I built my Ham Desk into a 8 foot closet. First removed the sliding double
doors from the closet
then used a regular unfinished room door for the desk top -- installed into
the closet. Secured door to studs in the closet wall and used three legs to
support the front.

Covered the desk top with wall paneling. Nice appearance

Advantage -- this makes a wide desk -- plenty of room to hide cables in the
back of the rigs.

Next I built 3 shelves above the desk top. And added drawers underneath the
desk top.

This arrangement put all my Ham gear and test equipment. computers etc all
in one neat desk with plenty of space for books etc on the upper shelf

Cost is low compared to a 8 foot piece of furniture which most are not wide
enough for a good Ham Desk.

One of these days I may come out of the closet -- hi hi

There's also the old tried and true "quicky" instant-desk:

Get two full-suspension (for strength and depth (usually))
file cabinets and pot a door across them.

I used one like that when I was in school and it sure is great
for moving; much easier to move than most other desks ('cept for
my WW2 conference table).
