Hi HN,<p>I just moved into a new house and I'm in need of a new desk for my home office. This isn't my primary office - I have a day job - but my home office is where I'll do most of my writing and freelance work.<p>What model desk or brand do you recommend for a home office?
A popular desk amongst many technical people I know for many years was IKEA's "JERKER" desk. It was well-known to be extremely sturdy -- able to hold very large CRT screens -- and relatively inexpensive in most countries.<p>There were a couple models, but they now seem to have been discontinued.<p>Lately I've seen more people buying the "GALANT" as a replacement, which is a similar series of desks from IKEA, except with far more configuration options. These desks are not as industrially-weight-bearing, but I guess not as many people are sporting CRTs anymore :)
Why not make your own? If you don't need drawers then you can just take two sawhorses and put something on top of them, and if you need drawers then put something on top of two filing cabinets.<p>Personally, I plan on making a "door as desk" one of these upcoming weekends: <a href="http://theinspiredroom.net/2009/04/15/diy-an-old-door-makes-a-great-desk/" rel="nofollow">http://theinspiredroom.net/2009/04/15/diy-an-old-door-makes-...</a><p>If that doesn't appeal to you, then I would recommend to at least get a desk that has adjustable height settings, we have desks like that at work and its a very nice feature to have. Anything to make you more comfortable.
