The Best Gaming Desks for 2019: 13 Computer Desks for PC Gamers

Lian-Li Case DK-04X

Not only is the Lian-Li DK-04X one of our top choices for the best gaming desk, but it is also one of our top choices for the best PC cases as well. And, while that may sound odd that we’d choose a desk as one of our top options for a computer case, the reality is that this desk from Lian-Li doubles as a computer case!

That’s right, this is not only a desk, but it is also an option to house your computer’s components as well. So, if you’re in the market for both a desk and a computer case (for a new high-end gaming computer), you can kill two birds with one stone by choosing this desk. As a case, it can hold the longest graphics cards on the market, as well as mini-ITX motherboards all the way up to extended-ATX motherboards. And, it can also accommodate the tallest CPU coolers and longest radiators (for liquid cooling) as well.

Of course, paying for this combination won’t be cheap. The DK-04X comes in at just over $1,600. And, while the price might seem exorbitant, especially when you consider that you could get a case and desk separately for a lot less, the DK-04X has one stand out features: it is also an adjustable height desk, too. So, you can use this desk both as a sitting desk and a standing desk.

But, the bottom line is that, if you don’t have an insane budget or you want an option that offers better value for the price you pay for it, then the DK-04X probably isn’t the option for you.

Zuri Ford

Even if you’re a gamer, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need a gaming-specific style of desk. Some gamers don’t like the over-the-top nature of gaming-style desks. And, if you’re one of those people and you’re also looking for a high-end desk, the Zuri Ford might be an option that will catch your eye.

The Zuri Ford is an executive style desk that will work better in the middle of the room, rather than up against a wall. It’s also quite large with total dimensions of 79″ wide, 32″ deep, and 30″ tall. However, the actual desk space isn’t quite as wide as it has a floating top desk piece that comes in at 63″ wide.

Still, though, if you need a larger desk that looks nice and will give you plenty of space, the Zuri Ford will definitely accomplish that for you. The one downside of this desk, though, is its price. it comes in at just under $1,300. So, like the Lian Li desk above, if you don’t have a large budget, you’ll likely want to look elsewhere.

BDI Sequel 6001

BDI is known for manufacturing quality computer desks that are almost constructed as perfectly as high end finished furniture. The Sequel Desk is no exception to that tradition, as it is made from real cherry wood, and the glass on top of the desk is smoked, tempered glass, with a black finish.

This non-glare glass is designed to be scratch and fingerprint resistant, and it is black etched so that you can use your gaming mouse on it without the need for any mouse surfaces or pads.

The retractable keyboard drawer is a multi-stage drawer that is designed with two sections- the initial section is used to keep the mouse and keyboard, while the rear section has compartments for your phone, tablet, power bank, etc. along with charging ports in each compartment. The rear panels made of cherry wood are magnetically locked and can be easily tilted back from the front of the desk, allowing you to access any power outlets behind the desk.

Cable management is built into the desk and allows you to safely run your cables through the desk without exposing them. This results in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing workspace.

The dimensions of this sleek looking table are 60″x24″x29″ for width, depth, and height respectively. It has a “C” shaped body that allows for maximum legroom and reduces mass however it also means there are no supporting columns on the front end of the desk where the keyboard drawer is.

Despite that, there is rarely any wobbling while typing since the aluminum frame is very sturdy. Despite being so slim this desk weighs 146 lbs, which is probably due to the full metal and wood frame.

ApexDesk Elite

If you’re looking for a desk that offers both an extra wide (and deep) surface space, as well as offers height adjustment, then the ApexDesk Elite is probably the option for you. Just note, though, that the Elite is not a cheap adjustable height desk as it comes in at just under $650.

However, it sports a very large 71″-wide and 33″-deep surface space which will give you plenty of room to hold multiple monitors without sacrificing a ton of desk space. And, for the height, the desk can adjust from anywhere between 29″ to 48″ so that you can find the right level for your height.

Ultimately, in terms of adjustable height desks, the ApexDesk Elite is one of the better options simply for its overly large surface space. The cost it comes in at isn’t ideal, but if you need an adjustable height desk that offers a ton of room, this is the option to get.

