Product details

3-year warranty. Read about the terms in the warranty brochure.

The workstation is extra comfortable to work at, because the contoured table top allows you to sit close and supports your wrists and forearms.

Keep your coffee, beverage or snacks nearby in the cut-out cup holders on either side of the table top. The cup holders are made of plastic that is approved for use with food.

Hang the small shelves inside or outside the side panels, depending on your needs.

You can fit a 32" computer monitor or TV by removing the shelf above the table top.

The high side panels help block sunlight and prevent distracting glare on your computer monitor.

best gaming desk across the board.Jose AntonioI use to build and design my own desks. but I recently moved to an apartment and I needed something that will cater to my gaming needs. having a modular shelf system really drew me closer in to purchasing Fredde gaming desk. Build quality is great! sturdy and doesn't wobble. It's quite pricey but once you assemble and finally get to use it. the price actually make sense. I'll upload some videos on Youtube for an update soon! watch out for the IKEA shoutout!5
Almost PerfectMelissaI'm not a gamer, but this desk is the perfect size for someone who uses dual monitors like I do for work. The only issue we had when putting it together was adding the thin, metal side panels. They're flimsy and when we moved the desk one fell off and bent at the corner. I opted to leave them off. Also, the bars/ cross beams weren't clearly marked on which way to install them.4
Great desk!CherylA bit challenging to put together, but we managed and it is a really great desk for my son who is both a gamer and in college. He is very happy with this desk.5
This one is a sellerNishaWe loved this desk for my teenager and holds up his gaming pc and various accessories. It's versatile and solid built. Easy to assemble. I don't know why people have difficulty with that. My 13 year old put it together with no help.5
$360 PaperweightHughBought this desk 2-3 years ago in anticipation of a major household move. Move kept getting delayed but recently happened. Was REALLY looking forward to assembling this desk as I loved the look and feel of it when I saw it in the showroom. Fast forward to this past weekend. After inventorying the hardware to make sure I had what I needed, I did, I began assembling. Got stuck on Step 2. Two rails that are used as cross members were not there. And I can't go forward. Now I have a paperweight taking up valuable space that I don't have and have to find an alternative ASAP as I really need my computer and I threw away my previous desk. I understand hardware missing, things like that happen. But two complete cross members? No, that's beyond the pale. ESPECIALLY with a signed QC sheet with it. I'd give it minus 360 stars (one for each dollar I've apparently wasted on this thing) if I could.1

Perfect Gamet DeskPaulienSturdy, well built and designed - perfect for my teenage son.5
Missing partsEmilyStuck on Step 1 of the assembly instructions because one of the screws is not threaded at all. Unbelievable! $370 desk where is the quality control?!1
Poor qualityDmitriPoor quality1
Awesome deskJoshuaGreat price perfect desk5
Is really nice, but hard to buildMiriamIt was pretty easy and all the screws went in until the part where you afix the desk top. You had to fit a screw in this tiny hole and then it screw its blindly into another hole deeper in the desk. The pieces on the sides were very hard to put in it and we could never get them to quite fit all the way but the outcome is workable. That said, love the desk now that it’s built.4
rock solidStevenWe picked this bad boy up pre built. Solid built desk with plenty of room for expansion for the gamer. Great study desk too.5
Great desk with small problemRodrigoThis is my go to desk for gaming thanks to the cut in, but the problem I have with this desk is that the cups for the cup holder do not fit into the cut outs. I have been trying to get them to go in, but the harder I try the more I think I will end up breaking the desk4
Mostly greatJuliaIt's a great desk and my son is happy with it. But it has a couple extras that are rather cheap - both looking and feel. Nix the extras and it's a great desk?4
Nice desk but won’t work with any PCLilianaWay too many steps to put together but if you first read all the steps you will be able to identify and rearrange the steps to your convenience, so is more efficient process. Quality is good. Materials are heavy. The stands don’t work for every PC. My son’s custom made didn’t make it. The design itself requires to be updated as current features for PS5 and other tech items (eg microphones) don’t fit in the right way. If you have patience and basic stuff will work ok.3
No Monitor ArmsSabeenThe desk is great to sit on, love the cut out so you can tuck into it. I use the shelves on the legs as fancy leg rests to lounge. However, when you do want to be ergonomic, you need monitor arms and you cannot C-Clamp arms to this. the Monitor shelf is not attached in anyway. It's cheaply made. A few screws and slightly different design would've helped a lot. Also the hooks up top are behind the monitor instead of over to the side. So they are uncomfortable to reach. The cup holders are tiny and do not hold any cup. Why would anyone throw food in there (as they are supposedly intended) when they don't come out to wash.The metal up top warps, at least it does in the store displays, hasn't happend yet to my shelves.3

Good desk, but the diagrams aren’t good enough and we have 30 yrs + experienced IKEA “builders”KimMy husband and I have put together all types of IKEA furniture. THIS was the toughest. Don't build it on the floor….and you definitely need two people. As soon as you can stand it up, do so: The build is easy then. The black anti glare side panels clip in easily along with the support shelf bracket clips in the same slots on the uprights. Trust me on this. I have read online chats where people cant figure out where to put the metal clips. I wish IKEA would spend just a little bit of time labeling up/down and left/ right and adding just a little text to their insidious instructions. They would save their customers so much aggravation. This took us 2 hrs to build ( no breaks ). We bought for the kiddo’s 10th Birthday, along with a very cool gaming chair. Our son picked it out on a trip to IKEA, but it was a complete surprise. He is thrilled. Looks really good with his PS5. I think IKEA could offer a larger version of this desk for bigger monitors and/or triple monitor format.4

Getting gaming right

If you’re not in to computer gaming yourself, perhaps you have children who are. Across the world, gaming is booming, and naturally IKEA should provide furniture designed for it. So how do players set up a game station to create that immersive gaming experience, what do they need to feel comfortable and supported while playing? When creating FREDDE desk we needed to know. How we found out? We asked a gamer.

David Wahl is not only one of our designers. He’s a gamer too. Of course he got the task. “When I started playing video games you'd have to make sure your friends were free, and someone’s house was free, then make your way down the street, console in hand to play,” David says. “Now, it's just as likely that you're playing with people in Shanghai or Sydney or Stockholm.”

Creating a gaming command central

One of the advantages of gaming's move beyond the TV or the family computer is that gamers are free to make a space customized to enjoy each game's full potential. “A big part of gaming is the immersive experience,” David says. “So my first move when designing FREDDE was to make a cut out in the desktop so that you could be closer to the screen and have almost a command central sort of feel, while also getting support for your arms at the same time.”

Made to be customized

FREDDE fits speakers, a 32" screen, or a couple of smaller screens on a height adjustable shelf. David also had a personal wish. “I used to love playing driving simulator games where you would often use pedals, the same as a car,” he says. “I always found it annoying if you had cables or other things in the way when you were driving so I made sure to design the desk with an unobstructed space for pedals on FREDDE.”

A designer's proudest moment

David is proud to see the gaming community making the desk their own. “If you do an image search for FREDDE it's fantastic to see how people are adapting it to create their own perfect game space, which is exactly in tune with what I hoped.”

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.

Function solution

Just right for you

You can customize FREDDE workstation in many different ways so it’s perfect for playing games, surfing or studying. You can adjust the height of the monitor shelf, hang the speaker shelves inside or outside the side panels, and keep your CPU safe and out of the way on a shelf under the workstation.
