How to get it
Raise the large, sturdy UTESPELARE gaming desk to a height that optimally suits you. The metal mesh at the back of the table top allows air to circulate and cool your PC when the match heats up.
Article Number105.715.32
Product details
The height of the legs can be adjusted manually to 6 different heights from 68 to 78 cm, so that you can always sit at a comfortable height.
You can position the table top in two different ways. If you have the contour shape facing forwards, you enjoy relief for forearms and wrists – and having it at the back creates a gap where you can lead all the cables down.
The metal mesh at the back of the desk allows air through that cools your PC and is so sturdy that you can even clamp a pair of monitor arms to it.
It should be comfortable to play, especially when a match drags on. That’s why the table top is deep – so you can position screens at a comfortable distance from your eyes.
It’s easy to keep the desk neat and tidy by using the cable management net under the table top.
Goes well with the matching UTESPELARE gaming chair.

Great office desk Anonymous reviewerSize allows for 2 large monitors and still room
Watch out for saggingAnonymous reviewerI’ve had the desk for over a year, and have only now just noticed that with time the centre of the desk is sagging. I haven’t put much weight on it either within this time, just my monitor that’s been placed in the middle.
It’s noticeable because of the gap that houses the cable basket, behind the gap is the steel section, and in front of the gap is the wooden desk itself. So now with the sagging of the desk, the height no longer sits at the same height as the steel section at the back.
It’s cheap, and I’ve found it to be quite sturdy. But if it’s going to sag after a years use, I would t recommend it. Get something else with a more stable centre that’s able to take the weight of your monitor.
Excellent product Anonymous reviewerVery good quality, perfect size
Very wobblyAnonymous reviewerAfter just 3 months of use the desk became super wobbly, especially when typing/gaming. I've tried the recommendations under other feedbacks, the floor is even, screws are in place, but still it just.. wobbles. The mesh part came wonky as well, which I noticed too late. I would not recommend this desk for everyday usage, the design is nice, but unstable. :(
Great deskAnonymous reviewerDoes what it says on the tin. It is a desk. It is as pictured, with the dimensions as listed. I like the big size of the desk and the pouch for holding wires. The pouch is machine washable; I've put it in the washing machine 1400 spins at 40°C and it came out fine.
Just note that the desk is pretty heavy! I assembled it on my own (I am not very strong) but would recommend you assemble it with a friend/family member if possible.

ExcellentAnonymous reviewerExcellent desk, superb value for money
Perfect!Anonymous reviewerReally happy with the size and functionality of this desk. Perfect for my use.
Solid DeskAnonymous reviewerThis desk hasn't disappointed. Its height is adjustable which makes it perfect to find the right height. It easily holds my 3 32" monitors. I centre which sits over mesh and the 2 others on side edges at angles. Still with plenty of space for laptop in middle, a keyboard and mouse. It's sturdy and holds very well. Also has a great cable tidy hanging under desk towards back so see no cables underneath.
Greater gaming deskAnonymous reviewerThe picture instructions are incomplete so don’t screw large screws into corner. I worked it out eventually!
Computer desk Anonymous reviewerSon had this for work and gaming. Easy to put together did it all by himself took 30 mins start to finish. Looks really nice. Big enough to work on very impressed
HomewareAnonymous reviewerThis desk is very good quality would definitely recommend it but always measure 1st to make sure it fits in the space as it’s very long and wide as well
Amazing desk but...Anonymous reviewerI've had about 3 desks prior to this one and this is easily the best one in terms of looks, quality, sturdiness and size for value, however one thing I see absolutely no one talk about is how annoying and useless the mesh back part is.
Ikea says that its for 'airflow to your computer' but if that's the case then its pathetic, i have my system facing vertically and it takes up over half of the mesh and has done almost nothing for ventilation.
Not to mention that you can only mount your monitor arms on the mesh's support beams as the placing it on the mesh alone just causes it to sag (and potentially break), yes the support beams work and are pretty sturdy for mounts but in my case my main display's monitor mount doesn't allow my monitor to be centred so I had to drill a wooden plank underneath the mesh to be able to hold up the monitor.
I'd really like Ikea to release a wooden replacement for this mesh back part for the ones like myself that don't care much for the mesh back plate.
Fantastic, sturdy and versatile. Anonymous reviewerA good price and easy to build and looks lovely in our new study. Could do with a little extra length on the existing adjustments on the desk legs but that is probably because our floor isn’t very even.
Gaming tableAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble, solid build quality and exactly what my son wanted.
Good desk... for 5 minutesAnonymous reviewerDesk is large, comes with cable management, etc. Good product except it has a huge design flaw.
Who thought it was a good idea to not have any supporting beam under the wooden top at the back of it? It only has support on the front so the wood just sags after a while due to lack of support at the back.
VERY WOBBLY - monitor moves with typingAnonymous reviewerThis desk is too lightweight to maintain any sort of rigidity, so even when I am casually writing in my journal I can feel the desk moving un my minute hand movements. Typing is a whole other issue entirely!! Definitely do not recommend if you are annoyed by a monitor wobbling around as you type. Mine also came with holes that were drilled too far away for the screws to line up, but I am quite sure it would wobble anyway.
If you've got space, one of the best desk designs i've foundAnonymous reviewerBought this to replace a 20 year old desk that decided it was time to give up. I had some empty space in the corner of my room after decorating, and this desk pretty much perfectly matched the dimensions of the area I needed.
The desk is really easy to assemble and can be done within an hour if you're good at manual assembly. The underneath cable net is a great addition, i'm running most of my cables in that and from the desk down.
In my case, i've found that the desk is wide enough for dual 28" monitors and a Mid-Tower PC to fit on the desk with room to spare. So it is much more than enough space for most people. The rear section is perfectly level to sit the monitors further back as well if you have a larger keyboard or need to use the desk for something else.
