Buy standard when it already fits
A standard desk is often the better-value choice if its dimensions, height, material and load capacity suit your room and equipment.
Consider custom when 'almost right' creates a daily problem
Awkward corners, long wall runs, specialist gear, unusual depth, shared rooms and a strong material preference are all practical reasons. The useful test is whether the compromise would irritate you every day, not whether custom is possible.
Custom trades time for fit
A standard desk can be in the room within days. A custom desk is measured, drawn and agreed before it is made, so the wait is real and worth planning around. See typical price ranges and production times.
