Well, if you live near an IKEA, you can do a nice one for $200 + tax.

Solid wood top ($79.99): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50106773/

Four legs ($120.00): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60261626/

I wish I could, but I'm 6'2". I calculated my height needs to be about 46"-48" (would have to play with it when I got it assembled). The legs go max 42 1/4". I'd rather have the desk itself be at that height and not have to put something else on it (like smaller desk or box).

I can't find Ikea legs that go that height.

wobbly IMO. I used:

But this is a lower height than mine, so anyone under 6' would need bed risers (it has 3" extendable feet).
