The most important things to look for in a sim racing cockpit are strength, adjustability and comfort. Things to look for in a sim racing seat/cockpit Unlike an office chair on casters, a good cockpit also connects the seat to the pedal box, so that you don't go sliding away every time you brake. Racers apply a lot of pressure to the accelerator, clutch and especially the brake pedal and without a strong base, that box can start to slide during intense lapping sessions - hurting your performance and times while you struggle with ever-shifting ergonomics. Your desk may indeed be hefty enough to hold up to your Logitech G93, but the most overlooked benefit of a good sim racing cockpit is providing a stable base for the pedal box. A sim racing cockpit provides that strong base, allowing you to feel the full feedback of the wheel and crank away without fear of flipping your coffee table. Gaming wheels with strong force feedback - including the strongest direct drive sim racing wheels - may need a sturdier platform than your Ikea desk can provide. Most casual racing wheel and pedal combos for consoles or PC come with hardware that allows them to be clipped to the edge of a table or desk, which is fine for casual racers.
