Student here, so I guess my office is less mission-critical than others.
I took an old door, nailed an edge around it, and varnished it. Got two trusses from Ikea for pretty cheap (~$30 each), and two "night stands" that work really well as shelves.
I have an absurd amount of desk space and I find it great for working. My desk is messy, but I'll get a picture up in a sec.
Edit: Heres that photo

- bane 13y agoDoor/desks are some of the best. My old desk in High School was a door and some concrete blocks. All the cords ran through the hole the handle was supposed to occupy.
- bichiliad 13y agoI actually really wanted to do that, but I got the door before it had the handle hole cut through it (there's a place not far from me that sells unused things like that). There's still time, I suppose.

- bichiliad 13y agoI was lucky enough to know someone with this particular door, but it isn't uncommon for there to be a construction materials recycling sort of place. The prices are usually very cheap. Good example here: http://www.constructionjunction.org/ http://www.constructionjunction.org/
