What does this provide that an Ikea task table falls short on?
You know Ikea has tables in black right?

CalaverasgrandeThis has been asked and answered many times in this thread since the introduction of the Arena here at Massdrop. But since we're now at nearly 750 entries, it's difficult to find. The short answer is, the Ikea desk does not have a full surface mousepad, does not have a cable management scheme, does not have support for monitor arms and does not have the weight capacity. Also, when shipping is factored in it is more expensive.

ArozziScottShipping isn't a concern with Ikea, as most folks live within a reasonable distance of an Ikea if they are in a major metro area. The full surface mousepad is the only one of those points that rings true.
Ikea has several SKUs with cable management.

I'm not a huge fan of Ikea stuff in general. I referenced them as other furniture retailers that come to mind are more regional.

Calaverasgrande I live 45 miles from the nearest Ikea. Actually shipping does matter to me since on a bad day it could take me nearly two hours to drive there (LA Metro, closest one is Burbank). Not to mention the crowds shopping there, loading it in your vehicle, etc. In my book having the FedEx driver leave at your front door is very valuable. Especially since this is an 105 lb package. I see that the complete Bekant weighs about 63 lbs and is $209 at Ikea, as one example. I also see shipping to my home is $120.
Yes, they have recently added cable management on some models. When we originally introduced ours they did not have that. Sorry I missed that, it was not intentional. You can also see and buy ours at Fry's, Micro Center, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Electronics Express, Abt and other retailers.
