Sits in the corner of my room, I have my computer on a small stand next to it and a tiny Billy Bookshelf on the other side ($39.99, 15 3/4x11x41 3/4") and it's been my main setup ever since.
Mounted a 24" to the left, 27" center & a 15" portable USB monitor to the right (on the Billy Bookshelf). Then added a floating shelf above it for my speakers and other random stuff and even have some ring lights for taking video calls.
I got mine for like $30 and I can definitely say it's paid itself off and it's still in use. These things are sturdy and you can even find a mouse pad that fits over the top of it perfectly too (search for "Gaming Mouse Pad, 31.5x15.7x0.12 inch Waterproof Computer Keyboard Mouse Mat")
Situated up against the wall, it's solid enough to seem to not have any effect on the prints.
People stack IKEA Lack tables on top of each other for their farms, and they work ok.
In fact, I've just ordered another, longer desk like this to also have a place for my Brother laser printer on one desk. Also in a different color, so dust won't be as noticeable.
There are different variations of these tables now. Mine has the triangulated corners, full frame supporting the top, and two small braces on the rear corners.
Now, there is this type, with the x-braces on the rear. Another style has crossbars not just between the legs on the side, but across the back.
One change I did not like, and it may depend on the size of the desk, is going from a full boxed perimeter support of the top, to a single cross bar supporting the top only from the center.
In trying to weigh the pros/cons between the various versions, I aimed for one in the style I already have, and picked the seller that still offered it. Hopefully, it will arrive as described.
I think the x-brace style would be fine as well, but as mentioned, I didn't want any obstructions, and that version didn't rule out the possibility of the single crossbar. With the triangulated corner supports, there must be a bar in front and back connecting the two sides.
Most of these come out of the same Vietnamese factory; some are branded with the seller's name on the box/instructions, some are generic. Dumos doesn't brand theirs.
The biggest risk is not having it damaged in transit, or some manufacturing defect, like some reviews show.
The top is not particularly robust, but then neither is the hollow cardboard honeycomb-reinforced structure IKEA employs in the Lack tables.
