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 supposed to be a good deal because it's heavily dependent of the height-adjustable table legs and that lumber is more expensive than gold?

Because this alone can't be a good deal.

I picked this up yesterday for $50 and was wondering if I really need to treat it with oil/water base finish. Can I just use it as is? Kind of lazy to finish it and doesn't most of those finish have carcinogens?
If you don't want to then don't.

FYI you can't just use this as a desk as is. You need to either sand it (recommended) or just get a polyurethane topping.
Disagree. It's a matter of personal preference, and you can use it as you please.

They restocked, around 20 plus now.in a minivan with third row flat and middle row seats folded you can easily carry more than a few...good luck!
I was in a sedan with trunk already full, so I skipped it this week. gotta plan better next time.
This is good, however my sit stand frame from walmart autonomous is still showing preparing, and dont want to be in a situation where frame doesnt ship and I have a board I can't return.. fingers crossed and waiting.

It's heavy but ikea should accept returns for upto 1 yr I think if unopened..and 6 months if open.

You don't need to sand and stain this. I bought one over 3 years ago, attached it to my standing desk motorized legs. Looks the same as the day I got it. Great piece of solid wood.

Sand and stain adds aesthetics and looks , plus it gives the wood more protection it's not really hard to sand and stain it...I have watched YouTube videos seems pretty straightforward and may need a day or two for the coat to dry etc.

Yeah just my 2¢ — I bought 2 of these and was kinda disappointed when I opened the first one up because it became apparent that I would have to sand and finish the tabletops to be more comfortable attaching to my standing desk legs. I'm doing that this weekend with some Arm-r-seal polyurethane satin finish (no stain to keep it light). If this was a shop workbench I would've left it as-is.
