L-shaped desks?
Do you live near an IKEA? If so, do yourself a favor and go get 2 of the kitchen countertops and some of the ADIL legs. Which countertop you choose, is to your discretion tbh. Then, go to your nearest hardware store (Lowe’s, Home Depot etc). Grab a few metal braces/brackets along with some screws to fit. Go home and put the legs on, use the brackets to fit the tables together underneath. Done.
I got a 98” and a 74” of the marble-looking (its laminate) SALJAN ones + a bunch of legs, came out to be less than $180 iirc. It’s a pretty massive desk. I went back later and added 2 ALEX drawers. If I ever feel like changing them, I’ll probably go grab 2 of the KARLBYs.
I also bought something that looks like this, 3 of them.https://m.lowes.com/pd/National-Hardware-4-Pack-4-in-x-0-07-in-Zinc-Plated-Flat-Brace/1000201735 Then some wood screws and washers to fit the holes. Worked like a charm.
If you (or anyone else that reads this) decides to go this route. If you get one of the very long tables like the 98” ones, be sure to space out your the legs out appropriately. The countertops can still warp slightly if you have a lot of weight in the middle.
