Desk recommendations

I want buy a L shaped desk or nice straight piece.

I can't really find anything for a good price. I would prefer a place that is B&M so I don't have to deal with shipping, and I can return it if I don't like it at all.

I missed out on the Staple Z-Line sale

Thanks. Also I live in Louisville, Kentucky so no IKEA for me.

Honestly I think the best would be to drive to West Chester, OH to go to ikea. But if you are willing to do that I would just buy a zline from staples

Edit:
Well this doesn't look too bad seeing as it is from walmart, I am assuming that you can return to store if you don't like.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Florence-L...-Desk/10752183
And it is a store pickup + free to ship to store.

Same with these
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sauder-Aki...inish/15600215
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Santorini-...-Desk/12528411

I would try to get to an ikea, and if you don't want to drive to hours two Cincinnati I would go and buy a z line from staples.

I know you said you don't want to deal with an online purchase but just incase

Edit 2: Actually for that walmart thing, it is free to ship to my local walmart So it may not be free! Sorry!

I had an IKEA table top and, where my hand rested in front of the keyboard, the finish wore off in about 6 weeks. Just Sayin'

What about making one? The easy way would be yo go to homedepot or lows. And get a plain solid door and make a set of legs for it.

Yea I'm no good at stuff like that. It would be a last resort sort of thing.

I found something on craigslist that might work. I'll see how it goes.

Yeah, with 4 Ikea (or whatever) table legs you can turn pretty much anything into a desk and it isn't hard at all, the legs just screw on.

I'll look into it if the craigslist thing doesn't work out for me at all.
