Just did the desktop, the base was from a motorized lifting desk I got at a used office supply place.

Still using it.

pretty cool.  I've been searching high and low for a desk that works for both my and my fiance, but it's tough.  I've considered building one, but I just don't think I have the time right now but yours came out great.

my desk at work used to be a door sitting on top of a cocktail cabinet.

then we needed the cabinet.

I think the boss thought i wasn't going to be here as long as i have been.

One thing you might keep an eye out for is an old style "student desk"

They're bigger desks, typically 3x5 feet with drawers on 2 sides, made to be used by 2 people at the same time.

Another possibility is take 2 file cabinets from a used office supply place (or garage sales), face one set of drawers to one side, the other to the opposite side and throw a simple desktop/glass slab/flat door/ sheet of 3/4 mdf on top.

I did that at one point and it wasn't the prettiest thing, but it worked fine.
