I'm looking for a decent L-shaped desk (one or two part) for doing my telecommuting and at-home schoolwork. The side to my left (with the other side, obviously, in front of me) will likely always have briefs, papers, folders, etc. strewn across it. I'm looking to keep storage – drawers, shelves, cabinets – below because it's going in the corner under the eaves (not Eames) part of the ceiling. Open space on top, storage on the bottom, pretty much. If I had time, I would just build this thing, but time is pretty scarce these days (almost 1:00 AM here, and I'm still working).
Anyone know where I can find decent products (preferably not produced in a hellhole sweatshop) online that aren't too exorbitant? I'm checking out IKEA right now, and it's not very inspiring.
Help me QBN-Kenobi – you're my only hope.

It’s 1:00 am, so you need it, when, by morning?
Sorry, I was going to suggest IKEA.

My set up is from IKEA, for about $100 I got two 78" long table tops, legs, a supporting drawer, and a wall shelf that will eventually sit on paper drawers (right now they're stacked on cardboard). If it helps any, I believe the stuff was mostly from the VIKA set.
- Cool, ismith – thanks. That's a cost frame I can deal with.dog_opus

There was a cool link posted recently about what people had done to alter IKEA furniture to design their own setups... anybody got that handy? dog_opus might find it handy, and I'd certainly like to see it again... thanks anyone!
- I was thinking of that too. It's a blog, and I think it's called "IKEA Hacks." I'll give it a quick search and then off to bed.dog_opus
