Anybody seen anything worth buying or bought one recently they can
recommend.

I've looked at Argos, Staples, Homebase.

Looking for max length on each side of 100 cm (got limited space).

Want one with a pull-out keyboard draw wich also has adequate space for a
mouse mat. Orginally, I was against these (wanted to rest wrists on desk),
but I've been told that arms should be lower than normal desk height.

Ikea have a couple of corner units, both less than 100cms , A friend of mine
has the cupboard one (Alve)  in a small room and it takes everything (and
plates as well!)  Hides everything when not  being used.. The other is a
Leksvig,   they are probably the cheapest things that do everything that you
want!

Thanks Kinesin (I'm the OP)

I'm still looking, and it looks interesting, although I've been swinging
towards those on castors.

Bit wary of it being so cheap. Notice it's got keyboard and mouse shelves
on the same level (lots have a keyboard only pull-out shelf with the mouse
used on the main desk, which does'nt seem to make ergonmic sense).

I actually bought a corner unit from Argos last week, but had to take it
back because it came too far out into the room, even though I'd looked at
the dimensions beforehand.
