Looking for Desk retailers

I'm moving to a new place within the next month and I would like to purchase a new desk. I've been browsing the net for the past couple weeks. Sites such as Staples, Officemax, and Ikea.

There is one at staples I would really like to get my hands on, but unfortunately it appears to stay out of stock. As for ikea, it looks like overpriced plywood, but I've not had any experiences with their product.

Due to limited disability income, I would prefer not to spend more than$200(us). I'm needing a desk that has ample room for a 19" and 15" lcd monitors with enough room to hold an open text book for my classes. Preferably L-shaped, but standard is fine as well.

Does anyone have recommended sites for desks or possibly a suggested specific desk?

Any input is appreciated.
 
Ikea gets much love from serious computer users. People still want to purchase the Jerker, which has been discontinued and replaced by the Fredrik. How many desks have an adjustable table top? This one moves from 25 5/8 to 38 5/8". It has a cable shelf for organization. I still have an old desk I am using but when it is time for replacing I am buying a Fredrik or a Jerker via Craigslist.

Just the desk http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00141482
Desk with shelf http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60111123
 
I know you don't want to spend more than $200 but I have to recommend this:

http://www.staples.com/office/suppl...lection_196168_Business_Supplies_10051_SEARCH

Its really huge, so make sure you have the room for it. I bought one a couple of months ago, took about 3 hours to put it together with help of a friend.

Once it is all together it is incredibly sturdy. You can keep your comp in the cabinet but I would recommend leaving the door off. All in all it is an amazing value for the amount of desktop retail you get and it is beautiful.

@ only 224.99 + free shipping you would be hard pressed to find something of this size and quality for the same price.
 
@smashbros - That fredrik had actually caught my eye before, but then again I was worried about quality. How are the finishes on the actual shelves? Any idea if they scratch easily?

@Jutsu - Yea, that is an awesome looking desk as well as massive. However, I'm not a fan of the corner desks and I forgot to mention that I don't have a huge room.

Seems I might just purchase the fredrik and buy a keyboard tray to hold books and possibly dinner ;).
Thank you thus far.
