I've noticed this trend quite a lot. People are reselling IKEA stuff for inflated prices.
I can believe it. That is to say what Ikea lists as MRP on its website isn't what people pay.
Thats some huge markup on the reseller's side. Thing is they know that we can't get the stuff locally and they can charge whatever they want.I can believe it. That is to say what Ikea lists as MRP on its website isn't what people pay.

Right, which makes you wonder why IKEA cannot take a page out of amazon's book ?
After spending a lot of time on online sites, I decided to look for a carpenter, since mainstream seems to have moved away from desktop to laptops. So tables are built as per that requirement. My requirement included space for a 29"-32" ultrawide monitor, separate space for NAS in future and also space for Subwoofer and UPS on the table itself. I designed this table after taking required measurements:
See...No place for the cabinet. Mine one cost Rs 8.5K including labour and very good quality material.
You are okay with the slideout keyboard trays? I hate them as my wrists hurt after a bit of gaming on those. I like the built-in footrest though. Nice thinking there.
Slide out keyboards are great if made correctly. I have observed that they help me keep my shoulders in a better position, as long as keyboard and mouse are not on different slide outs. And the channels used should be of good quality and tightened well so as not to have sideways play. And if the slide out keyboard tray is deep enough, it helps a lot since you can then adjust for a more comfortable position. May sound neurotic, but I did pay attention to these things. Only thing is that the raised beading placed at the end of the tray is not working for me (He thought if prevents keyboards to fall out). Will have to get that removed.
How much did it cost you? The locals here in mumbai are quoting 20k plus for itI love this one. My problem was depth i.e. I couldn;t go over 22 inches of depth or else my bigass chair couldn't be rolled out as my table sits right at the foot of my bed.
So I went the custom route.
Initially I wanted to go for this Ikea Fredde desk as this is bloody awesome but had to pull back after seeing the all inclusive price of 34k and the depth.
Moreover this would have been difficult to build with the iron frames for my carpenter who only does ply stuff.

This is my build.
The UPS and the main gaming rig sit on plywood trolleys made by my carpenters so that they can be rolled out or sideways at will.
I got some under table cable management wire trays and all wires are tucked away there out of sight.
Note the gap at the end for cable routing and the way its cut at the bottom to circumvent the space taken up by the marble at the side of the wall.
I avoided drawers on the right as my plan was to put my main rig on the right so that all the effort I put into cable management could be shown off but then I saw my maid slamming the side of the chair into the tempered glass and had to move it to the left.
the NZXT H500 fits below the drawer on the right but if I go for a bigger case in the future it will need to be placed on the right side trolley. I had planned to put my mini-ITX NAS build on the left trolley below the drawer and the UPS on top of the table but ended up swapping them as it was easier to access the USB ports of the NAS build on top.
