So about a year ago I broke my desk and have been playing on some temporary thing and i’m looking for a new one. I have a huge room so i’m just looking for something that will is nice and open. Any recommendations would be nice.

 

I don't think you'll be living in the same room all your life, but I would get a custom built desk or build it myself. Most prebuilt stuff is cheep.

This is what I have I think its the perfect size the link I sent is where you can get it. The desk itself can be raised and lowered with a tool that comes with it. you can also purchase the same desk with a motorized lift if you prefer to do that, however, its a bit more expensive last time I checked.

@Tricks Honestly just build your own its the best thing I ever did I drew up some plans then went to home depot bought some wood and an orbital sander, cut the wood and sanded it and it was fucking perfect big L shaped desk in the corner of the computer room it was easy took me like 4 hours. 

When I finished I thought it needed some more pizazz so I added a Red Oak Stain on it cost me in total about 100$ 

Below is some of the shit I bought and just FYI that quart of stain goes a long way I got my whole desk done with about 50% of the can used

I grabbed my parents old dinner table, gave it a good scrub made it clean drilled a hole for the cables and it serves me perfectly. Took me like 2 hours to got rid of all the splinters and make it nice and smooth but didn't pay a single euro. 

Also if ur gonna make a hole for the cables don't do what I did. I ended up putting my pc on the right while having the hole on the left. 

At least it serves as a pencil cup now

I wish I knew what kind of desk I have its a giant mahogony desk that is made for two people. It separates each side of a desk by a T shape that comes out in the middle to divide them. I have my monitors and PC set up in front of me with my work laptop on my side (The middle part).

 

I swear I got it from Jordans a few years ago for maybe like 3 grand
