Turns out the IKEA Bekant is a wobbly piece of shit, I need a new desk. Anyone have any suggestions for a simple but very solid table?
I too am interested in a new desk, preferably with no draws and can attach a clamp for my monitor arms on the back.
This is the best looking option I've found so far unfortunately:

Unless you did a shitty job building it. I never had wobbly issues with my Bekant.

Buy a 4-set of welded hairpin legs from Amazon, go to a local wood supplier and get a nice piece of hard wood and some thin quatersawn decorative wood for a top.
Shit will cost you less than 200$, be incredibly stable, built to the dimensions you need, look better than >>384942764 while being comparably stable.

The problem with the bekant is that it only has two legs. No matter how tight you lock everything up (I just got done re-assembling it to make sure everything was super tight), the top of the desk will have some give to it. As a result, my monitor and everything else wobble like crazy. I have the 23x55" version which is narrower, so that could be part of it too.
i bought one similar to this from homedepot
cheap, working fine and doesn't look that bad. been using for 2+ years now without any problem

although if you are using a mid to big size tower it won't fit like in the picture, i just put my speaker there and the pc somewhere else
Go to any staples/office depots. They have tables and chairs on sale almost year round

forgot to mention that every time i buy these stuff from ikea or homedepot i did some extra to reinforce them than just the normal assembly to make them last much much longer with extra nail, glue etc
If IKEA's THYGE is anything like their old GALANT desks, try that. I have had one for nearly ten years and while, yeah, it does wobble, I don't even notice it while in the middle of working or playing games.
The 'A' legs are sturdier than 'T' leg desks.

This. Expensive, but doesn't wobble, looks amazing, can hold a ton of shit, indestructible, etc.
