Heh...very helpful! IKEA had to make a totally needless modification otherwise you wouldn’t need to buy their new legs.. Thank god for DIY skills ❤️ Ps. I wonder if you could paint them over or will the paint peel right off.. Eg. spray paint, wall paint etc Assuming the legs will be adjusted just once so that the paint won’t get scratched.. thank you :)

Thanks. I had a client give me two surfaces and frames for extending my Galant. Need legs to support the additional length of the structure and mine are already in silver. Great info.

The bottom portion of my Galant A frame legs were overtightened and are now broken. Can the Thyge legs be used just for the lower adjustable potion?

It "should " work, the legs are identical, less the metal tab.

Thanks for great video. Would love to know how it turned out. My 1999 galant desk legs are no longer adjustable so I’ll be trying this out as my next project. I’m hoping that the thyge desk base lines up neatly with the old galant desk top because then there’d be no need for sawing those little bits off - but from this video I guess that prob won’t be the case or you wouldn’t have needed this hack(?)

I vaguely recall the screw holes did not line up. You could drill new holes with inserts I guess.

@@carmennemrac8982 Hi, I need to replace the broken Galant adj legs by the Thyge leg. May I ask all you need to do is to sawing off 1 extra tabs on the new Thyge leg only & can put it back to the Galant metal frame? is there any other extra work (eg. drill holes, etc.) that you need to do on that Thyge leg? tks in advance for your reply. :) GF

Do you happen to know whether one can mount a Thyge tabletop to a Galant frame?

Galant has been discontinued 10yrs (?). Buy Thyge legs, that come with screws.

what are the dimensions of the screws? does anyone know?

No clue. Suggest you go to ikea customer service and they usually give you the missing small bits/screws for free.
