Heyho,
I am from Germany and currently moving into a new apartment. I am going to throw out my old desk as it is too low and want to upgrade to a height adjustable one.
While IKEA has some options I wonder whether others have recommendations for solid brands to check out.
I got an Ergolutions PRIMUS Speed several years back. I also mounted their Dual Gasdruck Monitorarm that carries two 32 inch screens. The computer is a laptop though, so it does not add much to the weight. Other than that i always have lots of things laying on my desk as i am not very tidy with it. It works flawlessly and i am quite happy. I also mounted wheels and lots of cable management. Happy to answer questions.
Looks very good - also price wise. I had to look into using melanine instead of real wood, but sounds like that is not a big disadvantage. I love the confident 7 year warranty.
Do you have the PC on top?
Full disclosure, Gemini claims that the frame is actually a rebranded desk frame from a major Chinese OEM called LUMI (Lumi Legend Corporation), but I did not investigate further on that.
As for the plate, you can also get just the frame from Ergolutions and go to your local Baumarkt for a suitable piece of wood for the plate.
I do have my computer on top, but like mentioned, it is just a laptop. Anyway, i believe weight wise there is still heaps of margin and a full tower would not nearly make it sweat.
