I made a desk. I wanted it deep enough and wide enough for my PC monitors, huge mousepad and keyboard. Also I wanted it to be relatively easy to move so that it wouldnt be a one huge piece like my old was.
So drawers and PC desktop slot are the stands for the desk top which is just dropped in its place without any screws. Its heavy enough to hold perfectly still.
I also painted the top black so it would conseal all the cables a little. And I actually fabricated the cable holder from steel rods (part of my assignment) underneath the desk top so I can have an extension cord for monitors etc in there instead of it being on the floor.
I was studying to become a teacher (in Finland) and I could make it as an assignment for my crafts class. So I didnt pay any of it (studying is also free up here). As a student I couldnt afford a table that nice and probably I couldnt have found one with those specifications either. So it was and is perfect.
Its now ten years ago and its still going strong. Though now I have no time to game because we have a baby and my wife wouldn't want the desk to stay since its so huge. But it stays. And yeah I also made a full oak dining table which would cost a lot finished. The wood wasnt cheap either. It has similar specs: sized big enough and made relatively easy to take apart and move. Its heavy!

It took me a long time to find a really deep desk for my PC but I foun dit years ago on Amazon. They don't sell it anymore, I do play to replace the top with a nice solid wood top and lower the height of the desk with a grinder and welder at some point as well. Most desks aren't very deep so it was always cramped with a couple of monitors and a big PC case, amp and speakers.
