Good desk?

[Percenary]

I'm really interested in upgrading my desk so everything can be much more clean. Any good suggestions that aren't crazy expensive? This is my current setup (upgrading the left monitor to a 27) Need space for all of it and a little left over would be nice.

If you've got the space and time, DIY is always the way to go.

 

Get exactly what you want for the area you have

Linus has a DIY computer desk on YouTube. Also, Paul's hardware and jayztwocents bought wood counter tops and screwed some legs into the bottom. Looks really good too

Would it be cheaper than buying one already made?

Depends on what material you want and how much access you have to tools and such

Still working on my DIY desk, but I got a piece of of a corner countertop (pretty basic, MDF/laminate top) for free. I'm going to Plastidip the surface as it's pretty beatup as is. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do the legs/support for it, but I know I don't want to bash my knees on stuff. Check craigslist and local yard sales. If you want something more 'professional' and without the DIY, a lot of businesses sell off old office desks and such for pretty cheap.

I didn't think it would be this difficult to find an inexpensive desk tbh

I know, just referencing your DIY post for OP.

TBH, buying one for cheap, you get what you pay for. I got a glass/metal corner desk from Staples or something like that for $100 at the most. It's held up fine over the years, but it's not as big as I'd like and there's no room for drawers or any storage under the desk surface. So for storage of stuff, it's rather useless.
