IKEA x ASUS ROG Furniture for Gamers: First Look
IKEA and ASUS ROG announced a collaboration last September, for furniture and accessories targeted at gamers. The first products from this combine are out. From what we can tell, IKEA has given some of its existing home-office and garage furnishings an ASUS ROG trim, but we can also spot some new creations. Among the gear IKEA showed off are standing desks (both manual and motorized), wheeled desktop tower case stands, mats for your gaming chair, peg-boards with pegs, hooks, and Velcro straps for various kinds of hardware and peripherals; wheeled chests of drawers, and other accessories. What we're yet to see from IKEA x ROG, though, is a proper gaming chair. Perhaps one is in the works, since it would have to be a clean-slate design.

While you can find some good deals there if you look carefully, far too much of it will wear out too quickly. Proper office chairs is certainly the way to go. But even the Ikea "office chairs" are really low quality compared to real office chairs. Such Ikea chairs will not last long with heavy use (10h+ per day). I've seen far too many of these break.
People who want "cheap" office equipment should not go to Ikea, they should go to someone selling second-hand office equipment.

My plan these days is to find some quality desk underframes, and then find some B/C quality countertop of solid hardwood, give them a couple of coats of lacquer, resulting in some nice durable desks. Even Ikea used to have some very affordable solid oak countertops.
What is this, the 1980's?
