Ikea computer desk

[Zerospace]

Hi anyone here use ikea linnmon table as a computer desk ? Is it strong enough to put a mid tower computer case on it ? Ikea website says the top is finished using acrylic paint, does it scratch and wear off easily ? Anyone using this table can leave some comments on this ?

Not sure about the finish, but I can add that this is prone to warping/sagging over time cos this is their cheapest type of top (Hollow inside, with cardboard), also lacks a underframe.

What you can do is add a middle support leg (to support weight of a monitor), and place the chassis closer to the edge of the desk so that more of the weight is above the legs. Should last longer without sagging.

Example I found:

It won't collapse, just sag very slowly over years. I have the previous gen. Most ppl use it as throwaway furniture when they move into dorms/rental place. Use 3-4 years, when time to move, throw. Not long term, unless very light usage like laptop.

Must buy solid wood from IKEA but very expensive.

This style table top is not really wood. Air + cardboard

Rather spend more to get a more solid table than the whole table collapsing. You might get a shock when you have to replace monitor and cpu.

Omg cardboard inside. I was looking at Linnmon table coz its depth is 60cm and low cost. The rest of the tables have depth of more than 60cm which will be too big for my small room.

Honeycomb support actually quite strong.
