That's $37 usd to ship some desks and legs, not too shabby. I would pay it

I mean considering the desk is like $35 for tabletop and legs...paying $30 for shipping isn't that bad.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

This is amazing. I wanted a desk so bad I was looking at updesk (even though it's expensive af and the standing isn't appealing) and considered saving for there pricey desks. But this thread singlehandedly (well theoretically will) save me a lot of money c:

I had looked at this at least a month ago assuming I'd pursue this; today, I bought another gaming PC to add to my battle station here, so I threw some pieces onto my shopping cart and went to check out.

 

 

Oooo-eeee; $349 on shipping for a single top, two legs, and a cabinet.

 

I am in Montana and the nearest IKEA is Denver; hehehe...

 

was worth a shot :P

 

Tomorrow I'll be going on and about looking for building supplies; perhaps. 

 

:-)

 

 

 

after seeing this, I went to Walmart and got the REAL easy option for a desk.

 

$31 6-foot folding picnic table.
