A popular desk amongst many technical people I know for many years was IKEA's "JERKER" desk. It was well-known to be extremely sturdy -- able to hold very large CRT screens -- and relatively inexpensive in most countries.

There were a couple models, but they now seem to have been discontinued.

Lately I've seen more people buying the "GALANT" as a replacement, which is a similar series of desks from IKEA, except with far more configuration options. These desks are not as industrially-weight-bearing, but I guess not as many people are sporting CRTs anymore :)

A floor rep at IKEA shared with me their method for putting desks together when the components don't actually screw together. For example, with a top placed on trestles; the trestle top has holes that align with a pin screwed into the underside of the top, but it's not very secure.

Industrial strength Velcro. It holds the top in place quite well, yet makes it very easy and quick to tear the desk down. With self adhesive backing, you place a strip of the "nap" on one piece and a strip of the "hooks" on the other piece, and Bob's your uncle.
