Step 1
Choose the size and features you want. When shopping for a computer desk, the first thing you need to do is decide where you want to put the desk so you can make sure it will fit in the space. Pay attention to where the outlets in the room are so you can choose the best possible place for your computer to sit.

Step 2
Decide how much wrought iron you want on your desk. Most desks use wrought iron only as accent pieces, so you can go with a basic model that contains only wrought iron knobs or decorations on a wooden desk or go full out with something that has wrought iron legs and accents. This will depend on your personal preference and design aesthetic.

Step 3
Look at different price points. A custom desk could set you back several thousand dollars, while something store bought can cost a few hundred. Look at your budget and your needs before deciding on a desk. You may also look into custom builders locally to see if you can get a better deal.

Step 4
Get the desk home. If you're buying online, you'll have to arrange for shipping, which could actually end up costing more than the desk itself if you aren't careful. Wrought iron is pretty heavy and can cost a lot to ship to your intended destination. Look for one that comes in pieces for cheaper freight charges. If you buy locally, you just have to arrange for pickup or delivery.

Step 5
Follow the instructions carefully, and take time to make sure that your desk is put together properly. If the piece is custom made, you'll likely have a wrought iron base with some sort of tabletop, which could be wood, marble or possibly stone. If it's commercially made, it may be primarily wood, with wrought iron accents such as drawer pulls or detail work.
