New Trend upcoming? Gaming Desks

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/07/2018 08:38 AM | source: sandberg | 42 comment(s)

After the gaming chair trend, or should I say overhyped sales efforts, a new trend could be developing. What goes well with a gaming chair? Yep gaming desks. Sandberg is among the first to release one, luckily it's not RGB enabled, yet. But it does have blue leds on the sides :)

-- Sandberg -- Gamers of all ages have been fighting to get the coolest chair for their gaming setup over the last few years. And now it’s the turn of the desk. An ordinary desk is far too uncool for a highly advanced gaming computer – and of course a mega cool gaming chair. Sandberg is a market leader in chairs and now leads the way with the “Fighter Gaming Desk” in two different colours. Not only does it look cool, but it’s also highly practical. There are built-in cable bushings and concealers to keep the whole thing looking sharp and neat. What’s more, there are blue LED lights integrated into the edges.

The desk weighs a solid 24 kg. As with other Sandberg products, it comes with a 5-year guarantee thanks to a solid metal frame and desktop in thick, painted MDF board. They’re on their way to stores and webshops now! If sales go as well as they did with the chairs, it might be a good idea to get in there early.

Prices are in the 270 EURO range.

Oh no.
This reminds me of those idiotic and useless Dx Racer chairs. Virtually every single clown on Twitch sits in one. Purely genius marketing though for extremely shitty product.

For 270 euro you can buy a nice big beautiful wooden desk, that will be twice as large and easily make holes in it for cable management.

Also, what's with the metal beam in the middle? Is that really necessary? Where are you supposed to put your legs?

Besides a bad design its only 66cm deep. I guess it would be nice for small children.

"Sandberg is a market leader in chairs" << dont think so

For somewhat less than €270, I can have custom made oak table with twice the dimensions and individually adjustable legs.
This is just bullshit.

Great idea but what's up with that f*cking price? They sure know how to push our limits.

I thought that was the kind of desks where you could build your PC into, not just hide the cables... man what a fail. Any Ikea table can do what this does, soon with LEDS too. And they're not even RGB ffs... fail.

Not really new trend. Maybe wish by those making them. But for most of us, it is trash providing far too small space for monitors.

dont think gaming desk going to be trends for various reason
using pc-case even its most of time sit on desk, but its easier to do things compared to desk
like when moving, etc.
other than that, i guess most people already own desk before getting pc

for me personally, even i moving to new house and building new pc, i would still considering to buy using pc-case over buidling it on gaming/pc desk

probably make should make much customization, make it more modular, so user can set up to their own needs

After eating tiepods it seems there is this brand new and exciting trend. Doesn't matter it is laughably small for a table (maybe ok for a cofee table), it also costs more than a custom one. All simply because of the "gaming" brand.

First "gaming" chairs that are horrible for posture, and now gaming desks? What happened to just getting regular old office chairs and desks?

This gaming moniker is annoying, I'm surprised these desks don't have RGB.
