Just and fyi, the glass desk is very heavy so if you dont live in a 1st floor or private home it could be hard to get in and assemble.....
That's nonsense. The glass top only weighs 70 lbs. That's very light and easy to carry. Assembly is simply setting the glass top on the legs. There may be good arguments for not getting glass, but yours isn't one of them.

I work on a glass desk all day. It's quite comfortable, functional and attractive, winter or summer.

OP: By the way, you can buy the glass top and use it with different legs, including the ones shown in the other desk you pictured. So if you like the top but not the legs, buy the glass separately and buy whatever support you prefer.

Guys, thanks to you I have a much clearer vision on what to choose. I know these trestles are ugly as well ;) so I found a new model. But browsing the Ikea catalog I just found a new desk as well !! I am desperate lol I need your advice for the last time ! :)

Choice #1 : Glass desk with flowers (trestles would be same but black)

Choice #2 : Glass desk with text (trestles would be same but black)

Choice #3 : Iron desk (both plate and feet)

I prefer the one with text, it seems really cool though I do not know what it says on there.

However, I hate the look of those tressels unless you like the look of a carpenter's desk. It looks like that tabletop should have a saw and power tools on top of it.

The one with text has the word "Love" in multiple languages. The trestle looks good in black... the beige does look too rustic.

It's not the color I have a qualm with; it's the positioning. The stands look so restricting on space for your legs. If they were positioned the other way you would have a significant amount more room...but, of course, this is one person's opinion :p
