Deal Details
Ikea has the GERTON 61 x 29.5" solid Beech wood tabletop on sale at multiple stores across the US.
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/gert...-50106773/

YMMV and IN-STORE B&M only. Stock and prices vary per store.
I found mine at the Draper, UT store for $80, though others have found it cheaper at their local stores ($50 @ Portland, OR & $60 @ Woodbridge, VA).

Official word hasn't come out yet, but rumor has it that this tabletop will soon be discontinued because of the increasing price of wood.

Definitely worth it even at $80, considering that this tabletop had been out of stock at many stores for awhile up until around last month.

Is this really solid wood? I thought Ikea only had veneers.

I bought the same table top from Ikea 13 years ago and set it up on top of a file cabinet and metal legs. I finished it with Tung oil finish https://www.lowes.com/pd/Minwax-1...lsrc=aw.ds It is still looking and working great today after 13 years.

For anyone who is looking for info on how to finish the gerton desk.

I will be using Varthane polyurethane water based clear matte, as i want to keep the natural color without any staining

Is the price listed in the website for your store the price it'll be at the store? Tampa is showing $100

Looks perfect to pair with the sit/stand desk i just bought from Walmart if it ever gets delivered. Would prefer white but this seems nice.
IKEA sells different colored wood stains and one of them is white. One coat would be like a white wash and the more coats you put on it the whiter it would get.

It is for sure solid wood. I bought one through online and cut it in half to make 2 shelves. It's pretty heavy.

Can you use this as a computer desk? From the descriptions I've read from Ikea. Never owned an Ikea product, but the tabletops I've seen say, particleboard?

I have two of these setup in an L shape on top of an autonomous sit stand desk frame. Total cost was around $800 for a massive sit stand desk. It's a bit wobbly at full height but still sturdy. I have tons of heavy stuff on top of my desks as well so it's my own fault. For the price I don't think you can find a better option, I looked for a long time. Now I just need to take the tops off some day, sand them, stain them, and poly them, and they will look a million times better.

Any good DIY's?
I used 4 of them for countertops in a budget remodel. Ripped them to depth, angled the corners, and used the ripped pieces for the backslash. All the pieces are broken up so no ugly seams. I believe the person just oiled them very heavily and uses them unfinished. The edge has a nice bevel, the top was sanded, and the fastners were all countersunk
