    I wish more desks had the ability to convert from sitting to standing, so that would be a Con for me.

    What a terribly over priced basic desk design. The only pro would be the style because there isn't many desks that have a carbon fiber look, I can make any desk have a headset hook by buying a 68cent anchor from walmart and drilling it in the metal/wood.

    I agree. I see nothing indicating a $200 price point. No drawers, keyboard tray or stand for your PC.

    As a grown man I would honestly be embarrassed to have this piece of "furniture" (I use that term lightly) in my home. Looking at the sides of the desk one has to assume this is marketed and designed for the 6-14 age group?

    A Real gamer desk would include the following
    A beer holder or something that fits a energy drink if you are a wuss
    Built in tissue box (for those lonely nights, or when you need to de-stress from a failed dungeon run)
    Right Side mounted fire extinguisher because you "were warned putting a 980ti with a 280 watt PSU was a bad idea)
    Left Side mounted porta potty, because walking 12 feet to the bathroom is a hassle
    Mini Fridge foot rest sold separately

    I have replaced my home office and work desks with standing desks 3 years ago. Never looked back.



    Oh nice, which ones did you buy?

    Here's my own desk, made it myself.

    There are a few "gaming desks" that also utilize hydraulics so you can change the height of the desk.  I toyed with a few of them.  Similarly to this desk, aside from the hydraulics they didn't have any storage or keyboard trays.  

    I think in comparison, it's good to have the added functionality as long as the price isn't way overblown, but, I do think this desk looks pretty good. They do have desk accessories to raise your monitor, keyboard and mouse, but it defeats the purpose of getting a desk like this that is built around a style.  I would have liked to have seen some more options for this desk to have at least some storage.  I'm not a big racing guy, but I like the carbon fiber.

    I made the same exact switch. It is so much nicer to be able to stand or sit during gaming whenever you need to!

    I like the simplicity of it, but those decals... reminds me of the racecar bed that I wanted when I was 6.

    Looks like this guy used similar parts from ikea! http://www.pcgamer.com/a-year-of-pc-gaming-with-a-standing-desk/

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
