    On the lookout for a new desk at the moment. I came across this. Have they been on offer before and if so, has anyone bought one?

    It's ideal for me as it would hold speakers to left and right of the screen and then a printer and projector above it. I'm worried about the build quality though.

    Those pull out drawers are a feckin' disaster IMO. I spend 8-12 hours a day in front of a computer and that desk looks like a horrible ergnomomic nightmare to me.

    Oh ye, forgot to say that. I'm taking that off. I have done it on any desks that have come with it before, they really irritate me as well.

    UNfortunately the one you have is too big. :( Need something more compact.

    I picked mine up in atlantic homecare. Have a drive out, even check woodies and b&q. Even pcworld sometimes have half decent ones. The one you linked i always find to small, as decent keyboards are usually a fair bit bigger. Cant use a keyboard and mouse on a different level either.

    If this is not allowed then sorry in advance.

    I am selling a conputer desk. Its compact but heavy and robust. Been using it now for 8 odd years and selling due to house move. It is very solid.

    That's the exact same desk that Costcutter had for €55 or so a few years ago (no chair).

    I still have mine and I think it's a great desk. It'll be hard to get a comparable quality desk for the same price IMO.
