[TenTec] Lets talk furniture

Here's a link to the most recent pix of my table. Total cost was $0.00. The main table is simply a 3ft X 8ft solid core door and the 2 shelves are the same, sawed in half forming two 18" wide shelves. These doors came from a commercial remodeling site and I saved them from the dumpster.
They had a hard coating of tan paint which I kept for the shelves but for the table, I used my belt sander with a coarse grain paper to grind off the paint. It left a rather rough surface to which I applied a heavy coat of Minwax Gel Stain with no varnish. This is the first surface I've ever had that my keys don't slide around! The edges are painted with flat black latex paint.
Rig lineup from left...Triton 544, IC-756ProII, Centurion Amp, Ameritron tuner.
Holding the whole thing up are some 1" boards on the ends, screwed to the wall and painted to match the wall. I can jump on this table and it doesn't budge!

  Can someone recommend an operating/computer desk that
  might be available at a national store?  I would like to have
  2 levels of shelving for radios and room for a monitor and printer.

  Appreciate your suggestions!
