I’ve been looking for a new computer desk (something that’s ergonomically correct yet has room for my copious stuff) for more than a year. (Ok, I haven’t spent a lot of time looking, but I’ve been keeping my eye out, ya know?) The pieces I see at Office Depot and stores like that never quite fit the bill. Desks at real furniture stores are more likely to be about style than ergonomics or economy of space. After a friend told me about some custom-built bookshelves he had done, I started thinking about having a desk custom-built.
I haven’t done anything about this yet (I probably need to do some sketches of exactly what I want), but I have started to look at web sites of companies that do custom-built furniture. In case you’re in the same boat, here’s a few of the links I dredged up:

http://www.woodwiseinteriors.com/
http://www.montanawood.com/

I have a feeling a local carpenter could probably make what I want (for less), so I’ll be checking into that too.
