Both this video and the previous one (Idasen build) were very helpful! It’s nice to get these six-month reviews because that is when you really get to know the pros and cons of any purchase. You explained things really well. Thanks!
Thank you, glad they helped!
I bought the desk about three weeks ago after watching your initial review, and 3-month review. Like it so far, I have 2 27 inch monitors on it and not much else, stable enough that I rarely feel the wobble. Havent been able to get the bluetooth connected yet thats been a pain but other than that its doing a good job.
Where did you place your computer?
Just a note : i have an Ikea desk and use the net cable tidy. For laptop, two screens , PS4 and a couple of charger points, with 2 extension leads and it manages to contain them all. It stretches and has small bungee cord to hook onto desk. It’s worth try before spending more on more materials. Thanks for the review, like the insight. Appreciated.
That's good to know. I just wanted to use the add on, haha. Thanks!
nice vid ! :)
Great video, thanks for posting! I'm thinking about buying one of these, but I want to mount a heavy duty cpu holder under the desk. What is the distance from the front edge to metal that spans the length of the desk? Is the desk strong enough to hold the screws?
Thank you. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
What monitors are they and what refresh rate do they go up to? There look really nice
Thank you for this helpful review. I like your calm explanation. I will subscribe and check out your other videos.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
do the monitors shake or do you feel the wobble when typing? i am looking for a standing desk and i've heard most standing tables wobble enough that your screens shake while using them
Great video! Is your table top stable when in maximum height position? My monitor tends to shake a bit while typing on the keyboard, do you also experience something similar?
Idasen underframe - Silver - motorized - I basically went a different route, I purchased the Gerton, Beech( 61x29 1/2 ")solid wood table top(I have not finished the surfacing that is for a later project date so the wood is naked for now), Measured, predrilled holes and attached it to the underframe.
Underframe Max Load=74.84kg/165lbs
Top = Gerton - 26.74kg/58lbs around
Monitor = 34inch ultrawide Alienware DW3418DW - 18.14kg/40lbs - Vesa monitor arm Panel weight - 8.61kgs/19lbs
Computer = Thermaltake P3 Fully loaded with TG side - 18.14kgs/40lbs
Various - Mouse/Keyboard/Speakers/Yeticaster/BackupHDD/Rift S -I would say around 4.53kg/10lbs for various weight.
Pretty much goes up and down just fine might lighten up the load getting a monitor Vesa arm and reduce the weight by half of that, and stand the computer up elsewhere, but other than that I love it and I am pretty happy with it,
Thank you from Italy!
Does this table top scratch easily as the top looks very similar to the Ikea Bekant desk and that's scratches even with the lightest of scrapes
The app works just fine for me. Worked in store on the demo desk too
Well it doesn't for me, so 🤷♂️
@@jordanash probably a faulty unit for the Bluetooth. They do have a 10 year warranty.... I'd see if they'll honor it
I probably won't bother. I won't use it even if it's fixed.
Thank you for the video! It helps out a lot! I do have one question though. You said in the video (1:37 - 2:15) that you were using about 6 plugs and some pc cables that you stashed under the desk and that the normal netting isn't worth using, simply because there isn't enough room for all these cables. Would it be enough if you just used one large power adapter (room for 8 plugs) and without the pc cables? I'm thinking of buying this desk in the upcoming months (but the dark gray / brown version)!!
Greetings from The Netherlands!
Good, I'm glad it helped!
I'd say so, yeah.
Thank you! I hope you're safe!
Linak is making diferent control panels for their tables that works with Idasen as well. DPG1C allows you to have up to 4 position stored, reminder and auto lowering and rising without holding the lever. Also linak is making macos and windows app, which reminds much better then the mobile app :)
Jan Novák where can these be purchased? I’d love an automated version.
@@terryupton7623 I found it on amazon :) not sure if they Idasen has official channel.

Happy to know that i can change the control panels to stored position .
i just got idasen desk few days ago, now i have problem on setting up my dual monitor with 1 pc all on the desk. 160cm is not really enough for me, my previous desk is 180cm.
