Question Cheap Office Desk: Where From?

Hi all, I'm looking for a cheap desk for an office. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for - Buy Oak Finish Taylor Desk. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

The one in the link is perfect, but is out of stock. Some of the ones that are in stock are going to take 14 days for delivery, so god knows how long that one would take.

I'm looking for drawers on the right hand side because of where it's going. Any suggestions for other websites/places to try?


Cheers

Most cities have used office furniture dealers. You can usually find the right quality/condition/style/price compromise.

Plenty of bargain 2nd hand stuff if you look around. Try local papers. Friday ad.

Or Viking but not top quality. Staples on line is where I get my office stuff from. You can get drawer units to fit under or next to a desk top. dl

Or a second-hand place. Usually better quality at less cost.

Got mine from ikea for £92 a while ago. It has a draw and a cupboard and can go on left or right. Mines oak too (Not real, its veneer)

Nice solid desk though. Heres mine:

I've got this one going for free to a good home....



+1 to Office Surplus places. I got a fantastic replacement desk for £75 - solid 1600 x 800 mm (I think, huge thing though) and delivered free as my place was on the way to another drop

That's exactly what I'm after... something simple. Cheers. Having a look on the Ikea site now.

I buy all my office furniture from these guys.

Office Supplies, Stationery - UK Office Direct online stationers

Great service, I find the prices to be reasonable, and it's good quality stuff.
