    It just goes down to how much are you willing to spend on a table. Some people who aren't into gaming that much and doesn't cater to the aesthetic look of gaming tables tend to hate on gaming tables and its prices.

    But that desk doesn't have integrated RGB, fps will definitely suffer.
    Seriously though, I was going to build an all IKEA desk. Unfortunately mine came out to be much more than $80. Then went to check out and they wanted $230 just to ship lmao. No freaking way am I paying +$350 for a cardboard desk.
    Ended up getting a 72×25 solid wood slab for $150, 2 used Alex Drawers from the local market at $60 (only using 1 for actual desk), and 3 legs for like $20. I did have to finish the top myself, but these new one coat hard waxes are amazing. So that was a breeze. I'll be putting it together tomorrow, once my finish dries.
    Much more beautiful than the cheap IKEA tops and it'll last, probably the rest of my life, minus the Alex drawer. But I can easily pop 2 more legs on or something. I'd love to get a custom cabinet (or 2) made someday. But kinda pricy for me at the moment. I'm very happy though, can't wait to cable manage 😅.

    Tabletop "$9" ackshually that linnmon would bend like a toothpick under the weight of those dual monitors. So reality is $50 for 2x linnmon, $50+ for 6x legs, and $150 for the dual monitor arm... i agree gaming desks (gaming anything) is severely overpriced but even at ikea your spending $200+ to DIY

    Yea some people like solid furniture. I stand on my desk to change a lightbulb frequently. That ikea linmon desktop is literally made of cardboard. Don’t believe me? Take out the center support leg directly in the middle and see how bad it starts to sag in a week

    does it have shelves? did it include led strips? how about a pegboard to hang your stuff? can you raise and lower it as needed? does it have a built in power strip?
