Gaming Desk

[Salex]

Hi guys, can anyone recommend a local site where I can get a gaming desk. I've seen plenty available on amazon, etc but nothing locally.
It's quite surprising that there are so many gaming chairs readily available but a desk is hard to come by.
Check attached picture to get an idea of what im interested in.

Tnx guys!

Tnx for the heads up, I just searched ggwp and found goodgamewellplayed.co.za but they look more like an esports marketing site.
A few of my colleagues went to rage today will check with them tomorrow if they saw the same company there.

Keep the suggestions coming guys

I agree but importing would be a killer

Damn so im assuming that means you didnt see the gaming desks there?

@Salex just a heads up i think the lowest price they had on offer for a desk was 14k? and they will customize it slightly for you but thats about it

 

[SILTECH786]

14k for a local desk ! Why is IKEA not in SA ffs

What's your budget?

 

[Off-The-Chart]

just buy a normal desk and add a bunch of LED strips

VOILA!!!! Gaming desk

 

[Salex]

What's your budget?

It WAS R2000, but now it's spiraling out of control... probably 4k max

 

[Toxxyc]

And what are your requirements? You can barely get a quality desk or small table for R2k, mind you, nevermind a "gaming desk".

I think that when I come back to my senses I'll just get a standard R800 table from makro which I was looking at initially

The pic I sent in the first post was 180 dollars. So was basing my budget on that

It'll probably be quite flimsy then, if you ask me. A good desk will run into the ~R1.5k mark for material alone, so keep that in mind. Personally I'd go for a more solid desk made with thicker steel and then have the option to bolt stuff onto it, like a screen mount and so on. I think @ViVception was looking for something a while back - maybe check with her what she ended up with?

 

[Spaffy]

Get a normal desk and have @Fox22743 kit it out for you with RGB

Basically I just need something to put a monitor on (looking to get one of those samsung ultrawide curved 34 inch ones) but getting tempted by the aesthetics of those funkier desks

Red apple (brand) deskz are nice around the 3/5k region also get a cheapy yet decent type at decofurn lol ....

I found a nice minimal desk at MRP Home a few months ago. Cost R900. No drawers or anything. Just the tabletop and legs on the sides.

Edit: Sadly no rgb

Probably not the answer you were looking for but for 4k you can build something waaaaaaaaay more decent and sturdy than you can buy, and because you are building it yourself you can customise it to suit your needs, i am currently in the process of building a desk for two PCs, for myself and my son. The desks dimensions are 2600mm x 800mm, price on the wood was about 2k, and i spent another 2k on paint, paint can be a lot cheaper but for what i decided to go with i had to spend 2k (that includes a MS primer spray gun and a base-coat clear-coat spraygun)

My biggest gripe with buying a desk is that you never find something that suits your exact needs, I've attached a pic, the table is still raw, i will start painting tomorrow. The drawers sections are 500mm wide each and that leaves 1600mm space between them for chairs

PS yes i know i need decent chairs
PSS excuse the inflated mattress, was checking if it was fine for rage
PSSS yes it was designed to accommodate RGB lighting
