Great work I love the vid, inspired me to get one of these desks ❤

Does the 2 legs provide enough support when all your tech is on the desk?

[rollbacked]

which bit did you use for the drill to make the initial holes?

[EbenezerScroogeMcDuck]

PSA: yes, the droop is normal. This isn't a solid core, it is veneered chipboard. If you're rich, you can get glazed butcher block for about $800. At the very least, if you want a large L desk for work and play, I suggest 8ft slabs.

How deep is the desk like from where you sit to the wall

[codeinaxo]

loving your desk! do you think it’ll be able to hold 2 27” monitors on a mount?

This is a long shot but, I'm looking at doing this desk build myself and trying to fit a 10" subwoofer between the ADIL legs. Question is, how much wobble does the desk have with ADIL legs? I plan on mounting a steering wheel for sim racing and will be whipping it real hard.

Hey Phung, would you recommend installing a leg in the middle/ center just as a support to prevent the desk (using a 74" length desk) from sagging?

[mojomojo]

so the kitchen benchtop just sits ontop of the drawers?

[millimind]

Very nice set up! I wonder what did you put on top of Alex? I didn't see you put on anything to keep Karlby attached to Alex drawer. Do you feel unsteady for this?

"Won't the table bow if you don't put some kind of support in the center?"

[LVarisz]

What drill bit size did you use for the screws bro

[gamingcollection]

How does the ekenbacken compare to the karlby? are they the same?

[iamatuljha]

hey so must be using it for a while now, did it sag from the middle after a few months?

[kimjongskillz]

do those legs hold well? is it sagging in the middle now that it's been a few months? can you please provide an update

[motomassacre]

Hey! Looking into building one of these :) are the drawers actually screwed into the countertop or does the countertop just rest on the drawers? Or is there any sort of anti-slip stuff to stop the countertop from shifting on the drawers?

[rbroderick]

So are you using IKEA legs for this? Are they called Adil or something else?

[Nuttyaf_]

Cant i just drill holes in when installing the legs or do i have to pre drill holes.
Thnx
