Sharing a little secret we learned from a previous coworking space and used in ours. If you go to the kitchen area of IKEA you can buy the full plank of kitchen counter tops. Then go to the desk area and buy the cheap legs. Not only you get very cheap tables but they can be easily stacked in case you need to store them away.
