Ikea KARLBY worktop, 186x3.8 cm, oak/veneer

Product Information

A real benefit of this approach is how adaptable and flexible the whole premise is. You can swap the Alex Drawers for any other drawers, Ikea or otherwise. You can even use drawers on one side, and legs or a trestle (Ikea Finnvard) on the other. Don’t like the dark veneer? The Karlby walnut top could be swapped for a number of other counter tops that Ikea do, so you can get the right look for the office you are making. What’s more, as the ‘desk frame’ components are relatively inexpensive, and useful in their own right, changing things up in the future is always an option too; if you like to shuffle your furniture around a lot, this could be the answer for you. What I particularly love about this workspace is cosiness. A wireless and silent keyboard. A wireless and silent mouse. No cables onboard. The wooden elements, plants, and clean desk also contribute to a smooth work experience. I wanted to create a large and cosy setup that could fit everything and still have a clean and spacious feel.

The longer side is 178 cm (60 cm desk + 120 cm desk, minus 2 cm for the connection), and the shorter side is 156 cm (120 cm desk + 36 cm ALEX). I connected an ALEX to one of them. Another advantage with this production technique is that you can use the whole tree; the stem as surface, and scrap bits – curvy, bent branches and small twigs – for the particleboard on the inside. The end result is a worktop that is every bit as genuine as solid wood, only more stable and more resistant to humidity.It’s a big upgrade from my old clunky L-shaped hutch desk, and this setup gives me more space, which makes it more relaxing to sit at.” Flexible ALEX Drawers Bedroom Desk Setup

I chose the ALEX drawers because their flat tops and bottoms make it easy to keep things level without needing to buy additional legs. I chose the ALEX drawers because of their versatility. I bolted my bench top to the units and mounted wheels underneath for easy mobility.I think my desk setup with a KARLBY walnut veneer countertop is pretty standard, but it’s cool if you like it! I browsed the Internet for some desk setup inspiration and came across various IKEA-based desks that were affordable and looked good at the same time.
