Thought I'd share this if you are in the market for a new desk and got the space.

I've been using this Balt desk for over 10+ years now. I picked it up with the intention of having friends over and being able to LAN together for coop games and such.

It's pretty much fit the job perfectly and even still today can support my 34" 4k monitor with another giant monitor next to it, 2 sets of speakers and my router without issues.

It's adjustable in the middle so I've got mine slightly raised in the back. It also has a stand for each tower.

Thought I'd share as this one took me a long time to find, also note you need to buy 2 boxes (hence the part 1) listed on the product page. One is the table itself and other is the frame.
 
Have a link to the frame? Shipping to FL was $66 just for the top.
 
I wish you had posted this a few months ago. I grabbed an Ikea desk from Facebook, but i would have loved this desk. I ended up just getting some brackets and putting a shelf about a foot above the desk for the monitors.
 
Similar style to this desk that my friend made in the mid 90's. He gave it to me in 97 or 98.

This is an old pic from 2012 when I had the small triples.

Here is a pic from way back in the day, had some friends over and they were all playing Age of Mythology over the lan.
My dad was downstairs and my brother in his room.

Haha that 2nd shot is so epic, really reminds me of my first setup. I even had the random model photos posted in my room above the desk like that!

Yeah just search around for the part numbers, either way if you don't need one of those standing desks you can adjust at will this in my opinion is one of the best out there vs. a corner style desk. I really have enjoyed it all these years.

Yeah I like the look of it. Only part that concerns me is the support bar between the legs. Seems like that could be a pain to vacuum around or get in the way of my chair/feet.
 
It looks like this is available on wayfair.com for $411.98 with free shipping.

Very confusing listing though because they also offer the top only for $298.99

It's cheaper for me though with shipping charges via the ibuyofficesupply.com site.

I'm not sure if this is the desk for me yet vs just building something from scratch. I've been using two NPS 30x60" tables in an L formation as a cheap solution while renting but have now purchased a house and want something a bit better. These weren't too bad except they eventually sag -- placing a piece of glass on top was my solution to that.
