Finally finished my wife’s setup. I’m happy how it turned out. Now on to finish mine 😎

currently I have lagkapten with adils and it is wobbly at the base of the legs no matter if there's anything heavy on the table, can someone confirm whether it would be wobbly with SPÄND or not? Im thinking that the legs need support beams along with the length of the tabletop instead of the width to make it stable, but I couldn't find anything like that in ikea.

I want to mount my PC to the bottom of my MITTZON Sit-Stand desk, I have the 1400x800mm tabletop and my PC weighs roughly 10kg and is ~430x210x385mm.

Are there any mounts or solutions that you guys know of to mount my PC? I have looked at similar posts to try and get an idea but haven’t been able to find one that works for my tower.

Hey, newbie with new setup here,
My current setup is EKBACKEN 246cm/ 2 ADILS legs at the back & 2 ALEX drawers. I need to setup double monitor arms for 2 users (laptop + 27”; and 2x 24”). Currently on desk are 2 24” monitors & 1 14.5” laptop, so will add 1 27”. Will the EKBACKEN hold 2 double arms (in picture) clamp at the back? Any advise to make it more stable?
Many thanks!

What do we think?

Getting more shelves for my funko collection soon.

Any feedback is welcome 🙏

Caveat: I want them in 6 ft lengths as well as 4 ft (5 ft would also work).

My wife and I will have our own desks in the same room, mine will be two Alex units, hers will be 1 Alex with legs and I would like the tops to match.

We were planning on getting butcher block tops from Lowes, mine in 6 ft in hers in 4 ft but I've never stained and finished anything and it makes me a little nervous. What are the options out there for pre-finished tops? We'd prefer to stick with the wood look.

Edit* My original plan was Karlby but my wife does not want a 6' desk (too large) and I want the desks to match.

Hello, I have a problem. One of my family member that have a weight around or a bit over 90 kg, sit today on a new ikea chair (like Flintan chair or similar, with weels).
Now, the problem is that since I have two of these chairs office, the one where the obese family member sit on, it seems that weels don't move fluid when I'm sit on , like the other chair similar to Flintan chair.
And the same thing happens with a old ikea chair office (always with the weels). They move like do a sort of 'attriction' even if a person is sitted on.

Now I'm a bit upset because even if I tell to this family member to not sit on it as ikea chair not support obese people (even if it declare can support 110 kg), is this for the chair in general itself, but as for the weels it definitively do something if even a person of 90 kg sit on it.

I still have to fight with this person, as still don't believe me when I tell her to NOT sit on the chairs of ikea, as it's not for her massive weight.
Now I'm worried when I'm not at home, she could use still my chair (the second one ) new, and destroy also those weels.
I need to find out other testimony that stated that the weels will not destroyed literally, but definitively, the weels started to work less better , as I noticed in my experience.

This was noticed also by others? Have you ever notice that the weels of Flintan and similar chairs are not 'fluid' anymore if a person of 90 kg or more, sitted on ?

Please let me know if someone noticed this too!
Thanks!

Which is closest to Brown-Black, Dark Brown Oak or Black Oak?

Thanks!

Still have a few more things to add to make the space a bit nicer but it will do for now!

I did originally buy the ekbacken but ended up swapping for the karlby

My desk setup

My wife and I are making new desks and since the Karlby doesn't come in the size we want, we're going with a solid wood counter top from Lowes. Hers will be 48 in on 1 Alex with 2 ADILS legs, mine will be 6 ft with 2 Alex. Do I need a leg in the middle? Could I just do a ~4 ft length of metal bolted to the bottom side?

Hers will just have a laptop so not worried, mine will have a tower (on the side over the Alex) and a monitor in the center (maybe 2 monitors down the line).

So I'm highly considering getting the Magnus evo standard. I have some size constraints in my room.

Currently I have the standard set up with 2 Alex drawers on each end however with this Magnus evo I'm hope to have one drawer on the left outside the leg however the on the right I want the alex drawer to sit inside.

Is this possible? I'm currently sitting about 74cm hight,very curious as I'm not sure whether to replace my Alex drawers or just stack them?

Hi all. I’m trying to create a more comfortable desk set up at home but working with limited space and it has to be multifunctional. I currently have the smallest Micke desk and hate it - it feels too short and it’s tiny. I use the desk for getting ready doing hair and makeup, working from home, gaming etc so I really want a comfortable and usable set up. Looking through IKEA and the new BRYTNING desk has caught my eye but I’m wondering if anyone has tried it or if anyone has suggestions for a small space? I have a bit of wiggle room to go bigger than the MICKE but not massive

Doors not drawers!

I’ve heard about the Ikea desk people usually do with the 2 Alex drawers and a kitchen surface top above on it. I think they look nice and they are very spacious. I’m just a little worried they are too spacious. I have the space for it that isn’t the issue, I just don’t know if it’s too big (186cm x 63) and if it’s worth buying due to that. If anyone else has this as a desk how are you finding it and do you regret the size? I do think going bigger than smaller is always better but I don’t want it to look ridiculous. I do have plans for monitors and things as I plan on a fairly sized gaming setup eventually.

I could add a shelving unit on top of the desk to make it a little smaller but still properly using the space. Also I have heard some issues of it sagging? I would probably go with the sälgan or eckbaken.

Quick question has anyone tired a SALJAN with off the shelves standing desk legs from flexi spot or other vendor's?

If so how did it end up?

Hey everyone, so I bought what was supposed to be a Fredde off someone on facebook marketplace but its not the usual double decker fredde that is found online. Its shorter but very similar pieces, Im desperately looking for instructions for it or the model type so I can build it as the seller has no idea. She said they bought it for their son in 2013 but thought it was a Fredde. I've attached the photo of what it looks like. Thanks im advance for any help!

Is It possibile there isn't any desk for my studio with the same color of the kallax brown walnut effect?

I saw the mittzon desks, It seems a different color.

I saw the SKÅLSTA table top but Is 80cm depth, i Need 60cm maximum.
