IKEA has recently released the E-Gaming Furniture collection to "democratise the gaming experience". The furniture is launched in collaboration with famous hardware brand Republic of Gamers. It comprises four desks that come along with chairs. The price range of the furniture is kept affordable so that a broader demographic of people can access the professional-level set-ups. Currently, the range is only for sale via IKEA China, but it will be made available in other countries later this year. Read SURFACES REPORTER (SR) 's a complete report on this:
