Caris Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 As the title says, I'm after a new computer desk and i don't really want to go to Argos/Ikea as everything they sell is cheap and nasty. The only other place i can think of is Staples. Does anyone else know some good places to order a desk from?
The fish Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 It could be worth giving the classified ad's in the back of your local paper a look, they're good for things like that. On a more retail-based level, Staples or even PC World? One near me sells a few good quality desks.
nightwolf Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Exactly argos is always good for these things! I plan to get ahold of a nice one from argos myself.
Bren Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 ikea is argos but cheaper, go there you stuck up twat.
Pookiablo Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 ikea is argos but cheaper, go there you stuck up twat. Bahaha, that bit at the end made me LOL big time for some reason!
Raining_again Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 I had so much problem finding a desk, because I wanted a bigger than normal one, so I ended up getting wood and making one! Ikea has a nice range, argos is good for a basic computer desk.
MoogleViper Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 ikea is argos but cheaper, go there you stuck up twat. I find Argos to be cheaper.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Argos furniture is poor quality. Ikea is better but still not great. You're better finding a small independent furniture shop, or getting an old desk and restoring it. Bespoke would be the best, but very expensive.
Jon Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Try John Lewis, you could probably get a reduced one which isn't even damaged.
Platty Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Got mine from B&Q. Its a corner desk and sits nicely in the corner of my room with storage underneath. Can't remember the price as it was about 3 years ago but its a good desk but I guess it's similar to the ones you find in Argos and Ikea. But then I don't think they are cheap and nasty like you :p
Strider Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 My desk's from Argos and it is pretty crap quality, it does it's job fairly well, but it just looks cheap. The only reason i bought it from Argos was that my room has a dodgy area and that's the only desk that would fit... a very tight fit at that.

At least someone agrees with me I didn't know B&Q did desks, I'll give them a try.
