4" un-treated fence posts, 1" Marine fine grade good one side plywood.
How fancy you get after that is up to you.
No cement blocks to ensure structural integrity? (or is that considered part of fancying it up?)

A hollow core door with some book shelves or file cabinets for support work great too.

I prefer a 100% tree carcass desk but you do you my friend.

I have a straight piece and one of these http://www.amazon.com/BBF-Series-48W-Corner-Desk/dp/B000W8JO9S/ref=pd_bxgy_196_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NPSYXAKX9M48B5WZ0CE

There are a whole lotta different pieces to go with all of this.

I've looked at DIY projects using kee klamps in the past. Might cost a bit more in parts/labor, but they look like they are made to last and you can design everything to fit your space.

I see them now.

I want to be lazy and buy something pre-built. I don't have the time to build my own at the moment.

I didn't mean literally pre-built. I know I will have to assemble the desk. I just don't want to design something.

While this guy is a tad cheesy, the build that he did wasn't all that bad. My other desk is a hollow core door on two 2-drawer filing cabinets.My current desk is a custom built desk that is in 4 parts, L shaped.

I had a local cabinet/furniture maker make me an L desk. It is fantastic.

I'll see if I can tidy up my desk at home and send you a pic. It's ~12' long, 4' deep and made to my father's standards (skookum as frig).

If you don't wander across something perfect, an Ikea tabletop with separate legs would probably be bigger and more solid than much else you could find for the price. They won't ship everything they sell, but usually will have an option or two that doesn't add a $349 truck delivery when you add it to the cart. Some of the legs they sell are adjustable height too.

I've never had anything from Ikea that didn't fall apart within a few uses.

My desk is super easy and is from IKEA.
I use it standing now, but it was set lower and I was in a chair for the first couple years.