Just got my replacement desk after motor burnout after a week of having the first one. i dunno if it was a loose connection with the power cable or a strain on the cable as the first one i left hanging out connected to the transformer. this time i put the transformer inside in the groove of the frame. i was a bit alarmed at the first one when the motor burnt out it made a slight crackling sound and a small amount of smoke came out. For the new one that arrived, i'm gonna plug out every time im not using for safety purposes.
Did you have to return the entire table or was it enough to just bring the burned electronic component?
Hi, Jordan, thanks for posting this video (and the others)! Have a question, does this desk need to be up against a wall in order to prevent wobbling? We're currently planning on purchasing it to double as a work table and dining table in our tiny temporary flat while looking for a larger place. Thanks!
Hey, no, not at all! It'll be fine wherever you put it.
@@jordanash Cheers! Thanks for the confirmation; I thought it would probably be okay, but didn't want to risk it on a £500 table.
No problem! Yeah, definitely not worth the risk.
One of the legs of my IDASEN desk is locked in a specific position, and the other one (master) has moved all the way down (it won't move up). Now I have a desk at a 45 degree angle which is not very useful. The engine tries to start, but it seems like something is blocking it. Resetting methods found on the internet aren't working. Has anyone had such a problem and knows how to solve it?
You have 10year warranty
Hey mate, excellent review. I had a question regarding the weight capacity, is it capable of holding your 2 monitors and the desktop PC as well?. Edit nm you seem to have already answered that at 4:27.
Cheers mate, bit of a quick video but it's done well for views. I think the weight limit was 75kg
is this possible for 3-27"monitors? including soundbar & monitor arm for 3?
I don't see why not if it's under the weight limit.
There is a company that tested some tables for front to back and then left to right wobble. This table had the best score of any table tested for front to back wobble. Right to left was also good.... I got the same setup this table and edifier speakers xD
Oh that's good to know, thanks. Good choice!
Awesome video. What did you do with the power brick that came with the desk? Did you leave this in the desk frame and cable it out?
Thank you! Yeah, it's in the centre channel
Thank you so much for the reply! Have you had any issues so far with leaving the power brick in the frame? I'm looking to also cable manage similar to your setup. Thanks again for the great video.
No problem. No, none at all. I don't think it will ever get *hot* unless you spend all day putting it up and down
Hey man I like your videos! I just bought this desk. Does the table top feel pretty solid to you? I plan to put a dual monitor mount on it. Do you think I should reinforce the mount base? I know past ikea table tops have been pretty thin. Thanks again!
Thanks man! Yeah it does, you could no worries at all. I have a triple mount to go on this at some point. I doubt you need reinforcement as it's solid wood.
@@jordanash Thanks so much for the info!
@@jordanash The table top is not solid wood lol
Its particle/paper/absplastic and then a little of wood on the corners
@@Ebiness Lol that is truth and i don't understand for which reason people here keep to write "wood".
Hi Jordan, late question on this table. Is the table top the matching Idensen or another? You mentioned that you positioned the controls on the side. How did you attach them? You just screwed them or did you pre-drilled the table top bottom? I have a 120cm table and I've set them on the predetermined place but when I have it on the low position and rotate I touch the controls with my legs and want to move them to the side.. Thanks.
Hey. Yeah, it's the matching top. And it's just screwed in, I don't think I drill any pilot holes
Thanks for the reply.
No problem
Hello Buddy, is there a Button to turn on/off the Bluetooth or is it always on? Thank you
Hey, it's always on.
@@jordanash Thanks
is the table's paint peeling for you guys? It's peeling for me... I've only had the desk for 5 months...
Not had that issue dude. I'd get in contact with them, especially as it's in warranty.
Hello, the video is so hold you might no see this question but can i ask, is this table extremely stable to rapid movement? as an osu mouse player my desk shake left and right whenever i've to sped up, will this desk do that?
That'll be fine, it's hard to wobble this with small movements like that.
@@jordanash Oh okay, thank you very much for your reply & your video ! im looking forward to possibly getting this desk too=)
No problem! Enjoy if you do :)
Hi Jordan. Thank you so much for your video. I'm looking to get this frame, but with a custom tabletop that measures 80cm by 200cm. Ikea recommends maximum size to be 80cm x 160cm, but I don't think there should be many issues with an extra 20cm at either side. What do you think?
