I've done that for my son. I got a flat door and laid it on top of two two drawer filing cabinets - one on each end. You could use a short bookcase on one end instead of the second filing cabinet. If the door has an opening for a door handle - that's OK as it can be used for electrical cords from a lamp and computer.

You can also use 2 prefinished 12 inch shelves available at your home improvement store or lumber yard. You pick the length. Paint the file cabs to match. Add a desk pad for that pro look.

How about a door? Some are flush and if you can get the right size it will work...paint all the same color.

We used 2 IKEA file cabinets with an ikea table top across the top. Add floating shelves and stenciled the wall behind the desk.
