It's finally time to replace my old Ikea desk with something that isn't particle board garbage, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement. All I want is a large, flat surface, no bigger than 30" x 60". I had been thinking of building my own desk but I bought a house and I've got side projects coming out my ears already.

The Herman Miller Envelop looks interesting but it's expensive and I don't think it's wide enough (at 45") to comfortably support 2x 24" monitors on arms and still have enough space for desk speakers and the other occasional thing (like a cup of coffee).

I've been looking at small dining room tables and stuff from local stores since they seem to be the closest thing to what I want but a big slab of stained sealed maple with simple metal legs are generally in the $1500 - $2000 ballpark which is a bit much.

Are there any mass produced computer desks that aren't trash?

Ikea sells solid wood furniture too. I don't know if you want to avoid Ikea or avoid particleboard, but if you just want to avoid particleboard, the below link is for an Ikea desk, with dimensions of a little under 30" x 60" and made from solid beechwood, for a little over $200.
