I'm looking for a computer desk/table or workstation, preferably some kind of corner desk, reasonably priced (< £150), not from Argos, Index, MFI or PC World, I also don't have an Ikea locally (unfortunately). Can anyone recommend anywhere I could get one from?

I am extremely picky about this sort of thing.. the only one I found that I liked was an Ikea one, sorry. :( (was less than £80 too)

you could get someone to buy it for you and get it couriered over.. shouldn't be too pricey if your budget is around £150

I hate the desks with a seperate keyboard section that slides out. Difficult finding one without these days.

Just spent nearly an hour trying to get through to their customer services dept. You ring, wait, wait, wait some more, finally get through to be told you've rung the wrong department and they give you an 0800 number, you tell the woman that was the number you rang, she say's sorry and hangs up ...

Their CS is currently ****e. They relocated to a bigger warehouse and did not check it was working properly before they switched over. Since then it has all gone tits up.
If they are showing something in stock on line, then it is, that part of the system is now working, if you order, it will be delivered as promised, that is also working, but the mess of a backlog is such that CS is overrun.
I've got a £25 apology voucher that I need to go spend in one of thier stores.

Is there an office world near where you are? That's about the only other place I can think of. Not sure how expensive they are there tho.

I obtained my office desks from where i used to work when they were throwing them all out...
