So I'm using a table as my desk right now and it's well not optimal. I love the length at 70 inches but the height isn't great and the surface is very worn. 

These are 2 I've been considering http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49022798/

I've got 2 JBL 5" studio monitors which due to the height of my LG ultra wide and my 27" monitor to the left of it have to lay on their sides. 

I want to be able to stand my studio monitors upright because I bought $80 isolation pads for them with only work if I stand them upright. 

Thoughts? Suggestions? My LG Ultra wide is 34" and the other one is 27" 16:9

Myself I was looking for something that was affordable and had lots of space so I went and purchased 3 of the large sections of this desk https://www.jysk.ca/furniture/home-office-furniture/desks/zealand-corner-desk-set.html

Also I have this desk as well witch is great! Fits multiple monitors and is 71" in length with iron legs and two drawers.. This is very solid and will not break the bank.

If you do have a ikea around you that would be a great place to look. I do not yet it's being built. I put a couple pictures down.. Hope it helps

sorry, should have mentioned a few things. I HATE glass, also I know $299 seems like only a little more than $269 BUT I only was considering the Skarsta because it was sit/stand. If it were any more than that then it'd be a no. I could spend more than $250 IF I didn't have a $900 credit card balance. :/ 

I'm planning on going to IKEA because I want it on my birthday which is friday also this table BLOWS
