    I have the desk too and I agree with all your points. I have the same problem with it stopping and returning to a position sometimes. I guess it is the collision detection, sometimes it seems to think something is obstructing the way (but there isn't). I noticed that when I use only Bluetooth App (on my phone) to move it, it doesn't do it, so maybe its the pressure from us pushing the button itself. One thing I think about is changing the compressed cardboard desk to hardwood, because when we attach these monitor mounts, it can break the desk. You, know because if you have two monitors or a laptop mount (so, 3 attachments) it's like it is too much weight to distribute on this cardboard...

    Thanks for the video! I've been using the desk for a few months now.
    Regarding the issue you mentioned, I haven't faced it in the beginning, but when I started adding more and more weights to my desk (2 monitors, full sized pc case, accessories), it started happening to me on the way down. I usually lift one monitor up while bringing the desk down to fix the issue temporarily to make it go down.
    I have a hunch that it may be happening to you even though your load is light, is that maybe you're pressing too hard on the controller that it simulates extra weight or an obstacle and forces the desk to stop. This may be the reason the issue happens to me on the way down only and not on the way up (and doesn't happen when using the bluetooth controller either). Great desk overall!

    Hi, I'm based in London (UK) and have had this desk for just over a year and I still like it. Like you, I have had the issue of when moving the desk up or down it automatically stops and then starts back in the opposite direction. But I then just press the button again and it works ok. As I have been using the desk everyday since March 2019 I would still recommend it. I even purchased the matching short file cabinet to sit underneath. I have the smaller tabletop as well and to maximize the desk space I have my monitor and laptop on an arm that holds them up over the desk and wireless keyboard mouse.

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  3 года назад

      Hey! Thanks a lot for your comment!
      Have you perhaps found a solution to the desk moving up and down? I would also still recommend the desk even though it has this bug. I was thinking of buying the short cabinet as well, it matches well with the desk! But I don't have a lot of paperwork/stuff i need to store.
      And in terms of maximizing the desk, I totally agree that using a hanging monitor on an arm with a wirless mouse/keyboard is perfect for optimizing the space. For anyone that's doubting if they should buy this desk, I'd highly recommend it, I haven't had any regrets so far.

    For your issue with the desk going back up when you are trying to lower it, have you tried the following from the Idasen instructions: Push the controller downwards. Run the table to the bottom position and keep the pressure on the controller for min. 6 seconds after both legs have reached bottom position.

    The motors will stop after 2 minutes you continuously use them. This is for their protection. You can check the manual of the desk. This is what you can find on the manual: "The
    system may be run continuously for maximum 2 minutes. Afterward, the motors must stand by for approx. 18 minutes before they can be used again."

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  3 года назад +1

      Hey, thank you so much for your help! However, it's not that I use the motors 2 minutes continuously. It's that when I move my desk from low to high (or the other way around), it will all of a sudden stop, and then go back to its original position. I still have no idea why, it seems to be some sort of bug in its system.
      Again, thanks for you help, I appreciate it! ☀️

    I bought the undercarriage or whatever it's called (basically the legs). IKEA didn't have the table top in stock & it seems like they almost never do. I wanted to go for the table top that's about 63 inches by 31 & a half inches (the bigger top) & I wanted it in your color but I may have to settle for black just so I can have something.
    I wanted to ask you, are the table tops uniquely compatible with the legs? Meaning does it have holes to place the screws in and brackets to mount the bar underneath the desk or can I just buy any top from any where since they're all the same?

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  3 года назад +1

      Hey! Ah too bad that the color is not available! I've also noticed that they are contantly out of stock, quite annoying..
      Yes, the table top indeed has holes to place the screws in, but only in the places where the undercarriage should be at.
      If I'm correct IKEA made their products so that you can combine them with each other, which would mean that the other table tops also have the same screw holes in the same position, but its probably better to ask someone who works at IKEA or visit one of their stores first! Hope this helps!

    Hi, thanks for the review. I have the exact same desk and am thinking of installing a monitor mount (or two), but not sure if the desk is sturdy enough as the tabletop is made of particle board with honeycomb paper filling according to Ikea’s website. Have you experienced any issue with your desk and monitor mount?

