I did a similar DIY solution:

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.