Ameriwood Pursuit U-Shaped Desk

The Ameriwood Pursuit U-Shaped Desk with Hutch Bundle is a fully functional and aesthetically appealing desk which offers a great solution for work or gaming or a combination of the two. The executive desk consists of four commercial pieces that include the Credenza, Hutch, bridge, and the Pursuit Desk. The four pieces are connected to create a stylish and spacious workstation.

The U-shaped desk is designed to keep your space looking clean and organized. The significant amount of space gives you plenty of room for your printer, gaming laptop, gaming monitor, or even decorative items. The spacious desk area will allow you to move from one task to another with great ease.

The solid engineered wood construction, elegant cherry, and dark gray finish, and the crisp scratch resistant surface set the Ameriwood Pursuit U-Shaped Desk apart from its competition. The water-resistant and durable PVC surface keep the U-Shaped Desk looking new. With this contemporary styling, you can give your office or gaming space a total design makeover.

The hutch is installed with two sliding doors which provide concealed storage for your paperwork, binders, and projects. Finally, you can reduce clutter and ease congestion while remaining classy and elegant. The convenient compartments and the sliding door hutch will enhance your productivity.

The Ameriwood Pursuit U-Shaped Desk weighs approximately 303 pounds and is a really big desk. The desk is 66-inches wide, 65-inches tall, and 95- inches deep.

Arozzi Arena

While there are multiple gaming-specific style desks out there, we feel like the Arozzi Arena is the best gaming-specific option mainly because of the extra width and depth that it offers. Other options out there like the Lian Li D-04X, the DXRacer gaming desk, and the Atlantic gaming desk all offer much smaller surface areas.

However, the Arozzi Arena comes with a surface top that is 63″ wide and 32″ deep, which will give you plenty of space to hold multiple monitors and/or to put your desktop on top of, too.

The other thing I like about the Arozzi Arena is that, from a structural standpoint, it isn’t too over-the-top (whereas DXRacer’s gaming desk is), but the Arena does come in both extreme color schemes and more minimalistic color schemes as well. So, it will work for gamers who want a more extreme look as well as for those who want a more simple look.

Overall, the Arozzi Arena’s extra width and depth make it our choice for the top gaming-specific desk. And, if you’re looking to complete your setup, you might want to consider pairing this desk with a high-end gaming chair as well.

The DXRacer gaming desk is built with a Double Triangle Design which is made of steel to provide toughness and durability. It is also built with an extended workforce which provides the much needed extra support for the arms during extended gaming sessions.

The Team of Engineers thoughtfully placed a 10° slope angle which provides the ideal ergonomic angle for natural comfort. The spacious work surface offers you enough room for you and a place to lay your keyboard and gaming mouse. DXRacer also features a Raised Edge Parameter to secure your items.

The surface of the stylish DXRacer GD/1000/N Gaming Desk is made to feel like leather which adds to its great visual appeal. The finishing is smooth and glossy while still maintaining firmness and durability. If you’re looking for a true gaming-style desk, the DXRacer GD/1000/N is probably the best gaming desk under $400.

Bush Series A

Bush always delivers genuine American manufactured furniture, and the Series A is a nice-looking affordable computer desk. It is sleek and features a minimalistic design with a wooden top and metal frame. The feet are molded ABS plastic with metal inserts and they can be adjusted to improve stability on uneven floors. Its functionality can easily be expanded upon, as it and accepts a keyboard/pencil drawer, a 60″ wide hutch, and up to 3 mobile pedestals under the table top.

As for the tabletop, it is made by thermally fusing laminate wood upon thick particle board, resulting in a sturdy and long-lasting work surface that feels extremely smooth to the touch, and is resistant to stains or scratches.

For all you hardcore PC users and gamers, there are both desktop and leg grommets for easy cable management in order to reduce clutter and facilitate smooth functioning. Both the tabletop and the back sides are finished, so you can confidently place this desk in the center of your room if you wish instead of shoving it away in some corner as you would with any other budget desk.

Edge banding on the rounded edges protects the tabletop from knocks and hits and keeps the smooth finish safe.

