Friends of mine who have the electric kind have said they all experience overheating at times, and two have had the overheating cause damage to their plug-in devices so I probably wouldn’t ever risk it! Thanks so much for this video and it was very funny listening out for your ‘Trotten’ dub-overs 😂 I probably will get myself one of these desks because it’s the best of both worlds and the crank wouldn’t bother me at all!
right, i cannot believe nobody is focussing on this feature as a selling point anywhere. the brands are slacking in this simple improvement @@neilmossey
So much to say about this...I also have a standing desk (it's what you see in my videos) but because I'm a geek, I was an idiot and bought an electric one...and then went to Canada for two years where I couldn't use it cause it was the wrong voltage!! I also put M8 castors on my desk (winner!) and we also have a couple of animal skins, but does yours shed everywhere or is that just me?! I'm seriously considering binning one even though it's beautiful.
Haha, oh no! The animal skins came with the Hut because it's from Finland and comes with them plus some antlers for the front door. The antlers felt really wrong so sold that on Ebay. I feel like someone's going to comment on them but they're a Finnish thing. They shed everywhere - huge piles of hairs. They sometimes get on the desk when I'm filming and look like I have abysmal personal hygiene. I kept thinking they'll stop moulting one day, but the piles of animal hair keep on coming. With the Dyson, I get a static charge hoovering them up which isn't good...
Thank you for sharing. I'd like to get one of these for my son. I wonder if this would be too tall for him. How high is the desk from its lowest position? With the wheels on.
Hi Gabriellah Thanks for the kind comment and question, how old is your son? I got one of those child desks for my son and daughter and they have really outgrown them but still using them at 12 and 14... wish I'd future proofed them with this if I could have afforded it, or if they had the space for the table top! If it's a child, I would definitely not put wheels on - with the standard feet it is normal table height: so 70cm at lowest. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for the kind question - mine doesn't wobble, - even at standing height - and I have a very uneven floor. I have pads on the feet, maybe those help. Hope this helps and thanks again!
I've genuinely been looking at this desk for a while now but now electric ones are seriously cheap in comparison. My issue with them all is they are just way to small. I use a kitchen worktop on top of 2 ikea units at the moment as I use 2 32" Monitors so I need a slightly larger desk.

This is so helpful!!! Been eyeing on this table
Hi Neil, this video really helped me in making my purchase!
Thats really great to hear @AnshulChauhan95 - thanks for taking the time to leave a kind comment and good luck with your Ikea desk!
Thank you so mutch! You saved a lot of hours in my life:)) 🧡🧡🧡
11:30 WHY CANT THEY MAKE THE CRANK GEARS SETUP IN A WAY FOR IT TO GO UP AND DOWN FASTER?
WOULD BE MORE APPEALING
Too true - thanks Steve. That would be an improvement to the desk for sure

Could you kindly let us know what is the size of the table? is it the 120 x 70 cm? or the 160 x 80 cm?
Ist 120cm you can see how Small it is
I’m sure that idea of installing wheels was a bad idea! Thank you for definetly userfull video
Is it possible to put the crank handle on the left side instead of right side?
yes, the components you put through the hole that is used to lift it can be inverted so you can rotate the desk and have it on the left side
This adjustment handle comes with table?
Hi thanks for the kind question
Yes, the handle comes with the desk and is all part of the assembly.
Hope this helps
Job well done!

Hi Gabriellah

@@neilmossey that does help. Thanks! Mine is a preteen, too. Where has time time gone?
@@gabriellahsdancingheart8808 this table has a 10 year warranty from ikea, im guessing it is future proof in that sense for ur son
Hey, I'm thinking of buying another desk at Ikea but you convinced me to get the Trotten instead. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind message - good luck with the desk. I don't know if they've changed the table tops since my one but it's still going strong!
Hi, which size desk is yours? I’m off to Ikea to get one but there are a couple of different sizes.
Can 140x60 fit on this?
Hi. Does the table wobble when you are using it, even if the feet are level, specially when you’ve adjusted it to standing mode?
Hi, thanks for the kind question - mine doesn't wobble, - even at standing height - and I have a very uneven floor.
I have pads on the feet, maybe those help.
Hope this helps and thanks again!
@@neilmossey. Hi. Did you take the wheels off? Did they not work out?
I guess I should have watched the last 2 minutes. Sorry.
I've genuinely been looking at this desk for a while now but now electric ones are seriously cheap in comparison.
My issue with them all is they are just way to small. I use a kitchen worktop on top of 2 ikea units at the moment as I use 2 32" Monitors so I need a slightly larger desk.
Thanks - yeah the prices have changed now the pando has gone. The worktop sounds amazing - I need more space!

Hollow cardboard table. Pure junk.
Have you seen how much it costs compared to other "premium" desks? It's a fraction of the cost.
