IKEA Bekant Sit-Stand Desk Assembly

IKEA makes a sit-stand desk you can build! So I assembled one.

Thank you for sharing that you need to make holes for the controller!
Excellent job!

You did an excellent job with this tutorial. I built this desk today and used your video as the instructions are not very good(typical ikea). Thank you so much.

[iyaramonk]

Ikea should hire you for instruction videos.

Wow - with your video, we overcame my lack of skills and my 11-year-old's "help" to assemble this right, the first time, with no do-overs. Thanks for posting, and enjoy the race cars!

Thank you. I could not find the part numbers for fasteners.

[hghori]

I have problem with re assemble, I don’t know how can I open plastic screws

I love my Bekant Sit-Stand Desk, but mine wobbles very badly around the long leg.

[shilpaparikh]

why power button of up and down is not working. Tried all cable plugged and unplugged, green light is on power cable. is there any manual ways to raise the legs heights?

5:02 The ikea instructions say to use the larger black grip fasteners and to use screws instead of pins, should I follow the ikea instructions or this video?

Great - and IKEA is opening in my area in about a year. I'll beg for FIAT Spider and IKEA videos!!

Great video! When I saw these desks at IKEA I loved them and wanted to take one home that day but one thing that kept ringing in my head is how wobbly they were so I walked away. This may be the result of bad assembly by the IKEA crew or uneven floor surface but no one at there could confirm that their desk is solid. So the big question is, what has been your experience with the desk? wobbly? etc... Thank you

Could use some help with the dimensions. Ikea's website lists the frame as being 25 and 5/8 inches deep, but doesn't say how deep the legs are. I can tell from pictures that the legs stick further out (in the front and back) than the tabletop frame. How much further back do they stick out than the frame? What I mean is, if you were to assemble the bekant frame without a tabletop and push it up against the wall, with the legs touching first since they longer than the tabletope frame, how many inches from the wall would the tabletop frame be? Also, if you could verify that the frame is in fact 25 and 5/8 inches deep, I would appreciate that so much. I don't have much space to work with, so knowing these dimensions would really help.

can minimum height be shorteneted cutting the legs? i need it to be short enough to low it to use it with my simulator

Hello, I'm in the *middle* of setting up my new desk, and wondering 2 things:

1-Can the mesh hold other items like the power cord for my tablet?

2-When connecting the tabletop to the legs, I get the holes lined up however the height isn't right....? So I can't seem to easily slip in the bolts. It didn't seem like you had that issue, though perhaps off camera; any tips?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi Guy, my Bekant doesn't work... the moto dont lif the desk up.... the electric part doesn't show green light... do you think is problemeì of that part?

[giantgeoff]

Hey Where are the mirrors to go over it, way easier than putting a water bed together!

[karan]

Hey, what sort of ports or sockets do we need and in how many numbers each to make this motorised desk fully operational. Thanks

[smoothslide]

Great video. Question: how's the wobble of the tabletop? Been watching videos and all have mentioned that it has a certain wobble.

[mishakmusic]

Have you had any issues with the motors or power supply transformer?
