I need one.

Approx dimensions: L140xD60xH70cm.
+ No filing cabinet or otherwise. Just drawers.
+ Price £100 max.

This from ikea is about the best I've found so far. The asymmetrical legs aren't really to my taste but the main problem is a measly 50cm depth - it's not enough to fit to a large monitor on without wall mounting. The price however is very tempting.

Any ideas?

I have an Ikea table, no drawers, but a decent size, cheap enough, nicely sturdy.

might be handy.

Ta didn't see that. But really looking for something a bit more homely and stylish, those ones are a bit officey. Drawers are really a must as well.

Could probably buy the wood from a timber merchant and do it yourself if you've got a bit of time and willingness to do some research into joints and construction methods.

getting the top and legs separately from ikea is the cheapest and bestest way. Even better if you can fish something good out of their bargain basement. My massive 2m x 1m thing only cost £30

You can get drawers sets in the mix and match Ikea tables bit.
