I've been using a cheap computer desk from Argos for the last 2 years, it only cost me about £40 when I bought it but it looks really shabby now so I've been looking for something better.. Our living room furniture is quite chunky and I'm looking for a solid wood desk or very hight quality flatpacked desk, something like this;

I have a maximum of about £350 to spend, would prefer to spend around £200, don't know who to buy off or what to get.
Can anyone recommend a supplier / desk (uk).
Cheers.
have a dig around at a local antiques places.. you might be shocked what turns up!
^ True! :inspired:
I recently nabbed a couple of great books from such places and there was lots of amazingly solid furniture going for nothing! The old stuff puts most modern furniture to shame, the price is but a hernia! ;)

I went and had a look around the YMCA shop, there was some pretty good stuff in there and I ended up donating an old table to them which I was going to throw away so it was a good idea.. Unfortunately they didn't have any solid wood desks but I'd definitely check them out again if I was looking to buy some furniture.
