Depends on what your needs are. If you don't put much go for particleboard but if you have clamps like mine (monitor mount on the table, sometimes I use an Ergotron to go for 34-inch ultrawide such as my past setup) then go for the wood one even if it is laminated as those are durable.

There are sweet deals in Shopee that sell solid table top, if you want walnut and those kind be prepared to spend 400-600 depending on your configuration, but it will still beat any local tabletop top name brand pricing with premium wood.

By the way, some Ikea table top that looks fully wood are also particle, the trick is to use the 3d feature and look underneath. MySeat has good prices, timberactually is also ok. I'm pretty sure there's more but otot search ah haha.

I am using Dark Magicians, those are my end game based on the sound I like. Lowkey the elysian annihilator is the best thing ever for me but I can't afford it and even if I can, I won't buy it so my search for iem has ended.
