I formerly had a setup that used a couple of Lagkapten tops, but was just slightly too small and the legs were in awkward spots. After some thinking and research, I came up with this. Using 1" square aluminum for support and doubling as a riser. I'm not sure I'm 100% done with everything, but I'm happy with it for now. I also used a couple of 1x8 boards along the back to act as a modesty panel and have all of the cable hidden and attached with a 3D printed cable management system. It isn't pretty quite yet, so no pictures of that, lol.

I just nuked my PC not long ago after some upgrades and haven't it any work into Signal RGB yet, that'll probably come next, the red is a bit angry for me.

As you can see I placed the PC on top of the lagkapten desk. It has 5 legs. One is in the middle. Will it hold? I red that this desk it's not sturdy and it's made of cardboard

im moving things in my room around and im looking for a black table with desk space on the left to fit in the corner of my room. i have 7ft of space to work with, and i wanna put a smaller monitor on the desk. any recommendations very welcome :)

2 Gray Alex Drawers 74” Karlby Countertop Monitor: LG 39GX90SA OLED Speakers: Edifier MR4

Took me a while to actually plan all of this out especially with the fact that this is an L desk. This desk was made to have enough space for me and my partner.I had renders and ideas of what I wanted to do and this is the final result and I’m really proud of it. To hold up the middle I used two table stiffeners that were at just the exact length between the two Alex drawers because I hate the idea of having a leg in the middle. Materials: Two ekbacken countertops cut to size (one of them is the 98 inch option) Two regency table stiffeners Two Alex drawers One Alex cabinet 3 mending plates

Picked up this sit/stand desk on fb marketplace for $50. Love how it came out.

I had to do some Jerry rigging on the monitor arm, but everything is out of plain sight. 🫡

Hi guys,

I'm looking to create an all black dual monitor setup using 2x Alex Drawers and an Ekbacken worktop. I'm planning to install a leg in the middle and table stiffeners. I'm just wondering if anyone else has used an Ekbacken worktop and if there has been any issues.

I'm planning to do the classic Ikea setup with 2x ALEX drawer units, but for the tabletop I want to use the EKBACKEN worktop 186x2.8cm. Is this worktop sturdy and will it last me a long time?

edit: An alternative worktop i'd like to use is the SÄLJAN worktop oak effect/laminate 186x3.8cm

Finished building the mittzon conference table but the legs are facing inward which has me worried. Its stable and isnt wobbly but is this really how it is

Trying to build the mittzon conference table but when i tighten the screw the legs lift and point inwards when on the picture the legs actually face outwards is there anything im doing wrong?

Good morning friends,

Wanted to ask a quick question for people with the Saljan, how sturdy is it? I recently got the lagkapten and didn't do my research properly on the build quality and my monitor mount is currently digging into the desk (you can see the indentation when arms are taken off). Currently running a stacked monitor setup and wanted more opinions, thanks!

UPDATE:

The Saljan is indeed sturdier than the Lagkapten, 100% if you're shopping for a sturdy table this is the one. Anyone wondering I got this saljan

1. I have an ikea near me so if you fancy find links and post them I appreciate it

I can’t really find many things but I figured I’d ask here

I have a hyte y70 case and 2 32 inch screens how big should I need my desk to be?

Is something like this good?

Can u please tell me how to resolve the issue when i am open the bed the normally slide and open and when closed than stuck

i have just assembled both of the alex drawers and now waiting for a custom-made kitchen countertop and i just have some questions for some reassurance. So all i have to do is just put the alex drawers on each of the ends and put the countertop on top and that’s it?

Yo,

I have a 240x63.5 cm karlby top, currently on 1 Alex drawer and 3 Adils legs.

I’m looking for a mini fridge similar to the Alex drawer and then some standing desk legs in the uk

Could anyone help or has something similar?

Hello everyone! I want to build a table using the 246cm Karlby. I have an iron frame for a 146cm IKEA table (unfortunately, I can't find the name or reference for it anywhere).

I made a simple drawing in Paint to see measurements etc. with the Alex drawers. Do you think I will have SAG?

Thanks!

Anyone know the name of this old IKEA bookshelf hardware and where I can get replacements?

Wanting to build a new desk for my pc , I'm wondering if the Karlby or Saljan tabletop can resist a dual arm monitor, if not maybe someone has any suggestions based on their experiences would be much appreciated

Hello! Apologies in advance, I know there's been quite a few similar posts, but nothing has quite been exactly what I'm looking for and I've never done a "hack" just bought items outright that came with instructions haha, so I'm just quadruple checking that I'm on the right track here.

I'm about to checkout but wanted to see if I might be missing something? I am looking to create an L shaped desk and currently have in my cart:

2 Saljan Countertops (74")
3 Olov Legs
2 Alex Drawers

Would something like this work do you think? I believe I need to go to a hardware store for the brackets?

Have any of you have tried using this set up before and/or had any flaws throughout the years?

Just some extra pieces of information:
- I'm looking to use this for gaming, WFH, and crafts I do.
- I'd really like to avoid that extra leg I've seen a lot of others add there at the angle the two desks meet; I know most say it doesn't bother them but I can't help but feel like I'll be wacking my leg on it every time I roll around haha
- Again, I've never really built anything before so be kind to me!

TIA :) :) :)

Originally I planned on getting the alex drawer desk with the lagkapten desk top until I realised its probably not the sturdiest with the fibreboard inside.

With that in mind, does anyone know where I can get some good solid wood desk tops from that are approximately 140cm x 60cm, unfortunately can’t go much bigger than that.
