Assembling the Cheapest Ikea Desk
Ikea Lagkapten 140x60cm white desk with white Adils legs from Ikea Ireland. Table top: www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/lagkapte... (€25). Table legs: www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/adils-le... (€3.50 each). I wanted a big (the biggest that could fit my room) and cheap desk and I decided on this after scrolling the Ikea Ireland website for days. This was my first time assembling a piece of furniture but it only took 1.5h with a manual screwdriver so I am very proud of myself. I have only used this desk for a few days but I love it so far. It's big and stable enough for me to study at which is the most important criteria for me. My new room is slowly coming together!

Thanks for the video, I've been considering it and now I think I'm going to go with it!
The other 2 drill hole is to attach with Alex Drawer. You can directly screw the desk with the drawer so the top desk won't be slippery
Looks nice, thanks a lot for the review.
ty! I almost bought the bigger desk but from ur video it looks like this size is enough
Thanks for the links! Really helpful
Looking good! The great think about ikea is ... its very affordaible . Keep it up 👍🤘🏼
Loads of room on it good purchase 🙃
Ok amma buy that! Great review ❤️
Helpful a lot. Thanks!😊
thanks a lot for showing the guiding holes..
Thank u for sharing this
Good work
I hope you live the happiest life ever .
Are the holes already present even if you buy the tabletop only? For example if you want to buy the Alex (2x) + Lagkapten?
Hi there ^^ May I know how resistant it is? I want to be able to put my 9.3kg monitor + 18kg full tower pc + stuff Thank you!
Would this desk be able to hold a double monitor mount? Thanks
I have the same table with the Adils leg. The screw came off the leg and I was wondering does anyone know how to put it back on and the size of the screw to buy? Thx
Good
Hi, was wondering where you bought the screwdrivers from? My IKEA package does not include it.

From Ikea! My screwdriver set is from the Ikea toolbox
Can you tell us the mm/cm of the screwdriver that is needed?
Thank you for this video! Can I ask how much space there is between the 2 front legs on this desk? I have a digital piano that I would like to store under the same desk and slide out when I want to play. The piano is 133cm wide. Would it fit?

Hi! I recently bought this but I was wondering if you were having problems with just having 4 legs with your table? I saw similar set ups with 5 legs (one in the middle for support)

I think 5 legs is for 200cm long
Personaly i cant do it. Screws are sticking at some point and I can't screw them more...
140cm… Does it flex from middle even a little bit?
how long is it?
i really hope you answer this .. How sturdy is it ? like for normal laptop , keyboard , mouse and books will it be good enough? And keeping stuffs like that on it , does it flex from middle even a little bit? since it's missing that 5th middle leg which is available on other longer size .. please reply .. Nice vid tho

Overall great desk . One issue would be due to the lighter build you can have a problem of wobbling other wise its all good

Did the screws go in easily? I have a olov leg instead of adil and its screw seems bigger. Wondering if the size of adil was easy to screw in?
