Ikea Desk - ideal for home studio

[noisedude]

Hi guys, sadly my desk doesn't fit in any of the rooms in my new house, so before dismantling I took a few snaps. It's an Ikea Fredrik in silver and birch. I got it because it's ideal for putting nearfield studio monitors at the right height - if you sit them at desk height on a standard table they point below your ears so you hear more of the reflections than the direct sound. I've used the top shelf for my printer and audio interface/preamps/etc.

Nothing to stop you using it as a normal desk, of course, but then it'd be a Gumtree listing and not a 'musically related' item.

Here's the link on the Ikea site, but note that when I threw a measuring tape around it, I thought it was 120cm x 80cm - different to the dimensions on Ikea's site - so if the exact size is important to you, let me know and I'll re-measure it.

It's in nearly new condition - 18 months old and lightly used. Takes five minutes to put together, only four screws; if you're nearby to me I'll come round and help you put it up.

£45 ovno please .... any questions just PM me.

Also, I can't really tell from the pictures but this is possible to sit right under isn't it? As in your legs will pull fully under it? There are no support bars in the way etc?
The problem I have with the desk I have at the moment is my legs won't go under it so I have to lean over and strain my back.

I've never had that problem. There is a cable tidy underneath (the grey bit) but that's not needed so I can't see why you could build the desk without it if you wanted. The heights of the sections are up to you - there are loads of pictures of different arrangements (mostly musicians!) on Google:
