If you're going to do under desk cable management, try Startech raceway (pictured is 2"x2", but you can get 3"x3" too, for almost half the cost of that metallic monstrosity. I got the idea from Edward Lee.
Looks great!! A recommendation for the cables: wire sleeves . I used something similar and they work well!

Entirely possible or I was very unlucky, I'm in Canada. I tried checking the assembly instructions and it doesn't have them listed there either. I used these anyways so it didn't really bother me much. But definitely something for OP to look into if he's expecting them.
I used this tape to keep the Alex Drawers fixed to the Karlby Countertop. Just cut to whatever you feel most comfortable with. I cut 4" sections and placed each around 1" inside of outer edge of Alex Drawers top, then put the Karlby on the top of it and pressed down for about 30 seconds.
ADILS legs: Flip the Karlby upside down on carpeted surface. Place the ADILS leg wherever you plan on having it. Use a pencil or marker to mark all of the holes. Where the marked sections are for the holes, use a drill bit one size smaller than screws and pre-drill 1/2" into the Karlby. Place and align the ADILS leg onto the marked sections and screw in the screws to the holes that you drilled. If you have a impact drill or drill, then use that to screw in the screws, or use a screwdriver.
Hope this helps.
I’ve seen people use adjustable furniture legs to keep the top from sliding around.

Hi mate
Are you looking to wall mount then or are you looking for arms?
I wall mounted my dual 27s using two of these:

Some pictures of how it turned out on my profile
Sorry for finding this question a bit late, just wanted to share my experience! I use a different monitor arm (which is carrying 2 24" monitors as well) than yours which rests on the metal beam for a bit more support. My PC is also sitting on the grill with the feet standing on the metal beam (that supports the metal mesh). I haven't had any issues so far and can share pictures if needed.
To answer your bonus question though, I'm not sure what rated weight is. My PC case by itself weighs around 7.4 kg / 16.31 lbs, so I think your PC will be fine ^^!
Pretty much every underframe has some slight front to back wobble in standing position, its pretty hard to avoid and i wouldnt worry about it too much. Side to side wobble is worse.. I wouldnt use the karlby top for your setup though. Maybe it'll be ok since youre going to do the sit/stand underframe and it will have cross support, but i personally wouldnt.
THIS is what im using though. I have a G9 and a 32" QLED mounted above it, plus my PC and speakers all on it and its solid.
It is a bit too low, so I added some 3 inch spacers to the Alex drawers. There are tons on Amazon in different heights and styles, for example: https://www.amazon.com/Masendelk-Furniture-Stainless-Adjustable-Cabinet/dp/B09QSYD17F/ref=sr_1_28?crid=26L4BD0687HCP&keywords=furniture%2Blegs&qid=1665677036&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI4Ljk1IiwicXNhIjoiOC43MiIsInFzcCI6IjguMTUifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=furniture%2Bleg%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-28&th=1
Anything like that should give you needed height.
Not a bad idea at all! I definitely suggest having some sort of support that reaches at least the middle of the table - here’s the L brackets I used, they supplied the screws as well :) LuckIn 8-Pack Heavy Duty Shelf... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088NKFR42?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I installed 2 table stiffners on my Ekbacken, I also use a center leg. Now saying that the heaviest items on my desk are my alcohol markers on one end and my laptop on the other end with Micke drawer units under both ends. My husband thought I was being paranoid, but I'm happy that I spent the extra $36 for the extra support in the middle.
Here's where I bought the table stiffners x 2.

I think you'd probably be alright, the karlby isn't one of the "mostly cardboard" tops. If you're concerned, it couldn't hurt to add a desk plate that spreads the load from the clamp out. Something like this.
The bigger concern with monitor clamps are the weight putting stress on a small surface area, with lacking internal rigidity.
For the mic, i don't think it would be a concern. I just spent a year or two with a mic with a very small clamp on a MALM desk, which is probably the same, or even worse internal structure as the LAGKAPTEN.
Depending on the weight of the top down camera(say maybe a very hefty DSLR?), MAYBE it would cause an issue down the line. but i still wouldn't be overly concerned about it. but if you were, maybe look at getting a frame that sits on the desk instead of clamps(https://www.amazon.com/Glide-Gear-OH100-Professional-Photography/dp/B06XPFJJ4T that's the first result i saw that fits what i mean.... not that i recommend this specific product)
The power strip on the other hand, I chose a much more expensive unit, but wanted it to be from a reputable manufacturer.

