Hey everyone! I recently bought a really inexpensive countertop in Spain that was 150cm x 80cm, and it worked perfectly with a couple of IKEA drawers. I'm on the hunt for something similar here in the USA—specifically at Lowe's or Home Depot—within the $30 to $50 range. Has anyone found good options or alternatives?

Home Depot and Lowe's do sell some countertop sections that are around 5-6 feet, but just a heads up—they're usually over $100. Might be a little outside your budget!
Try looking at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore; you might find a cut-off or a slightly damaged countertop for a good deal. If that’s not available, salvage stores can also have some great options. I grabbed some butcher block there for about $60-70!
Have you checked IKEA? They have stores in the US. Also, consider using a hollow core door as a desk; they can be found at Lowe's or Home Depot, and should fit your budget just right!
Or you might want to find an old dining table or some other piece of furniture you can repurpose into a desk! Just a thought.
