Less feature then my current desk, except for desk space. How do they get off charging 299.99 for it, not to mention 399.99 at full price...
Why are all companies trying to make insane overhead on everything. I'd bet a lot that these cost less then 100 bucks to make.

KramitHey there, I’d actually like to see your desk and know what materials it’s made out of and what features it has. Send some pics and specs here. Thanks!

Clutch ChairzDidn't realize you sent this, my apologies.
However, it is a standard fiberboard with laminate covering, the same material I believe your topper is made with. One side has 3 shelves and a slide-out keyboard tray, which I don't particularly like, but it is a feature nonetheless. It is the definition of a cheap desk. Your desk here has more surface area. However, the price reflects my desk perfectly, as it was 40 dollars. Companies like you take cheap products that don't nearly deserve the price tag add "gamer" to the name and believe that is the effort created. On top of that this specific desk shares the exact same design as several others including the "Arozzi Arena", you have the extra middle piece to make it wrap around. However, that full set up costs 1000 dollars! One thousand dollars... It's disgusting. Also, exactly what about this desk is "ergonomic" the slight curve of the facing edge? It is a pretty far stretch of the word "ergonomic". The standard "Ikea" desk of Alex Drawer systems and whichever topper they choose offers much more for the money, and costs less. Mind you, when I said "I'd bet a lot that these cost less then 100 bucks to make." I'm talking about buying and making that product for anyone, people without bulk discounts and manufacturing here in America. Seeing as I am 99% certain that your products are created in China, or another country in the Asian region, I am quite curious to know exactly how huge your margins are. Considering the most expensive component to your desks is the mousepad on the top... Which you charge 150 dollars for alone, ~40% the full price of the desk.
Your chairs are the same thing, like most "gamer" chairs they are almost all made by the same manufacturers and feature your logo instead of someone else's. They are ANTI ergonomics as they typically have people sitting in terrible postures and feater quite hard materials. I have sat in your "racing seat" inspired chairs, which I found more uncomfortable than an actual racing seat. The posture your chairs provide is the opposite of what someone needs while sitting at a desk. I, and no one else, need side bolsters to sit straight with zero lateral G-forces to throw me out of it.
Then you give free stuff and money to big-time streamers and youtube people, you specifically PewDiePie, because as a form of marketing to the fans of those people it works to have them believe it is actually something good. Tack on your premium price, or go as far as to make a "Blank" edition and poof. Again, you specifically, PewDiePie. I cringe to think of how many of those you have sold because he has marketed for you. I don't blame him for that at all, I would do the same thing in his position. Were you a younger company it could almost be okay, as long as all that extra money went into making the product better and better, to one day fall in line with its disgusting price.
