and the black and white but not a straight up black.

 

I think I might get for the black/white but the white won't match anything.

Then get 2 Alex drawers (Black) and some table legs (4-6)

 

Should I put a table leg at the middle rear of each table?

i bought a kitchen worktop from IKEA and two cupboards of matching colour to sit it on top of, you can cut it to size, and costs buttons, about £60 all in.
