Nah, it's chipboard, sometimes with cardboard as filler. My Ikea GAMER desk, while million times better as a desk than what I previously had (an old Polish socks drawer that happened to be at the correct height), it's not very good for anything beyond that, also it's like it's starting to fall apart a bit.

That's why I prefer to build my own furniture out of solid hardwood.

Which is about to be extremely unaffordable.

Much less so than imported crap from Ikea.

One is made from imported materials. The other is made from locally available materials. There ain't no tariffs on lumber from within an hour's drive of my house.

There are places that'll make you a new top for your IKEA desk out of solid wood. Thought about doing that with my UPPSPEL. Functionally it's fine, but the finish is looking a bit ratty.
