My desk at work. It's a goddamn mess, but at least I have a framed picture of Darth Vader.


Holy poo poo, I'm stealing this idea. At my work we have workstations that anyone who's scheduled can use, no assigned desks, so it will be even weirder.

So we're currently stuck living in a studio apartment (we = my wife and I), but that doesn't stop me from cramming as much poo poo into/onto my desk as possible.

I just rigged up the 3rd monitor today (it's the one with a frame. I framed it planning on using it as a digital picture frame and mp3 server running media center, but we ended up using that computer to watch tv shows on the hdtv). The little thing with the clock on it is my Fujitsu tablet on an Ergotron notebook desk mount. The 20" and the non-framed 17" are on an Ergotron dual LCD desk mount.

The framed 17" is just kickin' it on the shelf, and I mostly use it to display slideshows, show Flickrvision fullscreen, or display rss feeds and stuff. I'm planning on getting one of these to stick it to the wall over there. That way it can sit up against the wall like a hanging picture, but when I need it I can pull it over and angle it down.

What kind of desk is that? I really like boxy desks and yours doesn't have wood hanging off the top like the other ones posted here.

It's a MIKAEL from a couple years ago. I don't know if they're like this anymore. It has a vertical bit that goes with it (with shelves and brackets and poo poo), but I just didn't buy it. For a particle board Ikea desk, it's lasted a good long time and held up brilliantly.

Edit: Here it is! http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10111489

Oh man, the black-brown is gorgeous. This is EXACTLY the kind of desk I was looking for, thank you so so much! I'm glad to hear it holds up well, I've heard bad things about Ikea. :(

It's far from a work bench, and I'd personally be wary of standing on it, but I've had it for a few years now and there's just minor wear and tear.

I've even disassembled and reassembled it a couple times.

Some of you guys have really small/cramped desks. I'm currently moving into a new apartment and figured to get a nice and larger desk. After scanning the thread, I kind of feel now like I went a little overboard with buying this monster. (Wow, I just came back from Ikea and bought exactly the same paper tray and bin, without having actually looked at this product picture before. What a coincidence.)

See my post above, I don't really have a small desk, but I would still kill to have the space for that desk you just bought.

does anybody have anything that doesn't suck? I'm moving w/ (some) budget, need something professional looking with 2-3 places to sit, hanging displays, etc. Some of the posts are nice setups for a single PC or two, but I work from home and need something a little more high-end. If you post a pic, please include the name of the furniture components and if you remember, what you paid.

I hope you're either really freaking tall or just tilted your monitor up for effect, because otherwise you're weird.
