I bought a desk from flexispot with duel monitors and ending up buying the Idasen tabletop from Ikea.

Flexispot EQ3

I really like this desk as it is duel motor and is quite quiet. I needed something with duel motors as I have two 30" monitors and I worry a single motor won't be powerful enough if I wanted to get a bigger, solid wood tabletop. The Idasen I got was 140" x 75", which was plenty for now. I did get a mounting plate on my desk before I did a triple monitor mount (just in case the ikea honeycomb tabletop couldn't support the mount), the only thing I'm missing right now is a server cable raceway big enough for me to have all the cables hidden for my setup. I think the total setup for the mount, desk and tabletop was about $720 all together and I'm pretty damn happy about it.

Also for chairs, I'm eyeing the Staples Hyken. From what I've read that it does perform similarly to the Aeron if you're a smaller lighter guy. Alternatively, if you're a bigger guy, the Secret Labs Titan is pretty good. Don't get the Omega chair. It doesn't have good back support and the seat has that stupid race car bucket that really keeps you from moving much. The Titan is wider and less like a bucket seat so you can move a bit more and actually had back support.
