Originally posted by WTFH View PostThis is one I made from an oak door and some legs from THE IRON MILL
Took a couple of weekends to do, all that I used was a screwdriver, a circular saw, a sander and some sash clamps. Took the door apart to get rid of the gaps between the planks, then put it back together, sanded it down, cut it to the angle of the wall (about 75deg), then applied varnish. Attached the legs and put a cable tray hanging under the back. Total cost around £80.

My wife works in an auctioneers. They get loads of old antique desks in that are 100 or 200 years old that go for virtually nothing before the dealers mark them up by 300%. If they will match your decor a local auction house might be worth a look for something different.

They will also do bespoke if needed.

I've just returned a corner desk from Furniture Village, apart from being cheap on inspection it was damaged. It's from Germany and I keep saying this but their manufacturing is overrated.
Anyway, I'm after a quality corner desk, don't mind paying for quality but it's for the misses so don't want to go overboard. Anyone, had any good experiences of buying quality furniture/home office stuff and could recommend somewhere?
Buy British: Steel Vintage | Industrial Furniture | Handmade in England
Vastly superior.

You could try an office reclaim warehouse. Often very good quality exec desks in there. I have a nice Cherry one I paid peanuts for.
