Picking up my new IKEA TROTTEN table - first impressions

  • A potential replacement for my ancient IKEA LINNMON gaming setup desk. Let me know what your thoughts are on the new L-Shape desk build project. I think it would look alright with some good cable management and all matching X table legs. This new IKEA Trotten is way better built than the IKEA LINNMON I was using before, not as thick of a desk, but much heavier - just make sure to mount the table legs a bit closer together to prevent it from bending in the middle (or just add a third table leg).

    For those who only want to use the legs on the side with no center support, I would suggest getting a metal bracket (a table stiffener at least that's what I think it was called anyways) strong or some kind of support to put under the desk to stop it from sagging over time, or if you can try attaching it straight to the wall as this would help eliminate desk wobble depending on the legs you use

    my idea for this room would be : on the grey wall those desk legs with a dark wooden straight desk top with no curves or L shape. just a big straight dark wood desk top with the 3 monitors would be perfect with those desk legs.

    I prefer the curved ikea linnmon, however is there any chance you may be able to get a custom table top from somewhere, with the back slightly wider and keeping the same shape?

    I think you should go with what feels better to use. When gaming it's important that you go with what's comfortable and doesn't affect your health in a bad way too much. BTW love your videos.

    Hi, looking at your desk I would put a sheet of would in front of the table legs that you added to the back of the desk. That sheet of wood will hide all the wires that are behind those 2 extra legs. That what I did to my desk. All my wiring is behind a piece of wood ... Keep up the good work
