I used the door + two filing cabinets system for years. I've since found the next best thing, which is the Malskytt solid birch table top on top of their $15 solid pine trestles. It's a visual upgrade. I have two, giving me ~ 9ft of solid wood workspace for ~ $200. I've also made my own custom desks but I got obsessive about them and built every feature known to man into them. The only thing I've done with these is drilled grommets for the cables. In reality all I need is a solid workspace that will last. |

1. Bought two long butcher block countertops from Home Depot. Stained and sealed them myself.
2. Bought some IKEA bookcases and desk legs.
Finishing the wood was a lot of work. I ended up doing about six coats on each piece. But for a very good price, I know have an enormous 8'x8' L-shaped desk that looks gorgeous. I wish it was a little deeper since countertops aren't quite as deep as most desks (24" versus 30"), but it's mostly fine.
