      idk man, I regularly sit and stand on my desk when working or mounting something behind it, needless to say all my desks are steel frame and I'm only ever gonna get steel frame desks for any of my workspaces.
      They're cheap and often even free on the used marketplace over here anyway, so I see no reason not to.
      the 70s and 80s factories, offices and schools loved steel frame desks

      Even without it, you'll be fine, as long as you don't do a "jump and smash". The leg is just to reduce sagging, to assure a more level surface. Obviously, it can hold the weight of a person, without any issue. Unless you use it as a work bench to rebuild an engine, it will handle anything you put on it, plus, it's safe to lean on.

I have the same type of setup 2 Alex file drawers with the Linnmon on top, it has held up my PC with 2 monitors (a 32 inch and a 27 inch) since I got it without the middle leg. Definitely would recommend this to someone that needed a cheap desk setup. It is much better than a folding table (I have seen so many PCs damaged because of folding tables).

With the 4 legs it cost me around $35 I think, buy a drill from ikea tho. You’ll need one to build the table unless you got some jacked ass arms to build it with just a screw driver

    I have Linnmon tables in my studio where I do my oil painting work. The melamine coat makes it easy to clean up and, even though the table tops are scuffed, stained and dinged, when I need to replace them it will be easy and cheap to do. The Alex cabinets work well for the sides and, on one, I have a filing cabinet supporting the middle of the table so it's extra strong. I had a Canon pro printer on one for years, it is a huge and heavy printer, but never had any issues with it.

    I have the same desktop only the shorter one and the problem with the cardboard design is if you have dual monitors on a desk clamp mount then the clamp will push right through the top making your monitors slowly sag forward until the clamp finally pushes through the wood causing your monitors to fall.

    It's actually insane how strong ikea's honeycomb particle board is. Was worried at first but decided the smaller version due to limited space and budget. Happy with it for my laptop and monitor.

      Just make sure you’re not using a monitor arm, or if you do, buy one of the steel reinforcement plates (spreads load out over larger area). Ikea desks are known to fail over the course of a year using monitor mounts

    Trying to see what I should upgrade to, the sides of my Linnmon are peeling off because of how poorly it's designed. I had my microphone mounted on the side and it apparently didn't enjoy the pressure.

    I made the mistake of getting one of these. Less than 6 months in, my monitor arms literally started crushing the paper filling to the point where all four sides popped off. Thankfully I managed to notice in time, otherwise the $80 table top would have caused me $1500 in damage to my equipment! definitely go for a solid wood table if you plan on using a monitor arm that clamps onto the table.

      @@MattieKB Please, do so! The thing to look out for when purchasing at IKEA is to avoid any and all desktops or table tops that have the label "honeycomb structure paper filling".
      You can't even screw things to its underside without them falling off, lol. I tried using cable channels, screwing on a headphone holder, and a USB hub to route my cables. They all fell off because the screws obviously had nothing to screw into!
      Never making the same mistake again. I tell people to just save up and get a Butcher's Block table/counter top from Home Depot or similar hardware store. Even if you have to oil and varnish the top yourself, its a lot better as its solid wood and not that expensive. You can get cheap legs or desk frame yourself from IKEA instead for cheap.

      I've had mine for over a year. With a dual monitor on a single arm set up. I got a metal plate to sandwich the mount with the table and have had no problems with it. But maybe it's just luck?

    I feel like some 1/2" steel box section lengths would really stiffen it up as well, it's a pretty great value. Even some extra wood would probably make it stiff enough to support quite a lot of weight in the middle.

      u should be good, im trying to build the same thing with the 59" linnmon tabletop and 2 alex draws. you would have to exert a large amount of force in the center in order to break the table. i assume your monitor or monitors will be in the middle and they dont weigh that much.