A fair number of people get spacer legs like these ones from Amazon to raise up the table height beyond the height of the Alex drawers.
I thought I might need to get some for me, since they were so frequently in build examples, but after doing a loose fit of the table in my place, I felt I didn't need them.
Something to consider, though.
Nice setup!
I have a similar desk setup and I found the Linmon top wasn’t strong enough for the clamp of the dual monitor stand. I ended up getting a monitor stand on Amazon with a base. link
Doesn’t look as clean but also didn’t break so…
Good luck!
I used a desk stiffener. Its a metal (steel I think) V-rod attached lengthwise to the underside of if the desk. Had it for 2 years and works great. No bending or buckling.
The best part is that it’s invisible and out of sight.

Like someone else already stated, the alex drawers comes with those lil rubber pads that you can use.
i added these on mines to give it a lil extra height (1.2"). also gives it a nice "floating" look to it

I used a cable raceway, just be sure it's thick enough for all your cable's, the one i purchased works but i wish it had a little more room. Also keep in mind when you mount the cable race under your desk to leave room for a monitor arm at the edge if you're using one (i learned the hard way). And buying a pack of Velcro cable ties always helps too!.

i use a couple of these metal stiffner underneath. its 60" in length which goes perfectly in between the two alex drawers on the 98". Found this from another user through reddit. Like with a middle leg, there are no holes on the bottom so you'd need to drill. With the stiffner, the screws that it came were self-tap screws so i didnt need to drill any holes. Just started with a screwdriver and use a power drill to get it in.
no drilling, it just sits on top of it typically with the lil rubber thing the drawers comes with. I did however added a 1.2in riser. I dont see the table top ever flipping though, its a heavy piece of wood/veneer butcher's block. Computer and monitor dont weight that much to cause it. My main monitor is also wall mounted, only the top monitor is mounted to the desk.

Thanks you. I used this Under Desk Cable Management Tray. It great, fits alot of stuff there. I'm constantly adding stuff to my set up so this is great because I can just throw stuff on it.
You could also get a brace and install 1 or 2 along the length of the underside of the desktop. It adds rigidity much like corrugations in cardboard.
Although it’s probably the weakest part of my setup - always worried I’m going to knock it over. I’d probably go for a more solid/substantial stand next time.

I used these off Amazon with some felt rubber furniture pads attached to them to prevent the desk from sliding (don’t think it would without them).
I have a glass table and put a wood block on top like you, and underside of the desk...as a temporary measure. now I have a pair of steel plates. They're sturdier than the wood blocks and a little more professional looking being that they're black. As an aside, they have a spongy rubber/felt material between the metal and glass to keep the glass a little safer. This is the one I got
Yeah, think I'm going to get some double sided woodworking tape . I really want to avoid a middle support leg.. perhaps an L bracket on each side and attach to the Alex drawer(s), but not sure if that would really remedy anything as it wouldn't really be load baring. Monitor will be on a VESA mount so only peripherals on mid portion of desk.
Hmm there is a problem with it, because of the position I have it the monitor swings to the left. I had to put something behind it to keep it straight. It's a known problem with the mount I bought
If you're taller, most people put furniture spacers/legs like these to add more height

It may be low standing looking at it, but remember when sitting your knees only (likely) sit 23-24 inches from the floor, and there's 29" to the table top. That said, if you like to cross one leg under the other when sitting or whatever it could get cramped.
If that's the case, screw these to the Alex and set the tabletop on them instead. Looks great and adds another 2 inches. There are also 4 inch and adjustable variants of the linked feet/risers.
these my friend
Honestly it's slightly tall for me, but ergonomic enough where I'm not heading my hand, I'm 6'4" so I recommend getting the shorter ones that are height adjustable.
But if you still want the tall ones, which I do, I recommend getting pads for your office chair if the arm rests are not tall enough like I'm doin

nope! For around $50 I picked up an RK61 on Amazon!
One thing you can do if you want an IKEA setup without the gamery vibe is to buy the SALJAN countertop and ALEX drawers for around $220. All the variants of the SALJAN countertop are clean looking and not gamery, and the gray ALEX drawers look clean and minimal. Check out my post history for an example.
Another desk you can consider is this minimal rustic desk from Amazon. I was considering it versus getting a countertop and drawers from IKEA.
It looks like both would fit well in your home office.