Ikea Linnmon

The legs on this IKEA Linnmon Desk may not look particularly sturdy, but they are made from steel and have an epoxy/polyester powder coating on them to protect the legs from corrosion. The table top itself is spacious and simply designed, the fiberboard is coated with a wooden finish that gives it a polished, shiny look as long as you don’t accidentally scratch it while moving your monitor’s metal stand around on the table.

Speaking of monitors, the Linnmon’s table is a full 60″ wide and can accommodate multiple monitors as well as enough room to fit your keyboard, mouse, and a set of speakers. Despite being built from fiberboard and ABS plastic, the table top is sturdy enough to handle 110 lbs of load and due to its plastic nature it will not snap or crack if you go slightly above the maximum limit.

The table is incredibly easy to setup due to its simple design. All you need to do is screw the four legs into place using the screws that are provided, and the table is ready to accept all your precious cargo on its top.

Despite the lack of inter-leg support, the table does not wobble and the adjustable feet come in really handy while setting the table on an uneven floor. The dimensions are 60″x30″x27″ for width, depth, and height respectively.

Atlantic Gaming Desk

Combining both functionality and style, the Atlantic Gaming Desk is packaged and designed specifically for hardcore gamers. This stylish desk for gaming is lightweight and surprisingly strong. It features a silver metallic steel base and a unique carbon fiber finish which makes it quite attractive. That said, the Atlantic Gaming Desk has the main features that make it an ideal choice for the perfect gaming experience.

One nice feature on the Atlantic Gaming Desk is the cable management system. This gaming desk is built for gamers who prefer a clean and tidy looking table. Unlike the other gaming PC desks in the market, this gaming desk keeps things orderly, which in turn leads to more fun. Wires have never looked this neat!

At only 43.6 pounds, this gaming desk is pretty lightweight. The desk is 50 inches wide, 26.5 inches deep, and has a height of 40.25 inches. With the PVC laminate and steel rods, the gaming desk is very stable and can support a monitor weighing up to 40 pounds. You’ll be left with enough space to set up your gaming mouse and keyboard.

Z-Line Claremont

While most other computer tables in the same price range prefer to use laminated wood in order to cut costs, the Claremont pleases us by using real wood for the support columns underneath the table top, as well as the spinal panel in the rear. The glass panel is 6mm thick tempered glass with a smoked finish that is aesthetically pleasing and feels good to work on.

The frame is solid steel with black acrylic paint on top, and the glass panel is screwed to the frame with the help of chrome cylinder supports. Screwed-in glass tops are more stable than glass tops attached to the frame with simple suction cups. The roll-out keyboard drawer is built well and slides smoothly, while it has a nice black border surrounding the edges and is spacious enough for both a large keyboard as well as a mouse.

The table is designed to provide an ample amount of legroom and the dimensions are 47″x24″x30″ for width, depth, and height, meaning that there is enough space on the top for your monitor, speakers and mouse pad. Cable management is not super easy as there is only one cable grommet, in the lower section of the spinal panel. This grommet allows you to connect the monitor and peripherals to the computer cabinet beneath.

All things considered, this table is a great purchase for your home or office and gamers will find it more than enough for their basic gaming rig setup, although advanced gamers and professional Youtube streamers might want to look elsewhere for something with more shelves and cable management options.

Zinus Modern Studio

If you’re strapped for cash, but you need a really affordable desk that will give you a decent amount of space, you might want to consider the Zinus Modern Studio desk. At 55-inches wide, the Zinus Modern Studio desk is about as wide of a desk as you can expect for under $80 (and for under $100, for that matter).

However, the main downfall of the Zinus desk is the fact that it is only 24″ deep. This will be acceptable if you plan on mounting your monitor so that they don’t take up any of the desk space. However, if you plan on placing your monitor on your desk, this might not be the best option as you will be severely limited on space for your keyboard and you’ll be forced to sit incredibly close to your monitor.

Overall, though, if you’re looking for a cheap simple-looking option that will give you a decent amount of width, the Zinus Modern Studio ill be a good option for you.
