I seriously don't understand the point of this product. You can get almost identical sized desks for under $100. What justification is there to buy this desk at $229.99? It just seems like yet another overpriced product because it has gaming in the name and because it has a gaming look to it.

LifelongCabooseOK, send your name and address to our customer service department at service@akracing.com I'll send you one for free. As long as you agree to buy a $100 desk to compare it to on Amazon or similar where you get free shipping, since our price includes shipping. And then of course, you can make the comparison to the Massdrop community. Deal?

AKRacingAmericaAs much as id 100% love to agree to this, as it would be a fun 1,000 sub post for my Sub reddit this wont sadly work as i dont live in the USA, i live in Canada. Unless you cans still send one over the boarder though shipping and import fees would be a little high and i will pick up a few desks to compare it to that are avalable in Canada and the USA.

LifelongCabooseSure, I can send one desk to Canada. Remember, though, it has to be compared to $100 desk, including shipping to your door, because that is what the offer is to the US customers. Unfortunately, the shipping costs to Canada make it impossible for us to offer to Canada in general. But if you'll agree to those terms you will have a desk next week. I am happy to pay for all costs to get it over the border.

LifelongCabooseHere are some ideas LifelongCaboose... $77 ship to door in USA (4.5 Stars, Same width, but not as deep) https://www.amazon.com/Merax-Modern-Simple-Computer-Workstation/dp/B01M0LV1XN/ref=sr_1_15?s=furniture&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1517590954&sr=1-15&keywords=desk&refinements=p_36%3A-10000%2Cp_85%3A2470955011
$98.25 ship to door in USA (4.5 stars, slightly narrower, slightly less deep) https://www.amazon.com/Contempo-Clear-Computer-Keyboard-Panel/dp/B001K92F30/ref=sr_1_1?s=furniture&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1517591097&sr=1-1&keywords=desk&refinements=p_36%3A-10000%2Cp_85%3A2470955011
Wow, there are a lot of options for under $100... If I had to buy one for under $100, I think I would pick that first one.

GernapiousThat first desk is one I recommend for a lot of people but I think I'm going to do the comparison against the most commonly recommended and cheapest desk, the Ikea Linnmon which is under $50 and still under $100 if you decide to pay for it shipped right to your door. If i can i am goinf to try and get a few other desks in too.

Michael_ Hello Michael, I do have to apologize for the delay in the comparison. I originally had it planned to be finished by now but a bunch of things came up and I haven't even been able to build it yet sadly. I got in a bunch of test samples for products that were not supposed to be here for a couple weeks so I had to work out why they came early and I had some issues in my office and I had to do some renovating and I for a couple more days don't even have enough room for anything, not even my chair I am currently doing all my working standing. Things just kept piling on from lost packages to broken products, along with a bunch of more stuff that I could talk to you more about in an E-Mail. I am working as hard as I can to finish all renos and too clean up my office by the end of tomorrow. Once again I do apologize.

Michael_Thanks for the reply! I'd totally take you up on it in the future. Also yes I am. So much so that I had to re-arrange my PC room to add my consoles so i could play in my chair without dragging it into the living room lol

Michael_Yeah, Monster Hunter is pretty great! Can't wait for the PC release. I recently got into South Park - The fractured but whole (LOL) and it's hilarious. Wish i'd gotten into it sooner! I'm also playing a bit of Showdown- The hunt , which is pretty addictive as well!

Michael_Thought i would shoot an update- closing in on 6 months later and my chair is STILL just as comfy as it was on day 1. Couldn't be happier and i'm so glad I invested in such a quality chair instead of saving a couple bucks on a knock-off. This baby still looks BRAND-NEW after MANY MANY hours of use. Not a tear, not a stretch, not a single impression, NOTHING. Keep up the solid work AKRacing!
