not just a sawhorse and door anymore

$1850 for two saw horses and a desk top? How about $549 or even better $149? It seems you can find a sawhorse-base desk at any furniture store these days and for any price as well. If sleek and chic is what you are looking for, William-Sonoma Home's Mason desk comes with nickel-plated bases, the choice of three tops in glass, ebony finished beech or white painted beech as well as a not-so-wallet-friendly price tag ranging from $1250 to $1850.

Maybe you want to be a bit more kind to your wallet but still want style.

Looking to save even more money? The VIKA series from IKEA provides you multiple desk options including my favorite combination of VIKA GRUVAN and VIKA ARTUR. For only $149 you get a desk with storage and display space under the glass top as well as room for office items such as your printer or CPU on the adjustable trestle bases. Pair this clean white desk with some brightly colored desk accessories and create a workspace that will keep you happy and excited to work or at least stick around and browse the internet a little bit longer.
