Computer Desk, Chair recommendations

I wanted a solid desk that is large and deep for several monitors.

I purchased two sets of table legs from ikea that are great.

You can buy the strong metal frame and metal legs without the table top. The legs are adjustable, very strong, and take up little space.

I purchased two solid wood door blanks from HomeDepot and cut them to the correct size.

I painted/sanded the doors and put everything together in just a few hours. I considered going with more expensive door blanks and staining the wood, but just got good solid wood and painted it. Go with the solid 'exterior doors' and not the hollow core doors....

Better (heavier/solid) than anything else I have seen for several times the cost.

Money was not as much of an issue as getting something 'just the way I wanted it'.

Just another view....

Good luck,
 
I bought these two modular items (Bush Westfield Collection) from Staples and have 6-10 year warranty

Lateral file cabinet for $299:

Both come in many colors and it makes for a nice large work area. I added a keyboard drawer and mini-fridge for under the desk. (Personally dont like my desk to face a wall and this one hides everything under it for a clean look)

As for chairs....I just kept sitting in display models til I found one that fits. Never sat in one of those $1000 dollar chairs and I'm afraid to buy one without doing so.