Also, would it be possible for you to let me know the distance between the inside of the legs (when the frame is extended to its maximum length, which I think yours is)? This setup will be for 2 people side by side, so just wondering if there is enough space there for 2 chairs, or will the 2 users have to kinda saddle over the legs.
Thanks
Hey Henry,
Thank you for watching! I think that would be fine, just make sure the desk support is flush to the desk (horizontal bar) and that you don't put weight over the edge of the frame.
The gap is 128cm, or 51.5 inches. You could work two at the desk, but there's not a lot of arm room, to be honest. It can be done within the frame, but I wouldn't like to do it. If you can put up with doing it outside, then yeah it'll be fine.
Also, I saw your email, but replying here as I keep that strictly for business, I hope you understand (It should have business only in brackets).
So, how did it all work out? I am having the same idea, so wondering whether it will be stable and no wobble will be present. I am thinking to get Karlby table top and its 186cm long, btw
@@pichokonalio following..
Hey man! Know this is super old but has the desk held up since? Have a monitor and a pc on the side of the desk but worried about it breaking over time due to weight
Super old for two years? I'd hate to think what you'd say about me being 29 😂 But yeah, it's been great
@@jordanash HAHA, I meant it being old in terms of you coming back to an old video and replying. Thanks for the reply man
Hello, I have a problem with a squeaking power supply connected to the motor, do you also have a squeaking noise? It is about
"electronic buzzing"
I don't no, that's odd. It might be a capacitor that's a bit noisy.
@@jordanash So you can't hear anything? can you hear this capacitor?
Mine doesn't have any noise that I can tell, although I put my power supply in the frame of the desk.
@@jordanash Mine is also in the arm of the desk, but when I bend under the desk I can hear it (humming, buzzing), I wonder if it's a problem or is it supposed to be like that?
It definitely shouldn't buzz
Hey how durable is the table top? What is it made of? Im thinking of getting it
Really good, mine is still holding up strong.
@@jordanash yeah after I've seen Linnmon breaking soo easily I've said screw it im going for this one its not made or cardboard inside lol
Yeah definitely haha, you have to buy Linnmon knowing you'll need to replace it after a while
There is absolutely no way any of these sit stand desks will not have some wobble when raised. Law of physics will not work at this budget level!
I didn't say there wouldn't be any. The demonstration was to compare to the older version, which had drastically more wobble.
How durability? After months/years marks sratches?
I did a conversion (video on the channel) and have just swapped back to the original configuration and it's still working great
Where are you from? Judging by the accent I'm thinking Gloucestershire, Bristol maybe?
South coast
how long are the 2 feet that touch the floor in cm? thanks
I will measure it and get back to you tomorrow. I'd guess 60cm though
@@jordanash thank you so much, I appreciate it and I will wait. I fear they are longer than that though
They are 70cm
@@jordanash thank you so much! i couldn't find that info anywhere
What is your experience after 4 years?
Overall very good, I'm now using this as in this video again. The only thing I don't like is the controller for height, the modes you can program I can't remove so it stops numerous times when putting it up, which is annoying. The only problem now is that desks like the Maidsite that I looked at offer a lot more given the technology has evolved a lot in four years. Video of that here - ruclips.net/video/D_Nc3McSzLE/видео.html
Thats such a poor cable mangement. Use the net and screw the power brick to the underside, mines all tidy with no extra purchase. But I agree the app is a bit mehh, and desktop app does not work either with this model apparently. But at least I can use the app, you made it sound like the mobile app does not work at all for you?
I think I just gave up with the app, as there's wasn't that much benefit to using it.
@@jordanash Yeah bit odd. Rather have paid more for a full feature Linak system :)
There's a lot of better desks for the price now, but this was one of the first when standing desks became a thing
6-7 height? damn you're fucking tall!
Haha yep
Dizzying to watch!
My apologies!
bruh clean your desk
They're things I use everyday 💁
