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.
