Unpopular opinion: cable management trays are a waste of money for most desks
Had a buddy at the local hardware store tell me he spent $80 on a fancy under-desk tray and it sagged after a month. I just zip-tied my cables to the back of my $50 IKEA table and it's held up fine for 3 years now. Anyone else skip the expensive stuff and just use what they had lying around?

See it totally different honestly. I've been making baking trays for about 8 years now and a good thick aluminum sheet with rolled edges will last you forever if you take care of it. Those cheap nonstick trays at the store start warping after a few months in a hot oven and the coating flakes off into your food. This one might look a little bowed but that's actually better for heat distribution than a perfectly flat thin tray that'll buckle. $80 is steep I'll give you that but if it's commercial grade 18 gauge aluminum with good welds that's pretty standard pricing.
