IKEA have some reasonable offerings

Another +1 for IKEA.

The Lagkapten table top is completely fine. It comes as an option in a slightly smaller 120x60 size too at Ā£20 which is great for smaller spaces.

I did have the standard legs on it, but Iā€™ve swapped them out for the Flexispot E1 motorised legs.

You could buy a more expensive desk top, but Iā€™d say unless youā€™re going solid wood or metal, thereā€™s no point looking anywhere else other than Ikea.

IKEA also have a really good dual monitor support, Iā€™d recommend that too.

100pc agree.

Iā€™ve a set of legs from Amazon (standing desk) which were about Ā£80 and an Ikea Table Top which was about Ā£20. Itā€™s survived a house move and other things and still more than adequate

I havenā€™t got that one but I bought a set of legs off Amazon about 3 years ago and paired it with an Ikea Table top. About Ā£120 all in. And still going strong now. I wish Iā€™d gone for one with a memory pre-set but other than that I canā€™t fault it.

Another vote for Flexispot (ordered direct from them) - I have the E5 and have had no issues with it

Iā€™d do it on one leg if it was a 30% pay rise.

Okay question for the group. Moving in with a partner, new desk ordered.

Between us we have two windows laptops (both with hdmi and usb-c), a MacBook (just usb-c), and a desktop (all possible connections!).

I want to set one widescreen monitor up and my keyboard/mouse, webcam and mic (all usb-a) with the easiest way possible to move between them. Iā€™m thinking a single USB docking station thatā€™s powered (to charge phones etc) next to a laptop stand and with a USB-C extension to connect it to the desktop? Is that the best way? And any recommendations for such a docking station? Donā€™t mind paying a decent amount for it.

*edit: significant bonus if the docking station looks half decent

How decent of an amount? I have the CalDigit TS4 and Iā€™m very happy with it. Itā€™s pricey though.

Thatā€™s not too expensive. Forgive my ignorance though - will that work okay with the windows laptop that doesnā€™t have Thunderbolt 4? (It does support displayport via USB though)

Yes, it supports USB-C Alt Mode which essentially sends a DisplayPort stream over USB.
