in the link it says 'Robust Gaming-Desk with lots of features' - yet doesnt list any.. i cant imagine whats so special about this to warrant a 1200£...I think you need some more gaming mdf in your life.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
- 1 x Halberd Chimera Gaming-Desk 180cm Stance - Black/Red= £1,210.00
Total: £1,232.50 (includes shipping: £22.50)
Should fit the space nicely, and even lighten your wallet at the same time.

If someone said to me 'guess how much my desk is worth' it think I'd be in the double digits not 1k +!
That is hideous. Would go well with my gucci belt and chaise longue though
- "Luxurious" full-featured gaming desk for sitting and standing positions...

Personally, if it were me I would put a smaller desk in your bedroom instead of the beast you have drawn out. I have a 1600mm x 800mm desk if my dedicated office now and that is pretty big. I used to have a 1200 x 600mm desk which was perfect in my old house. I think it will make your bedroom feel bigger without such a large desk in it and you may still be able to get a wardrobe / chest of draws in that space where your blue line is on the wall.
Totally get you making the room look bigger with a smaller desk. how strong are those ikea desks? I hear they are not very strong.

I've not used ikea desks before, but I buy a typical computer type desk. If you google 'Tully II Narrow Rectangular Desk' it should be the first hit. Its £104 with free delivery for the 1200x600. Looks great in white for a modern look. I've had many desks from this place over the years and none have ever fell apart, I have always sold them on as I decided to upgrade in size or change colour.
Here is my old setup with a 27" monitor on it. 1200x600mm desk.
vs my newer 1800 x 800mm (I thought it was 1600mm wide, sorry, I just checked!)

Must say that's nice in white, Cant seem to find that one when I do a search.

Cheers that sneaky price without vat lol
Your new one I see has draws is that separate?
Soldato
Hehe.
My new one came with them, I specifically looked for one with them. Just bear in mind it takes up leg room and if you do get a 1200mm wide desk, you might find it annoying. My draws are 420mm wide.
Yes if I was to get a desk with draws it would need to be longer. Cheers.
My current work / personal setup. 160cm desk i posted further up
Looks nice, Definitely like white desks.
fobose what make is your new one?

It's from the same website I linked to (furniture at work), but it seems unavailable now. I've had it since July 2019.
Details from my confirmation email: Product code: 46731HE Description: VALUE LINE DELUXE WHITE LEG DESK WITH 3 DRAWERS
Ah, it could have been renamed. Perhaps VALUE LINE did not sound too good
These look very similar:code: 107748HHN, description: Alcott Cable Managed Rectangular Home Office Desk With Pedestal
There is also a slimmer 600mm deep verison:

If you were keen to keep your costs down, you could buy a standard bed side table and put that under the standard desks which work out much cheaper. I did that with an old maple coloured desk I bought a maple coloured bedside table from argos.
*edit* and another thing I did for space saving, I bought a second bedside table and put one on top of the other with a few metal L brackets to hold them together. Obviously they were not under the desk like that but in a small recess area in to the room which fit perfectly. Handy place to keep all my spare PC parts and cables
