Hi guys, my budget is around R2000-R2500 for a decent PC desk.
All I really need is something that can slide out (where the keyboard goes) and a desk space big enough for my PC and monitors.

Kinda like this I guess, but it doesn't need to be like this. Just big enough to have the keyboard and mouse next to each other.

Don't think they make these desks anymore.. you can get a normal desk and buy a underdesk keyboard tray, which are few and far between in our country and cost the same as the desk itself..

Take a look here, no keyboard tray desks but might be something for you. I'm really happy with my Decofurn desk + cabinet + bedside drawer setup, got them early last year, still holding up really nicely, no edges fraying or drawer floors buckling, all really sturdy and strong. Needs to be assembled but it's a lot higher quality than other budget-friendly desks.

Go for the simple single desk look and use binder clips for cable management.

Try Decofurn. I bought a 150cm with 75cm depth for R999. Desk is wide enough for 2 monitor and a laptop.

I'm using the same desk. Can't recommend it enough.

If you're actually using the PC for more than 5 minutes a day, you don't want to do that, as either you're putting the keyboard too low or the mouse too high, either one will be bad for your posture.

Cheapest desks that are generally good would be decofurn.

Thanks guys, went to Decofurn in CPT today.
There was a MASSIVE bodybuilder buff guy taking everyones temperature and preaching to us all about covid. I honestly have no idea how someone can be that big during lockdown when gyms are closed.

Err, onto the point.
Saw some decent desks. Saw some really cheap sleeper couches that feel fragile asf.
I really like the L shape desks and Im gonna buy a desk there payday.
