So i went to Ikea and i wanted a kitchen cart called Flytta. Went to look for it only to find out they didnt have it in stock. I had seen a small desk called Alex as my secondary option because it had storage built into it but the downer was it had a small top which i didnt think would fit my GF. So i got the Alex and as i was walking back down the isle i noticed they had desk tops of different sizes it was the “Linnmon” table top. I figured ill screw it onto the Alex from the bottom. What a masterpice!! I mean masterpiece because my fiancee is glad to have her table back Lol. The Alex comes with wheels so its a mobile GF piece of furniture until I get the Air filter from GF!! Here are some pics as well as links to the Ikea products!!
That’s very similar to my setup, but I’m frustrated that I can’t really use the top drawer or get to the back of the drawers easily. I commissioned a steel frame with wheels and I will make my own drawers in there to have better acces to bigger materials.
If I had it to do over again, I may have done 2 x Alex drawers and skipped the side ones, they’re just a 1/4" too narrow to hold a 12x20 piece of draftboard.
How is this still working well for you? Have you found it to be stable enough? I’m thinking about building one of these as a starter table for my soon to be delivered Glowforge.
