/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I need a desk. Should I get a soulless height-adjustable modern one like picrel or have one made locally by a carpenter from beech/oak wood? I don't like the perishability of wood though and having one made is probably way more expensive. I also have limited space in my office so the measurements are weird (120x60 cm). I definitely don't want to have to resort to ik*a slop in any case.
