To recap: Remember last year’s announcement that Ikea was joining forces with Asus to create affordable player-oriented furniture? The first wave of these products fell in China and includes some very elegant pieces.
In September, we heard that the first products from the Asus’ Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand and the Swedish furniture giant’s partnership would initially launch in China in early 2021. As promised, reasonably priced items are now available on parents.
One of the most interesting and expensive offers is a game table (top) that features motorized height adjustments, allowing users to select the ideal position and save four preset heights. Reaching a maximum of 47 inches from table to floor, this 3,999 Yuan (~ $ 618) piece of furniture can be used as a vertical table.
For those looking for a more traditional and cheaper option ($ 92), the Utespelare game table (above) has six height-adjustable settings and a metal grille on the back for enhanced heat dissipation.
Elsewhere, there is a $ 12 computer tower stand with casters to move these giant devices, and the $ 154 gaming chair looks very good, although it is cheaper than most similar products.
Ikea is also offering a stylish $ 15 earphone holder, a $ 30 pegboard to store all your accessories, and a $ 7.50 mug holder that can be locked on a table, preventing spills scalding.
Be sure to check out the $ 23 “Multifunctional Cushion / Blanket”, which appears to combine a cushion, blanket and coverall in one item, allowing players to keep their hands warm while loading screens and long scenes.
Asus ROG furniture will hit “other Ikea markets” starting in October.
