I'm building a home office and looking for the ultimate desk.

Lot's of resources about the great desk chairs, but very little on great modern desks.

Requirements:

Straight.
No side cabinets.
Attractive.

Electric adjustable would be nice, but I haven't found very attractive looking one. The one recommended in this thread is pretty ugly.

The Herman Miller Sense desk looks nice. Big fan of Herman Miller after my Aeron and Mirra. Does anyone have any experience with their desks?

EDIT:

Thanks all for the advice.

I ended up just going with the Galant after seeing it and the Herman Miller's in person.

What a great desk!
