A Great Gaming Desk From IKEA?

[@poultryacht]

Clear, concise, straightforward. Thanks for this review.

[@fspopshovit]

I wish all review were this concise!

[@CheesyMcBeard]

After a year of so of working with this desk I agree that the table top is REALLY vulnerable for moist, scratches and bumping in to it. Also my top came with some unknown stains that I can't remove. Do I recommend this desk? Yeah if your budget is low then yes, if you have more to spend then no.

[@GavAttackO]

Would it be able to hold a clamp style monitor arm or light mount on the backside without tons of flex?

[@jenlt1801]

want this desk so bad but my room is barely about 160cm long ☹️

[@chuybasilio34]

I just ordered the desk. Picking it up today so excited!

[@callme_fakez]

Hey what do you think of it

[@yevheniibondarenko2398]

Cool review! Many thanks!

[@Drone2222]

Thanks for the review! I'll be looking to get this when it's back in stock. Had a question though, when the beveled side is facing you, is the gap in the back wide enough to pass the plug of a cable through? Looks like it MIGHT be possible, but I wouldn't want to have to take the desk top off every time I add a new peripheral or monitor, etc. Thanks!

[@originalfurniturereviews2964]

The gap is less than one inch so you might have to run the cables through the back if you decide to have the edge with the indent facing you.

[@wordz6944]

great vid, was looking to buy this, i think you sold me

[@Salamosalay]

This desk is a huge upgrade for me cause my old school desk is just about 1m long. I‘ll have plenty of space for my pc, schoolwork and hobby stuff

[@mooffalo]

It's funny seeing how much the prices change in just a year. It's $269.99 USD now. xD

[@vannie27]

That wild, it's $189 AUD here, amazing.

[@cobayaholografica4475]

150 USD in Chile

[@AceTrainerUK]

This is £75 atm. But it’s just slightly too big for my room sadly. But what a great deal and price

[@AirsoftDaddy]

75 quid? It lists for £150 here in the UK!

[@AceTrainerUK]

@@AirsoftDaddy yeah 50% off with ikea family card

[@nabidisla.5086]

This is is selling for 200€ I remember when the normal price was around 120€

[@nethyt.]

great video straight to the point

[@letigidou8660]

I don't understand the point of the back mesh. It turns a 31 inch desk into a two feet desk that can hardly fit a gaming monitor and keyboard with a wrist rest. Air flow? Gamers spend hundreds of dollars on overkill coolers and fans. A 60 degree CPU doesn't need a desk mesh. I dunno it's just a bit strange.

[@omelashomelas]

Exactly. Wihh out the mesh this would have been a good option for me. Will have to look elsewhere..

[@overfall.]

Hot air rises - cold air sinks. Having mesh at the back means you can pull more air from below leading to more efficient cycling of the existing cool air in the room as well new cold air from an AC. This is especially noticable in smaller rooms - sure it's not much but its a nice touch

[@DaytonaJae]

I like the rug!

[@mohammedfayaz3780]

Is it possible to install monitor arm to the table ?

[@zodiyac]

is the depth 80cm including the metal mesh? or is it 80cm depth + metal mesh? i hope you understand my question

[@jackkite4404]

Hey, What speaker is that on your desk? looks like a sound bar..

[@TheRealBlooper]

Getting this desk tommorw, so excited for it.

[@southtap3170]

Hey! what do you think of it

[@Clipsandbits_]

thank you so much ireally needed this as im buying this now :)

[@SlipyMedia]

is it good?

[@Clipsandbits_]

@@SlipyMedia yes

[@SlipyMedia]

@@Clipsandbits_ alr thanks 😁

[@the_flushjackson]

Just picked one up today, also have an older 63” x 30” IKEA desk that I picked up some new Olov legs for, probably going to L-shape that baby next to this guy. Ultimately, I'd like a Deskhaus standing desk and perhaps a Skogsta table (92" x 39") to replace this setup in the future -- I just didn't want to dump the money ($3k+ for the Deskhaus unless there's a sale, $700 for the Skogsta) when it's just so easy to keep it cheap with the aforementioned setup. I literally don't care what happens to either of these desks, Jim Hacksaw Duggan could split them in two and yell "HOOOOO" and I'd just go get another one from IKEA 😂

[@sy-ky_buddy4603]

Just how long is this desk? Is it really 80 inches long?

[@pace1]

Can you put monitors on the mesh?

[@dthaysjr]

Now that's it's $269 is it still worth it?

[@SaltedSlug85]

Does not look like a good situation for monitor arms with that thin mesh. That was a ton of wobble too. I have folding leg tables with less wobble.

[@IzSpooder]

you could put it in a corner of a room. makes it less wobbly

[@fawwazal-subie2305]

I am 176 cm, what would be the appropriate legs height?

[@TheWarmestFuzzy]

thank you for this concise and thorough review. I've been interested in this desk for awhile and came to youtube looking for reviews ... after spending 13 minutes watching some fuckwit provide no information on the desk I clicked on this. Glad I did! Congratulations on completing the assignment.

