I got a tresanti rising desk from costco. they have some similar at office depot. I can stand if I want to. its not got much storage though. just a flat top and a small drawer but its a decent size.
they do have other brands that have a extra shelf, motor or hand crank or both. Some have headphone holder and storage. I have a 34 or 36 inch widescreen on mine. if the base is huge would be a concern mine has long legs and made it not perfect. but it works well for me. holds a drink, and junk and monitor and mouse and keyboard just fine. I did put a huge mouse pad. like 3ft one.

Having gone through at least 4 gaming desks in the last 15 years I have 2 recommendations:
1) If you need a single desk and have 1 machine (and at most 2 27" monitors) then go with an Arozzi-type desk where the entire topper is a mouse pad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072MLNQXK/  2) If like me you need a desk for daily work from home and then simply turn to be on your gaming PC then this (which has a decent stand-sit raiser via crank): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08W448WYB/  |

I'll add that I had to add 2 large mouse pad/mats to the L-shaped desk because I simply cant work on a keyboard and mouse all day without a mouse mat underneath.
The Arozzi desk I retired and gave to my oldest who uses it as their gaming/school work desk. |

I've been looking at this one. This manufacturer seems to have a good selection and the prices aren't bad.

If I was to do it over, I'd get one with a significant cutout in the front.
The one I have is a rectangle. I mostly do flight sims, and my belly makes it hard to reach the flight controls.  Something like this...

I have an older IKEA desk frame that I put a new tabletop on for my current desk. My next one will probably be with the Alex drawers and a table/counter top from IKEA. There's a number of videos, etc. on how you can do that setup to your liking.

Install some stiffeners if you go that route. I saw those and will prob use them or a single leg like some do. I mount my monitors to the wall usually as the bases for them are getting out of hand. |
