Reviews of the Best Computer Desks:If you or members of your family have a desktop computer with all the fixings (printers, speakers, monitor stands, CD racks, gaming joysticks, etc.), chance are you have, or will need, a dedicated computer desk to handle all that equipment. In the days of CRT monitors, just having enough room for those huge, TV-style monitors was a real task, as they often took up half the desk real estate. These days, with LCD screens, mini desktop towers, and laptops, you can usually get by with a smaller computer desk. But whether you need a big or small desk, the first step is to figure out the size of the desk you are looking for -- you'll need the dimensions, length and width, of where you intend to put it. The next step is to determine the style and amount you want to spend. Budget models made with plastic, some metal, and some laminates might set you back as little as $60, while a nicer wooden computer desk can run $250 and up. In this guide, we will take a look at some of the best computer desks out there -- including where to shop, and what you can expect to spend. When you are ready to buy online, we recommend Amazon.com if they carry the model you want. We are always impressed by their competitive prices, selection, fast shipping, and customer service -- plus almost everyone already shops with them and trusts them. You can browse their up-to-date list of best-selling computer desks here .
Corner Computer Desk - Glass Computer Desk:
If you want a high quality computer desk that will last for years and looks great, we also suggest stopping by Office Depot in person or online at OfficeDepot.com. Their selection of Christopher Lowell office furniture is the best we found in terms of quality and still reasonably priced. The Christopher Lowell Shore Computer Credenza sells for $299 and the Christopher Lowell New City Executive Desk goes for $399. The business collection and town collection offer some nice pieces as well. You could easily spend $1000 or more for a nice desk and hutch. For something a little less expensive that is still well built is the Sauder Dawson Computer Desk in Sky Alder color. It costs $159 and needs to be assembled like the rest of the office furniture from Office Depot. For those of you who want a top of the line computer desk, we suggest OfficeFurniture.com. Their Martin collection is impeccable for style and craftsmanship. They carry a multitude of colors and the best sellers are close to $1200 with the high end models reaching $2000+. You will get mahogany wood with stylish features and a professional look versus the computer desks that you build yourself. Our favorite was the Cobblestone Cherry Veneer Executive Desk Kathy Ireland Mount View Collection for $1595. Since the desk ships fully assembled, there's no messing with instructions or parts.
Sauder Computer Desk:Sauder is the leader in ready to assemble office furniture and their computer desks are great. Their variety of designs really help fit anything you need. They have computer desks with hutch, writing desk, computer tower computer credenza, and computer workstations. I prefer their computer desk with hutch setup which allows additional storage space. The 3 drawers are perfect for files, software manuals, letters, etc. The desk w/ hutch is $289 and can be assembled in about 1 hour. The stand alone desk for $303.99 has two file drawers and an enclosed storage area for the vertical CPU tower. It looks more like a desk you would find in an office and has no hutch. Browse various Sauder computer desks here.
Cheap Computer Desk:If you are in college or someone on a budget but still need a computer desk, then finding a bargain makes sense. The internet makes shopping for computer desks really easy and finding a cheap price is even easier. There are dozens of sites that offer free shipping and quality computer desks at discounted prices. Go to Computerdesksnmore.com or OfficeFurniture.com for a wide selection of roll top computer desks, oak computer desks, white/black computer desks, kids/child computer desks, and home computer desks. You will find O'Sullivan, Sauder, and Bestar amongst the selection to choose from. Ebay is another good source for things like desks. Used items on Ebay can sell for 1/2 of what they cost brand new.
