Great DeskVerified BuyerMy son said it could do with a couple more cable holes along the back of the desk top for cable from keyboard etc. Overall extremely good and very pleased.4

Perfect for gamersEmmatoesiesMy son loves this desk. It’s massive when built and looks very cool for a gamer. Downside. For an ikea product, the instructions weren’t that clear and some of the parts are tricky to put together. Overall very sturdy.4
Fiona52This desk is ideal for someone who loves computers! It's well built, easy to assemble, and includes little extras that take the gaming experience onto another level. It also looks stunning! Very pleased!!5
SkyladawnBought this desk for my teenage sons, they helped to build it so that should say how easy it was to build, it looks good and is really functional my boys and myself are very happy with it5
FYI - doesn"t fit a standard mid tower PC caseDrjophineAs others have said the build instructions are a bit odd. The rotating bar that scrapes the metal of the frame - why would you tell someone to do this Ikea?! The picture for this desk shows a tower but I'm guessing it's a mini tower and although the description clearly says make sure and measure up, i feel it's false advertising. I would expect most gamers to have a mid not mini tower. The shelf just needs to be an inch lower and it would be perfect. Very frustrating. Considering all the choices for shelving placement, there's actually very little flexibility in this build. One of my monitors is on a bracket, not a stand, there's no room at the back or side of the shelves for this which means i can't have the shelf just above the desk it's now just under the top shelf. That means there is now less space for the keyboard. Now that's my bad for not checking my usage of it, but just a point to note. Several bits of the metal were twisted on opening the package. This makes building a bit more challenging. There were also misaligned holes. I can't say i find the build wobbly as others have said, feels sturdy enough to me.3
Solid deskklffI put this desk together with my mum, we're seasoned IKEA builders, but we struggled with a couple of the instructions (especially the ones where you have to put a bar in place but not tighten everything because you then have to rotate it... far more complicated than necessary!). We also didn't add the extra 'wings' on the sides, for space saving reasons, and I don't think it loses anything from that. Having had it in situ for a few weeks now, though, I do like it. It creaks a little on the left hand side but I suppose that's to be expected, and I could try tightening a couple of things up to see if that helps. Overall, not what I expected to buy as a desk, but definitely meets my needs.4
Very good deskDamo88The desk is very well made and can be done by one person but its better wiith two people working on it. the desk has everything you need for a gaming desk and more! The only down side to thing in my eyes is the bottom shlefs that should hold your pc, even though my pc fitted on it, it wuld of been impossible for me to install my keyboard mouse or anything else due to the bacl board giving 1cm clearance so ive had to put my pc on the very top shelf. but apart from that im very happy with it!5
Great desk / gaming stationreidslThis might seem a little prices but it's the best deal we have ever had for one of our children my son had this for his gaming station and it's just perfect . Not much more I can add to this it's just what we needed5

Pricey but excellent qualityMark McCArrived in two pretty heavy boxes, so if you're planning to do an upstairs build I'd recommend a second person to help. Some of the early build steps are easier with a second pair of hands, but with patience should be possible solo. Total build time for me was about 3 hours including having to undo a couple of mistakes (there's a crossbeam that screws into the bottom of the main desk surface that is very easy to install upside down, making the screw holes inaccessible several steps later). In use the desk is very stable with loads of room. Even the non-screwed parts like the adjustable speaker shelves are quite sturdy. The holes for cables are a nice touch. The drinks holders are a gimmick and will likely end up being used to hold flash drives, pens, etc. My only minor complaint is that the backboard of the PC shelf blocks access to all the ports on a mid-sized PC tower, meaning all cables have to be connected while the PC is on the floor before being lifted onto the shelf. If you need to regularly plug/unplug stuff this could be a pain, but it would be easy to remove a section of the backboard without compromising the structural integrity of the desk.4
Perfect deskJohn 60Ideal and easy to put together5
Looks better than it performskhowesThis desk may look nice and have plenty of storage space, however this desk can be pretty wobbly. Simple tasks like moving your computer mouse can cause this desk to wobble, even a tiny bit. The way this desk is put together is incredibly frustrating and unusual. It includes parts that are not screwed into anything, they pretty much balance in place. The side panels with pop off eventually.2
Perfect desk for meAshC93I bought this desk a while ago when there were not any reviews for it and it had literally just come out but didn’t get round to writing a review. It is perfect for my use (probably more capable than I need it to be) and I can’t imagine there are many people it wouldn’t do a great job for. Some reviews say it takes hours to put together etc, I am not handy in any way but I did it in around 2 hours. It does come in two very heavy boxes though, I’d suggest doing it with 2 people as the instructions say. I did it on my own though. It’s got cable management holes at the back, it’s easy big enough for two 24 inch monitors maybe more. Speaker stands are fine but if you’re going to use this for music production like I am then I suggest getting some foam insulator pads to soak up some of the vibration as if you have bass very high and volume also high there are some very slight vibrations but I honestly wouldn’t put this as a negative as there are far more expensive desks that rattle far more All in all I would 100% recommend this to anyone in need of a workstation, just mind the dimensions as it’s massive5
Example perfect computer desk.A great full buyerAt first I took my son to buy a few different units to make the right computer desk which was costing about £200 until I saw the complete Freddy computer desk which was a lot better than the one he was originally going to build.5
