Top Gaming Desks in 2023: Some Options

For those of you looking with a little bit of storage space and for something that will complete your home-office look, the Dakota is a great fit for the home or office environment.

This is best fitted for people who have an empty corner for a gaming computer desk to fit in. While the PC gaming desk comes with two open bookshelves, you can fit in movies, CDs, video games, mini-towers or other things in there as well. It’s a strong gaming computer desk that can hold up to a considerate amount of weight as well.

The instructions to assembly are very clear, and come with illustrations, and show clearly where each part is supposed to go.

It takes two people and about 45 minutes to assemble the gaming computer desk. You’d need multiple tools to need for assembly including a Phillips head screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, and a small mallet or hammer. You need to arrange all these tools by yourself. It is advisable that you don’t use power tools when operating on particle board or MDF, instead manually tighten everything.

The PC gaming desk has enough space to keep a variety of components such as a PC monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. As this is an L-shaped desk, you can use one part of it for gaming and the other for studying or office work.

The finish of the gaming desk is good enough for its price and if you’re worried about scratches, order the black color so they can be covered up later. It is about 28.3 inches high, while that will suit most people, it might not if you’re very tall. You can rest assured that it will last a long time. The grommets are useful to manage wires.

However, it’s easy to damage the gaming desk as the wood is not very hard, so keep that in mind. Make sure you tighten up the screws straight or they will damage the wood.

Coming in at #9 is one of the most clear-cut and dry tables we have on our list. The reason we included it as a great PC gaming desk is that it’s highly portable with the easy fold mechanism and it’s relatively cheap. It’s also multi-purpose and very light-weight, so you can take it to family gatherings, use it for a garage sale or in the home as well.

We know this table looks a bit boring, especially for hardcore gaming, but don’t judge this book by its cover. This table is loved by thousands of customers and therefore it deserves a serious look from you. The first remarkable thing is that it is very cheap.

You could buy four of these for what you pay for an average PC gaming chair. The second great feature is that you can adjust its height in three settings: 22 inches, 29 inches, and 36 inches. So whether you’re short or tall, this one will not disappoint you. The table top is 48 inches by 24 inches in dimension.

You can not only use this as a gaming chair but also take this to family picnics, barbecue feasts party at your friends’ house, etc. This is perfect for “weekend woodworkers” who like to play around with tools. You can also use it as a workbench when decorating your house for festivals.

On such occasions, it’s the highest setting of 36 inches will let you pick up tools without bending down and will provide comfort to your back. Another great feature is its small footprint. However, some customers have reported that the chairs wobble slightly at the highest height setting.

Another drawback is that adjusting the height is a bit hard and needs more than two hands. Also, the tabletop surface isn’t very smooth for writing, but for gaming, it won’t be a problem.

Features

• Easy fold mechanism for when you’re on the go
• Holds a durable amount of weight and is very strong
• Has a carrying handle for transportation

Pros

• Holds a couple of monitors plus other peripherals

While this gaming computer desk doesn’t follow the minimalist design that some of the others on our list do, this tabletop glass desk is one of the most highly reviewed desks on the list and it comes with a lot of great functionality for an office space desk.

It’s great for any function though, as it could be great for a PC gaming desk as well as in the right room. This is another L shaped desk which is ideal for corner placement and saving room.

The Z-line has a 6 mm clear tempered glass which not only looks great but is also durable. The desk weighs 94.6 pounds, so it’s clear that you need someone’s help in handling and assembling it. The assembly is easy and the instructions are detailed and easy to follow.

With the dedicated shelf for monitors, strong metal construction, and glass top, the desk certainly appeals to a hardcore gamer. The appearance is simple and elegant. Only after using this desk, you would realize what a fine piece of engineering this is.

The design of the legs is also different and more stylish than other desks in this segment. There are four mainframes made of steel, which make the desk strong and durable.

One remarkable achievement of the Z-line Belaire is the Corner Filler Glass. Despite there being no support at the back of the arc, the sticker on the glass says the shelf can hold up to 50 lbs. The square tube metal support doesn’t wobble or bow when you put your things on it.

The corner glass is strong enough to hold up even a heavy printer if the need arises. However, the glass easily takes on any fingerprints or dust, but it can be cleaned easily also.

Overall the Z-line desk is great in design with contemporary looks, easy to set up, inexpensive, very spacious, strong and durable, and ultimately is a good piece of engineering. And it’s lifetime warranty is an icing on the cake, that can help you build trust with the brand.

This desk isn’t the easiest desk to move but it comes with a very unique look that you don’t see in a lot of homes. It almost has an industrial or garage look to it with the steel black hole plating. One of the unique things about this glass table top is that it’s smoked with a nice black finish.

The only downside to that is that stains do appear easier on these kinds of tops.

This is another good gaming computer desk from Homcom with a slightly larger length. The desk looks really contemporary and stylish with many design parts such as the grills across its legs and the black glasses with two holes on its sides that give it a high-tech look.

Clearly, the best-looking desk on our list with a modern feel. The desk is 64.5 inches on the longer side of the L and 54.5 inches on the shorter one.

The instructions manual for assembly is a bit confusing. It takes two people to assemble this desk. The company provides a couple tools for assembly but they prove to be rather useless.

The gaming computer desk has a solid steel frame with powder coating and doesn’t wobble at all. It will perfectly fit small rooms and provide enough space for putting your gaming or work equipment.

The weight limit of the long table is 110 lbs. and that of the short table is 66 lbs. which is a lot. Like the 61-inch Homcom desk, this one also comes with a dedicated shelf for CPU underneath.

Overall, this is a great ‘value for money’ product with large space (enough to put three monitors and other stuff), a contemporary design, strong build, and dedicated spots for your keyboard and CPU.
