Good luck with your search... I tried to find an affordable solid wood desk last fall.... Everything I saw was way more then I wanted to spend, and even the expensive ones use a lot of plywood veneers these days. I gave up and got a rolltop desk from Costco that was $400 and was a combo of plywood veneer and hardwood. It isn't really what I wanted, but I couldn't touch anything as nice or nicer elsewhere for under a grand.
