don't buy online, don't pick and choose from the catalog and go in to pick up
to buy from Ikea - you MUST go there, check the stuff, buy only good stuff

their desks are the best, i own 3 JERKERs

The Jerker owns .. best $99 desk out there. (huge desktop surface, very sturdy, can be taken apart, height adjustable)

i had a Jerker before, but i like my current desk a ton better. although the Jerker was solid as well, this one is rock solid. Its huge too! I think the brand is "Bush". Got it from Officemax for $139.99 🙂
 
ohh i like that desk.

i need a new one. i have 3 file cabinets with counter top on them. real ugly
 
Its all a bunch of EUROcrap. Don't even go near that place without a stupid Allen wrench! After visiting High Point furniture mart a few times I tend to prefer the look and feel of quality American furniture...some of the good makes can mimic Euro design very well but they use quality hardwoods and workmanship (and real fvcking screws/bolts!)

I saw a boomerang shaped desk but it had no spaces on top which I was about to buy but then I looked to my left while on the phone and saw this baby, dropped the phone and ran over to it with cash in hand.

that looks like really thin cheap particle chit (board) If you get a desk made out of particle board, make sure it's atleast 3/4 to 1in thick
