Currently using Ikea malm, but I am making a new set up and I think I want to change it. My GF is also looking, and likes the malm, but its out of stock.
We don't really care about standing desks, but just want lots of space and stability. Any budget is ok.
Any recommendations welcome even show off your desk if u like

I like it a lot. It's a standing desk but incredibly stable even on high pile carpet. 30x60" but no reason it can't take an even larger worktop.

my recommendation is to get ikea wooden kitchen counter top and screw some ikea legs into it
super durable, even for angry gamers

seconded but also u can get these like endtable type things with drawers and stuff to just set it on top of instead of the legs. u can also screw it into a standing desk thing at a later date if u change ur mind.

karlby is the popular one and looks rly good, if u want a cheaper alternative try the saljan, i got that one and it's held up to all my desk smashing. if you want adjustable legs i got no recommendations but if you want a regular desk i'd recommend getting an alex drawer and 2-3 legs (depends on how long the table is, if its over 1.8m then get a middle leg)

Adjustable legs are a bit overrated, especially if you don't really care about ergonomics as much (or are just on a tighter budget) but facebook marketplace is your best friend in either of those cases. Sounds like giving the malm to your girlfriend is already the best move no matter what happens, you just should probably upgrade yours in the meantime.
Pretty much anything when it comes to desks are secondary in comparison to being sturdy and looking good, height usually gets changed with an adjustable chair so you shouldn't have to worry about that. If something is nice but not well kept after, maintaining desks that are made of actual wood is still easier and worth more than buying one made of IKEA wood and having to replace parts entirely over time
editing to say that if anything else look into getting a deeper desk, 30 inches was a game changer for me over 23
