The desk feels pretty stable even with a heavy load (I keep my PC on the desk rather than near the floor) and when leaning against it even when elevated. The max height gives plenty clearance to actually allow you to make changes under the desk whilst seated, an unexpected boon. 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.

Love the desktop. Its "solid" - I am not concerned about the structure integrity. I am going to use a desk pad to avoid "wear" in heavy used areas. Gamers globally know and love the ROG brand and they trust it to deliver the most exciting gaming innovations in the market,” says Kris Huang, General Manager of the ASUS Gaming Gear and Accessory Business Unit. “Our new partnership with the experts at IKEA will allow ROG to find new and interesting ways to delight gamers in and around the home.” The difficulties in construction give me slight concern for the longevity of the desk, as it may be introducing unintended strain, but I guess I'll have to see how it holds up.The height of the electric underframe can be adjusted from 72 to 120 cm, so you can always sit or stand at a comfortable height. So far, the actual functioning of the desk has been great, the travel is smooth and the control unit lets you set and record fairly precise height increments. The armrests follow your movements and can be adjusted in height, which reduces strain on your arms and shoulders. The rest of the series have been developed by IKEA based on the insights and knowledge gained from the collaboration to ensure the width of the total gaming offer and to meet the various needs of gamers in terms of function, design and price.

I have had standing desk converters off and on over the years with a recent Varidesk Proplus 48. While it was roomy enough, the wobble drove me batty. I looked at several different desks but landed on the Uppspel after significant agony and research. At IKEA, we know a lot about smart home furnishing solutions, but we are novices at gaming. So, how to create a properly high-performing gaming range? To contribute to a better everyday life for all gamers, IKEA partnered with ROG (Republic of Gamers), an ASUS sub-brand, keeping the leading position in gaming industry and designing high quality, innovative hardware and gear for gamers. ROG has in-depth knowledge of the gaming industry and want to find new ways to make gaming blend into the home. Combining the best of these two worlds, the collaboration aimed to democratise the gaming experience, by creating relevant, functional, beautiful and affordable products and complete gaming solutions to make it easier for everyone to create the setup and the home they want. Do you usually sit or stand when playing, or something in between? You can pre-set this desk at four height positions and easily change the height with the touch of a button.

Wobble - there is some when its fully extended and I am typing (I am 6'1) but its minor. Sitting, there is no wobble (nor would I expect any). ts 1000% better than my converter. I do think it would be more noticeable if my monitors were on arms - they will remain grounded on this desk.
