Looking for a 2 person Office Desk

[Hazmat401]

Hey guys... Me and my significant other is looking for a 2 person office desk. We both are attempting to get our degrees (her PhD in social work and me masters in Environmental Science) online due to our busy careers and we our looking for a 2 person home office-ish desk where we can work together in our spare bedroom we are turning into an office

We found a nice desk that suits our needs but its out of stock:

And I could also stick 2 of these together it its out of stock also:

And I was on pintrest or whatever you call it and I found this desk:

And I want it! does anyone have an info... I tried but couldn't find it

and by all means... if you know of a desk. post it up

Just my $0.02 ...

I think you're going to want the flexibility of two separate desks - you can sit them side-by-side, or put then back-to-back, or at a slight angle or even move one to another room.

My wife and I have our own desk in our home office, but they're not _conjoined_

Either of use can easily roll over to the other person's desk to review something, but can disappear into our own space when it's necessary (highly recommended: replace the castors on chairs with high performance BB inline wheels).

Also, you might want to explore something like a convertible standing desk, they're great, and I'm sure there's no "double" implementation (not even sure how that would work ...)

Wheels on the legs are good too - that way when you have "a difference of opinion" you can wheel them into separate rooms - lol

just kidding . . .

I have mine on wheels because it is easy to move and get at all the power cords and cables to hard drives, screens, iPhone chargers and USB hubs etc.

The chairs are super fun, hardwood floors in here so they get some serious velocity

You do bring up a good point though, we've been together ~22 years, live, work and play together almost exclusively (or with mutual friends/family), we really know how to make this work, but it's not for everyone

General desk info: I'm using a Vivo convertible standing desk frame where you supply your own desktop, for that, I'm using an Ikea Linnmon black/blue (edge look like light oak) in 59x29.5", super inexpensive, when it's done in, I'll just remove and pitch, get another desktop! I didn't want to extra complexity/cost of an electric lift, so mine is manual, it takes about 20-25 seconds to go from the lowest position to my standing position.

Sounds like an excellent solution.

Actually, a conjoined desk would be a nightmare to me. Instead, close but two separate desks is how a happily married couple of my acquaintance have arranged their shared study.

What’s your budget? Are two desks from Veridesk or Evodesk feasible? They’re affordable, stylish, and the ability to stand or sit is convenient.

Well FWIW - I bought a few IKEA versions that were a nightmare to install, move and relocate - looked great in the showroom - but a lot of assembly anguish later

Pictures from advertisements are nice - But - IMHO - but they don't show the Power Cables and USB cables and many other things needed to connect everything

I have one of those now... we moved from an apartment to the house we are in now and it was to big to get through the door so I had to disassemble and resemble and now it wobbles and seem of really cheap quality compared to when I first put it together

IKEA= means what you put it together.... leave it there and don’t touch it lol

The machining of the joints may be loose (or damaged, which is easy to do on particle board), so there's a bit of slop when things are assembled but before all the fasteners are tightened. If it's even a tiny amount, like 1 mm or so, the result can be a wobbly.

One way I've dealt with this is to not cinch down all the screws until the thing (desk, table, whatever) has been placed in its final position. Then get underneath it and tighten down a couple of important screws. Then test it again to make sure it doesn't wobble. Finally, tighten down all the remaining screws. If it still wobbles, try loosening only a couple of screws on one end, adjust the thing so it doesn't wobble, then retighten them.

If nothing else works, a sliver of cardboard under a leg does wonders. A bit of rubber cement will adhere it, yet be removable later.

Isn’t saying someone has a loose screw a personal attack?
