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!
