Products to deal with dust and fingerprints on black wood?

Recently furnished my entire home with mostly dark furniture from HEMNES and similar collections, in rooms with a lot of natural light. My IDÅSEN desk is especially driving me crazy, it's in a room with several computers, so pretty dusty. Are there any products that mitigate the problem with dust and glaring fingerprints on everything in any way?

Oh you poor poor bastard........ If only you knew the horrors that await you.

Hoenatly I did the same a few years ago, black/brown Malm bedroom set, black brown tv unit etc..... I'm in the process of getting rid of it all piece by piece and getting new furniture because I just couldn't stand the dust.

Best I could do is jsut dust every week, and keep blinds closed lol.

Not only that, the white versions seem lots sturdier to me. My Micke desk only lasted for about 2 years. Still have it, but the veneer has been coming off, all brown stuff is protruding. The desk was always in front of an open window (horse riding grounds closeby aka sand) and a desktop was close. Cleaning the desk (even though I used a duster first) also caused it to show small tiny scratches everywhere! The stuff with a clean white finish, still are going strong in our house.