[@Csimon2429]

This thing wobbled like a drunk guy @ 3am when i tested it at Ikea. I went Team Trotten instead. No black tabletop (only white or beige) but at least I wont have to wipe my tabletop every 2 minutes like i would have had to with this fingerprint magnet. I really wanted this desk to, its sexy as hell but there's a reason it's $270 US. ($250 in Canada actually..which is strange) Its too light for one and i could push it around with my pinky finger! For $100 more i get a much sturdier manual sit/stand desk and it has a 10 year warranty as a kicker. Sorry Utespelare... you looked good from far but far from good, i had to pass up close :P

[@nipnapnipnap4111]

but wat is this from 0:41 desk and something idk what is this

[@redmusichouse]

Can you please tell me what the distance is between the left and right legs *under* the table? I'd like to see what I can slide underneath. Thanks

[@blob3045]

Great review thanks! One question though, can this fit the huawei mateview gt 34? I'm concerned because the soundbar might take space

[@SLlorez_-]

with what you clean? i really need to clean mine

[@Szczurek1181]

Hello I have a question. How many centimeters is this desk not counting the net in the depth of the desk. or how many centimeters is the mesh itself in depth

[@adichowdhuri]

hey man do you think this desk is sturdy enough to use a dual monitor mount

[@galdrine4892]

it is very sturdy and very strong, the feet of the table are metal and designed to hold off much pressure and weight, i have one myself and it is definetly doing the job!

[@jaydenlee4879]

do you guys think we can take out the height adjustable for even lower height?

[@Stingy69]

Can the cable management mesh catch fire from a laptop battery? :I

[@anniewilson1853]

Do you have a video assembling this please?!

[@jasonlara]

He does. It's on his channel.

[@TyronReid]

What’s the distance between the legs? I have a limited space

[@zBatos]

If I wanted to use a monitor mount where would I put the clamp?

[@Dodgingss]

see where he routes the cables through put your mounts there just unscrew the back mesh part first before hand.

[@Proxonist]

@@Dodgingss monitor would be pretty close to your eyes though

[@Dodgingss]

@@Proxonist Just bought the desk yesterday and put my monitors mounts on the back where that mesh part is works good just got to make sure its on the part where the little beams are going across you can see them at 2:31

[@Proxonist]

@@Dodgingssk thanks

[@user-es8tt4nr2z]

What's the point of those grey little feet at the bottom? Wouldn't it be better to remove them for more stability/sturdiness?

[@zaangie14]

If the floor has flaws and it's not lineup you use that to get stable.

[@JimsGym-wj6cd]

Weight capacity? I ask because I want to put heavy amplifier and huge speakers onto it, can you help with this question?

[@tempest3516]

Think it is 50 kg

[@Lmao.d]

hello, will you help me in choosing a desk because I don't know which proposition will be better. The first suggestion is UTESPELARE. And the second suggestion is a bacant top and 5 olov legs. Please help me quickly.

[@Jvilleman400]

question is, will the desk hold up a monitor arm

[@CR1SPRFPS]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@JawnNoflag]

@@CR1SPRFPSabsolutely I ran dual monitor arms and even a Samsung odyssey ark which is like a 125 pounds on it no bend great desk

[@ssspyderrr]

@@CR1SPRFPSi've seen someone talk about how the grille in the back is strong enough to hold one but also the max load says 110 lbs

[@subjectbigy]

I saw somewhere that if you install the arms on the bar, it’ll hold fairly well. I’m going to buy mine soon so I’ll let you know.

[@prylantic]

@@subjectbigyso? Is it strong enough to use a duel monitor arm?

[@laemert09]

anyone know the dimensions of the mesh part, says with mesh its 31 1/2 inches

[@padcontrol1]

Do you think the desk is strong enough to put a large gaming Pc on the desk?

[@originalfurniturereviews2964]

Yes, you shouldn't have any issues.

[@ImSoShaxy]

How much width do you have until the mesh?

[@wxnderingtragedy4099]

how thick is it?

[@sams2224]

Thanks for reviewing this. I dont think this is a long lasting option for gamers. Plus the mesh thing is meh not helpful.

[@maxwilliams6419]

Is there any chance you know the distance is from the left desk legs to the right. Working with a tight space and don’t think this would fit depending on the desk frame size.

[@satsumi8458]

160 cm

[@redmusichouse]

@@satsumi8458 160cm is the entire width of the table. I'd like to know only the width between the right and left legs, to see what I can slide under the table. Thank you

[@avjd_]

1:38 This is not minimal movement. It wobbles like hell...

[@manjunathgk3492]

hmm it wobbles a lot! Thank you for the vid!

[@SparkySparkle1]

Can someone tell me if it would support screen support

[@ayyzzley]

does it wobble

[@CDVlogschannel]

Every desk is going to wobble that stands on legs, put it in a corner against a wall and you’re good, if you play on controller even better

[@AeonMusic]

How hard is it to adust the height if you have already fully built the desk? Do you have to take everything off and adjust it?

[@galdrine4892]

no it actually is easier than what you might think, and no you dont have to take everything off, the adjustable legs have their on screws!

[@WooCash95]

I wish they made them a bit smaller, it has all I'm looking for in a desk, but 160cm wide is 10cm too wide where I can put it >.

[@don.timeless4993]

im looking for like this desk that have the ability to change height so i can lower it down to 65 cm so my arms can rest & be happy

[@SuperDarknessc]

120 usd in Poland

[@gozoxeno757]

I do not recommend it i have it for 4 months now and the wood facing the metal mesh is sagging just cuz I put a monitor arm

[@aweoTV]

Is more "A Great Office Desk From IKEA" I have on the Table 2x 32 inch Monitor and a PC and need more space for 150x80x70----

[@Camiestylos]

Minor flaws of the mesh but can be helped The mesh can get fur dust and debris to get stuck on them if left for too long Solution find a roller that has those sticky paper at ikea too and one a week or once a month wipe the mesh with the roller or find a small brush that can also be helpful

[@flookieyoung3011]

& £150 in England 😂

[@itsTarooox]

Who tf is George

[@bback74]

The desk should have been deeper. 80 cm is not much imo.

[@prix3379]

so its a nongamer review of a gaming desk....

[@blafuckyou]

Everytime I hear Americans talk about inches I again cannot understand why the hell they insist on using such a useless unit
