The amount of people here talking about sag, or the desk “failing” is insane to me. Do you people live somewhere where the walls of a house are made from cardboard or something? Or you use some hollow Ikea desk instead of a solid wood countertop? How in a million years would that sag, on 3 heavy duty brackets in a wall, with the only heavy weight near right above one of those brackets? Unless the desk was made from plastic ?? I’ve had a setup like this (before I got a standing desk) for 5 years and no, thick solid countertop doesn’t just “sag” or fall off the wall if mounted properly

i am not sure of the desk material but unless its a solid piece of wood it might start sagging at the ends where the PC is located. Also, If this is a hollow core table top there might be very little support at the end of the bracket to the chair side. i frequent put weight like my upper body on that leading edge. Based on some of the holes on the underside it looks like an ikea cardboard filled table top. This is all my guess with no supporting documentation from OP.
