It's surprisingly cheap/easy to put the whole thing together with things from Amazon and IKEA. For example:
4x Olov 36" legs [1] = $60
1x Linnmon 47" x 24" table top [2] = $20
whatever small shelf will fit your monitor(s) = $20
1x Adjustable Stool [3] = $85
Total = $185
Just be aware of the heights. If you're over 6' tall, you'll probably need to put the desk on a $10 set of bed risers (or spring for the $30 Gerton legs that adjust over 40") and you may need the 6430HB stool instead of the 6424HB. The price on those should be within $5 though.
The Gerton Leg, adjustable is not a good solution for a free-standing desk. The recommended installation is two of them at max height with the tabletop affixed to something solid, like a wall.
I learned this after I built the free-standing desk I am currently using. There is noticeable wobble while typing.
