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.

What's the best way to protect this without spending too much? I'm hoping to get this sit/stand desk frame that was posted on slickdeals and hoping it'll work together....

Protect it from what? If you're just using it as a desk, you can get away with sanding and using danish oil on it. If you think you might eat or drink at the table and risk having a spill or condensation, you might want something a little more durable but to be totally honest, I would just put a desk mat on it and/or use coasters.

My older model Gerton's have been used unfinished (only sanded) as a desk for 4-5 years now and are in perfect condition, but I have an IKEA desk mat (really great quality, metal backed and can use magnets on it) on it where my arms are and a cup holder clamped to the pipe frame so there is no spill risk for me.

There is a really good imgur post about finishing these to a near mirror gloss finish so you can dress them up as much or as little as you want. They do take finish very nicely but if you're going to do any finishing, you HAVE to do a bunch of sanding because they come very lightly oiled.

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 made a desk from this + 2 of the Alex drawers + a handful of rubber bumpers at the points of contact. Sitting at it as I type this. It's been wonderful. Most premade desks seem to max out at a depth of 24 inches and I knew that wasn't quite big enough for what I wanted. This DIY desk has been perfect for me.

It's solid wood, but there are strips of metal recessed underneath for reinforcement.

Others have mentioned the need to finish the wood somehow -- I did not do this, and I haven't had any issues. However, I do have an XXL desk mat, so I'm not really feeling the raw wood that often. If you intend to actually write at the desk rather than type, then finishing may be beneficial.

Oh, but definitely use a coaster.

How accurate is stock on the web site? Says San Diego is sold out.
