Buying a computer desk
I'm looking to buy a computer desk for my room to work on at home.

Something like that maybe, but unfortunately they do not ship to Northern Ireland. I really just want a basic desk that is big enough to work on and hold a monitor, with a desktop underneath comfortably.
Thanks. Every where I've checked includes all of these different compartments that pull out etc, I'm just looking a desk.

Seen this on Office Monster.

Actually looks perfect, not sure how genuine they are though?
Can't vouch for them directly, but only going since last Dec, one director also owns/runs Cartridge Monster reg. at same address and has run a failed office supply company previously.
Staples also had a few.
With a desk, it is important to get one deep enough so you can sit comfortably with your arms rested on the desk, and your nose not pinned up against the monitor.
This is the desk & legs: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S39932623/
We bought a shelf and then fitted it with legs to give a monitor riser.

Loads of room underneath for hard drives etc, the HP printer we have slides nicely backwards underneath if we need extra desk space. Looks really well put together and was easy to do - with a Kallax bookshelf and the desk it took half a day to put together.
Do you mean they won't deliver if you order online? I've been in ikea loads recently and they have signs up saying they will deliver but obviously you have to pay for it. There were signs in the upstairs part and then downstairs near the tills.
Or you could write them a ladder.
Otherwise I'd suggest perhaps trying some second hand shops as I often see what look like modern office desks in great condition (I think they are sometimes even brand new, from a company closing down or whatever). If you know of any businesses near you you might want to check if they hold old/unwanted stock (my work does this, I got my office chair for free for example). I appreciate these options may not include delivery.
Otherwise you could try Gumtree or similar?
This made me smile
