Just moved into a new house, and now have a dedicated 'office' room, that will be used for working from home, internet gaming, and playing my guitar/home studio.

At the moment the room is a blank canvas, pretty much square, and I have no furniture, drawers or desks.

Rather than buying something and 'making it fit', I was thinking of buying 2 kitchen unit carcasses, and then putting a worktop over them, to make one big, solid desk unit, that will fit the room 'exactly'.

What do people think, or what else can they suggest ?

This seems a fairly cheap solution, with the advantage of adding cupboard storage at the same time.

Am I missing any 'gotyas' or obvious flaws in my plan ? Or any better options ?

The kitchen units will need to be cut down otherwise will be too high.

Another option is to use a couple of 2-3 drawer filing cabinets.
