    Our sewers backed up with the flash flood we had this last week and I have to pitch my old wooden desks. Because this has happened in the past, although never to this extent, I want a metal frame desk. I like this one shown here, although would prefer a wood top, but the black tempered glass looks nice too: Amazon.com - Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk, Black with Black Glass - Home Office Desks

    Problem is there is no storage on this desk. I also have two laser printers, and want a desk for those, but with some form of storage underneath. I can find under desk stands, but I want a full size desk/stand if possible, made out of metal, at least the legs. It seems difficult to find just a simple affordable desk with storage and that can handle the weight of two laser printers. I really don't want to spend much money because I don't use that desk all that much, but I keep my printers and older desktop in the basement. I just want something simple, functional, and inexpensive.

    Thanks if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hmm, the more I think about it, I think I may just go with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BDP69M

    Except my one printer is about 17 inches deep, and the shelves are only 14.

    IKEA has some DIY tables, metallic legs with option for wooden or glass top. Still they have no storage underneath, idea is to use wheeled drawers there and they are much more expensive than desk you linked.

    Haha I get all my desks at Ikea, you can't really beat the price/quality/convenience of such a store. I visit at least once monthly to check out the deals they may have going on.
