Need to get a desk for dc room that will house a gaming laptop, do the usual teen stuff on it etc. I don’t want to spend a crazy amount in case he ruins it but at the same time I don’t want some cheap crap that I will need to replace next year? A few that I have seen that look ok are all sold out online. Any recommendations?

I’ve always bought desks on eBay, got some beautiful ones.

I bought this to use as a work desk... works really well.

You could paint it to match his decor.

We've got 3 of the Ikea bamboo desks in this house. They are lovely looking pieces of furniture, couldn't be happier with them.

I bought this one from Argos well over a year ago but they are still selling it.

It is sturdy but I wouldn't recommend you drag it around to much.
It has plenty of storage space , I added a hard board back to the shelves to stop me from pushing stuff of the back of them.

Thanks all. IKEA is a bit of a trek to look at them from me so I hadn’t looked on their website but will do. Is IKEA open? I’d also have problems if I got something heavy as I’m a LP and dc not much help...

I would prefer one with a bit of storage as there isn’t much in his room but I need to speak to him (he is autistic) about whacking his legs on the desk legs/storage bit as I know he will swing on the chair. (He wants a swivel chair)

@extentioncord yes that’s the kind of thing he wants, I think they are so ugly!! But the gaming ones don’t have much space on the actual desk so he couldn’t use it for his hobbies as well.

It looks much better in place than it does in the pic! It houses everything and is really sturdy. DN has his whole room decorated too. They went for white walls with black/red drawers and red curtains/duvet sets to balance the darkness of the desk

I got two of my dc solid wood desks from wayfair. Reasonable price and quick delivery however this was just before the pandemic.

I have the Micke desk from IKEA. It’s cheap and sturdy and good two screens
