Which Desk Should I Choose?

[Luminor]

I need a new desk that can have the computer on it (900D is the case), support for up to three monitors (24" to 27"), and still be able to hold the keyboard (slightly larger than the k95) as well as a mouse and mousemat (about 18" by 18")

Get a desk with a keyboard drawer. Something about 36 inches or bigger drawer will give you a ton of space. I have a Razer Nostromo, CM quickfire storm TK, and LARGE wowpad on my KB drawer and not crowded.

Also the lower drawer gives a better height for comfort than using it on desktop, and frees up the room for monitor, tower and speakers !

something like this has a ton of room:

I never liked those slideout keyboard drawers.

I currently have an IKEA Frederik desk (60") that came with two adjustable shelves, which is great... but it's not the best desk I ever used. That honor still goes out to a simple 72" folding table. It was long and sturdy and big enough to hold everything.

Didn't it wobble back and forth or was it one of those good ones that cost a lot ?

The table... heck no!!!... it was one of those premium heavy tables... I have two in my garage that I set up for special occasions. I would go back to one of them but I have this desk now.. the desk looks great and the top shelf I have my printer there.. and second shelf I keep under my desk as a storage area... but this IKEA desk does wobble when I print.

There is an old saying, "Keep it simple". This is photo of the table I miss the most:

School tables I see...

I had a desk that wobbled like hell, what worked for a super cheap fix was to get some right angle brackets (about 6 to 8) and screw 4 underneath the desktop to the sides. 2 on each side. Then do 4 from the sides to the board that runs across the back underneath the desktop. It'll make it wobble free. For about 4 bucks, worth it ! do the same to the hutch, if the desk is black, paint em black and won't see em.
