Desk recommendations for PC

[jasonwsc]

As the title says,

Looking for a new desk for my room to replace my stupid 2 level design Sitoca one that looks like this(pic not mine) cos the bottom layer not wide enough to put a monitor. Budget around $200-$300ish, length around 1.2m cos no space.

I have narrowed down to the following.

Ikea Bekant - seems ok, but still OOS, the particle board looks a bit thin but steel frame should be strong enough

Logan table - supposedly solid wood, but dunno if the top can last with water, humidity etc. Looks identical to another table on Jiji.sg but that one is MDF. Also my Ikea Markus chair cannot fit under the side, 69cm vs 67cm, so need to customise.

Ikea Idasen - supposedly more stable than Bekant, but honeycomb filling top like a bit cui.

Ikea Karlby/LILLTRÄSK + Alex drawer + 2/3 extra feet - can customise, but need to DIY and drill stuff myself

C-clamp Karlby/LILLTRÄSK and use back old Sitoca table...

Anyone got any other recommendations or not?

use saw to saw away the top part of the sitoca.

 

[Koenig168]

wall mount the monitor, has the advantage of freeing up all that table space

I seriously doubt Logan is solid wood. It's probably particle board.

I would go for last option. Driling I think can get Ikea help you do.

Not sure if feasible, the steel seems pretty thick.

Possible, but I think the table should be able to hold at least two monitors, with a normal base or vesa clamp.

Also this means getting rid of the sitoca.

I like the Alex drawers, but not sure if it is worth the effort vs. a ready made desk.

Have a 1.8m desk with steel legs from vhive and it serves me well over 5 years and still going strong.

Can't remember the type of wood for the table top but it is pretty thick. Have my 34" monitor on mount as well as audio video receiver, turntable and 2 book shelf speakers. Can check it out at their outlets.

Karlby + Alex is a great combination. The top is solidly built. I even got some aluminum legs to lift the top even further from the Alex. If you've got issues in assembly, can call Ikea to deliver and assemble it for you.

For $30, you might as well find used Sitocas. They're gonna be built to a much better quality than whatever new <$200 particleboard desk out there.

If you don't mind wall mounting your monitor the Ikea Micke table is nice with excellent cable management hidden behind the drawer. Price is SGD99. You may be able to find a second hand deal.

Not all tables are equal. If you gonna use monitor arm, it is particularly important to find the right table. Some first hand tables are cheap because it is not completely wood or very thin.

More table space. More expensive but you get a cupboard.

As mentioned I really like the cable management on this table so I think it is worth the price.

 

[caterham7]

using this, cheap and good

am able to accommodate both a 32-inch and 27-inch monitor; using a mini-pc, so that fits easily also

suitable if u just need a simple 1.2m solid wood table
