I want to get a small computer desk for the place I'm moving to, preferably something with panache, but I'm looking to keep it under $150 if at all possible. Any recommendations on a desk or where I can look for one?

I bought a metal and glass PC desk which is actually 2 desks and a corner unit for like $129.99 a few years ago at BestBuy. But mine had a gray/green finish on the metal that is wearing off unevenly in spots. The new model is the same desk, but black metal. Black Metal and Glass Portofina Desks

The desk is pretty sturdy, considering the minimalist design, and you can read the reviews there, too.

Used office furniture store. Also, I'm surprised no one suggested craigslist.

Look for county auctions in your area.
Especially school or city related ones.
I went to one last week where they had tons of furniture.
These were not cheap, particle board desk.
But cherry wood, steel, glass tops.
Average price on each, about 10.00
I picked up a 3ft x 8ft desk for 5.00
all steel bottom with 2 inch thick formica covered top.

Amazing how all our tax dollars get sold off for nothing.

If you're in the boston area, you can have my metal and glass corner desk for $50.
