Anyone know of a good second hand store?

Am looking for height adjustable desks for the office and dont really want to fork out too much...

What could you get one second hand for? £100?

Yep, should be achievable. I've used these guys a couple of times - http://www.grahamsofficefurniture.co.uk/ and we got some decent quality, barely used desks etc. for the same price you could get an Ikea-quality equivalent.

Ikea used to do a good range of affordable adjustable-height desks. I don't believe they do any longer, but eBay may be your friend there (see notes below, however).

www.wantdontwant.com can be good - they're brokers rather than vendors, but they do get some very attractive things in sometimes.

[urlwww.green-works.co.uk[/url] recycles office furniture on behalf of major banks etc. Low prices, but hard to work out what they've got - basically have to visit the warehouses.

eBay used to be good until sellers realised that nobody paid more than tuppence for proper office furniture. Still worth saving a search to email you if somebody lists what you want, however. This can work well with "commodity" stuff like Ikea - you might not get all you want at once, but you can pick them up in dribs and drabs if that suits you.

Other than that, dealers are a good bet.

We've used Want Don't Want, got some v. nice desks that were £2k each when new, for £90 each - Including PDUs and v. v. sturdy construction (Metal gantry + 1.5" thick tops). Bit tatty around some of the edges, but nothing that wasn't easily fixable and for the savings, well worth it.
