Ideally at least 1.2m wide( upto 1.6m), 65cm deep(upto 80cm).

Looking to spend less than £500. I've just about finished converting half the upstairs of my garage, so single bay size.

What are people using for home working? Seem some nice looking ones at John Lewis, however at £700, having looked at them, they're expensive for what they are. Its a bloody nightmare finding the right thing.

I'm not after a standing desk, given my office is in the apex of the roof, its just not practical. Also, when I need a stretch I'll walk the dog!

Thanks for the suggestions though.

I’ve a narrow, steep staircase, I’d like something I can just ‘buy’ this time.

Just over budget but I got a Jarvis standing desk. I might change the top at some point but I'm really pleased with it.
Thanks for the link.

I might go for one of these

I like the bamboo top and the slight curve.

so I ended up with one of these

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089NL9MH2/ref...

dual motor, memory, lovely bamboo top. Although it was £389. Great quality, stable, quiet.

I did like the 'fully' one however it was basically about double the price for the same spec.
