That is a very nice looking desk; is it solid wood, and if so, what type? - The link you included only offers a picture of the desk, without adding any further details, such as size, type of wood used, and - most important - price.

Thank you for your reply and for taking the trouble to add further details; I just took a quick look at their website and it appears that they manufacture good quality high end furniture.
Here's my desk (though mine is a bit bigger, same model):
It's really not bad for the price. I haven't really found a desk I really, really like yet - so this Ikea one will do for now.

I use a varidesk at work too. I try to stand, but not nearly as often as I should.
I started to build a standing desk out of some old pallets, and I almost had it finished before we had to downsize. Now there's no room in the apartment, so it's sitting unfinished in storage. I want to do a poured resin top so that you can see the wood (which is very uneven) underneath. And then I need to poly-coat the rest of the desk.
These are some work-in-progress photos of the desk, though they don't show the current condition. I added a shelf across the bottom and some 1x4 trim along the desktop to hide the edges.

Me too, IKEA Galant. But i have the dark brown table top version. Should've bought a white top. You see everything on that dark wood, most of the time dust 
Ikea Arkelstorp desk: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60261037/
Gorgeous, huge wood surface. Drawers can go on either side, too (I have mine on the right).

I've had this desk from IKEA (love that place) for about two years. Apparently they discontinued it and it has been wiped from existence as I cannot find it anywhere online except for this photo. It's a great, sturdy, compact little desk. But, the keyword is "little" because that is the type of space I currently have for my home office. I am a minimalist, so it works good enough.

I have that same desk, but the longer one that can seat two people. I was looking for a table like Snoop Dogg has on his GGN show on YouTube.
I have a custom T-shaped desk for my personal computer (rMBP) and my work computer (Lenovo running RHEL), and my wife's 21" iMac.
Here's mine, it's an 'L' shaped attachment made for ikea's expedit series. Inexpensive and my hackintosh and 23" cinema display looks awesome on it
I'm thinking of pickup up the Varidesk Pro Plus 36 http://www.varidesk.com/standing-desk-pro-plus-36 . I'm planning on using it in a slightly unorthodox way - use my rMBP 15 on the keyboard tray and my U2515H on the riser. Has anyone tried this combination?
This is sort of a re-post of my Mac Setup, but the Desk is a dining table, specifically the Morbylanga from Ikea.
I was using a fantastic set of Hamlyn desks, which lasted for years; I was a bit of a snob about using solid wood desks in my office. But when it came time to remodel I couldn't find anything that fit my size requirements. I saw a few setups online using harvest tables, and I thought that work to fit my hardware, while giving me some breathing room -- I'm running 2 32" BenQ CAD monitors, I downgraded my Cintiq 22HD to a 13HD. The old setup with all three displays was ludicrous. The results came out fantastic. Lots of space, enough room to fit everything on a single desk.

I was skeptical myself, until I took the drive down to a local store and gave it a once-over in person. I was instantly sold. Mounted a few of their wire management systems underneath, and proceeded to fall in love. It's my favorite desk thus far.
Well, I have to say that I know very well where you are coming from, because I am 'a bit of a snob about using solid wood desks' myself. Actually, I love solid wood, and love well made wooden products.
Your desk is lovely; what is the wood used?
