Summary

Together with a new collaborating partner, Republic of Gamers, IKEA will launch the first series of products designed specifically for the gamers to bring the comfort of gaming experience to a new level.

Republic of Gamers (ROG) is one of the leading brands in gaming industry, designing high quality, innovative hardware and gear for gamers. By teaming up with ROG, IKEA wants to combine home furnishing knowledge with ROG’s expertise in creating exceptional gaming experience. Together, we set out to help the many gamers (and their families) welcome gaming home through developing the new range of affordable and ergonomic gaming furniture & accessories, designed to increase performance while also blend in beautifully to homes.

The new gaming range is developed in IKEA Product Development Centre in China, Shanghai. As a starting point for the product development process, IKEA and ROG designers and engineers had several workshops together with professional gamers and gaming lovers in Shanghai to explore home furnishing needs of gamers and identify the list of functions needed to secure a high quality gaming experience at home.

 

My thoughts

Interoprability with RGB controllers would be nice. If anybody can break the market and bring decent quality products for a decent price it's IKEA, so it would be nice to have a nice desk without having to break the bank.

Of course we also have the Logitech x Herman Miller desk chair..

This honestly just feels like ASUS ROG was jealous of Logitech and was like "well uh.. we can also get a furniture manufacturer to work with us!"

Should be something cool to see, but I still don't believe it will be cheap. Asus want their coins and won't be going for no bottom deals, haha.

Honestly IKEA isn't crap in every country

In mine, the quality of IKEA is actually quite good, albeit a bit pricey

While the quality maybe is subjective, you know that their stuff is mostly the same anywhere right? They're the McDonald's of furniture...!

The desk I'm sitting at rightnow I bought at IKEA. A decent workshop bench/desk would cost me 600+ euro, but i don't need that. My desk cost me 60 euro's. It's scuffed, marked and here and there broken. For a 60 euro desk, the quality is good enough. IKEA also has 300+ euro desks which can compete with the 600+ euro desks from other brands.

And lets be honest, IKEA makes their stuff in China. Let's not preternd other brands don't do the same.

2 years ago I searched through most of the "bespoke" "custom" "oak" and all that jazz furniture stores for an item I needed, the price I got quoted was £2700 I was on a time table, my Wife was coming out of hospital about to start home dialysis and our living room was being turned into a bedroom for her, complete with full entertainment system and a 55" UHD TV at a range from her chair equivalent to a 28" monitor on a desk, I had Oculus rift, Xbox one X, Ps4 and a gaming computer I built, plus her crafting items, I managed to get a wall unit from Ikea that cost £399 fit a 5ft by 5ft wall alcove, including a set of cupboards for all her medical equipment. I built it in a night (2am by the time I finished).

 

Now three years later that unit is still behind me (you see it when I stream) the room is now my living room after my Wife died in 2018, it is still solid and now sits my LG 55" ps4, Xbox one X and gaming equipment.

 

The point of this story is that unit is NOT garbage and will probably outlast me, it is rigid in construction and very well designed.

Fair enough, though that's why I said it's subjective.

Can you give me a link to your Ikea, I'm just curious because I was under the impression ikea is really 90% the same anywhere (only compared north america with europe though tbh)

That's also not wrong though quite a few things here are actually made here too (though that's definitely not a guarantee of quality either)

^ made, not just "designed" ,made in germany... (sorry it might be a bit dusty...)

 

Though also those can often go in the 1000s € easily, tho this wasn't, more like 300 (discounted) iirc

 

PS: the boxes are from Ikea, of course 😅

I don't shop IKEA online, I walk in

Malaysia is the country

 

I believe they manufacture some products here because Malaysia does produce furniture from scratch, so the quality of furniture here may be higher

That is really the problem with Ikea isn't it. If it's full wood, metal, glass it might be decent but it often isn't and indeed barely more durable than cardboard (and if it's higher quality it's of course also rather expensive)

 

I got 2 really old halogen lamps from them... Great design, quality is god damn awful, they both make buzzing sounds constantly plus something that sounds like dripping water lol... Incredible. I don't really use them anymore, but those 2 lamps alone speak a lot of the"quality" of their products...