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  3 года назад

      Hey, thanks for your comment!
      I have not experienced any problems with my monitor. The monitor I use is a 24inch touchscreen monitor, and its quite heavy. If you have 2 light monitors, I'm sure the desk will be able to hold it.
      Make sure that you put something soft in between the desk and the monitor arm to make sure you don't damage the desk! Some monitor arms come with soft padding already.
      To spread the weight on the table top, you could also go for 2 separate monitor arms, instead of 1 which is able to carry 2 monitors. However, this might not look to nice, but that's of course something you have to decide for yourself!
      Hope this helps!

    Hi matey, I read (in another comment thread) that you can make the table automatically go to the next stored height:maybe you’re triggering that? The positions can be set with the ios/android app, maybe run that and see if the max height is stored in one of the slots.

      Hi mate! I looked into it but the app said that I didn't have any prefixed/favorite positions set yet. However, when I moved my desk up and down, it gave me an error called E59.
      I looked through the product guide and found that the error stands for a 'Safety limit switch activated on channel 1'. It says that a potential cause for this error could be that something hit the desk while it was moving. Now, I'm sure nothing hit the desk, but perhaps for some reason the desk thinks that it did and that's why it went back to its original position.
      The guide says that there are 2 solutions: Removing the obstacle & Initializing the desk if necessary. I tried both but they don't seem to work unfortunately.

      You can buy the table top separately! The table top has pre-drilled holes on to which you can screw the legs. However, for the Ikea Adils legs you would have to drill more holes in the table top yourself, and I don't recommend doing so. I'm sure Ikea also has other table tops which look alike the Idasen one, which DO have pre-drilled holes that fit the Adils legs. Its probably best to ask Ikea which table top to pick. Good luck!

    Hi, I have 1 question. can the length of the frame be reduced ? On ikea it shows 146cm for the frame. I have a 120cm table top. So I wanted to ask if we can reduce the length of the frame down to 120cm or lower than that. Will be looking forward to your reply thank you

    • @doubleu1446

      Hey! Yes I do think that's possible since you also have a 160 and 120cm version of the table tops. I think the legs are the same on those. I'm not sure if you can go lower than 120cm, perhaps the desk isn't table anymore then. Hope this helps!
      Correction: Wait, I think I didn't understand you right. If you want to shorten the frame then you could do that (the frame has multiple holes for mounting) but then the only problem is that the table top doesn't have holes for it to mount to the shortened frame. So you would need another table top!
      I think the only 2 possible sizes are 160 or 120 cm.

You should check if your table top has these holes already, if they do then it should work, but look for the sizes at ikea.com. If the table top you currently have doesn't have pre-drilled holes you could drill holes in it yourself, but then your warrens expires I think, and you have to be careful!

It is also difficult to wipe the dust off since it tend to grab more to the table than a normal wooden or laminate finish, very annoying! Hoping it is just the paint on the ones I got. I have it on two Ikea black furnitures, the Hemnes and Bekant.

      Hey!
      I have a black monitor on my desk on which the dust is also very easily visible. For the desk itself, I’d say the dust is definitely not as visible as with a black background. It’s also easy to clean, I usually use wet wipes together with a microfibric cloth to clean the desk, which works perfect.
      Hope that helps!

    Isn't this desk Bluetooth or sth programmable to set some predefined positions? I want to switch sitting/standing frequently and I don't feel like keeping this button pressed throughout this transition, and also fine-tune the height again.

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  3 года назад

      Hey! Yes, it is indeed, you can set up to 3 predefined positions in the app. However, you still need to hold the button in the mobile app for the table to move to the preferred position which kinda sucks.
      You can also use the desktop app, which i don't like either. You need to pay an extra fee of around € 10,99 to make use of premium functions such as bringing your desk automatically to predefined positions without having to manually touch a button all the way through.

    Recently looking for a standing desk thought about this one because it looked quality. Unfortunately price has gone up $700+tax ($200 shipping) but there's a store 1hr from me. I don't like that it doesn't have presets (you have to use a phone app)... How's the stability? Many people neglect mention that. Thanks for the video gave me a better idea.

    • @doubleu1446
      @doubleu1446  Год назад

      Thanks for the message!!
      $200 for shipping? That’s insane 😨! I picked mine up at the store with a small van. I never really use the presets in the phone app, also I find that they don’t really work too well. The stability is good for me, I haven’t had any problems with it, the only way I could see it being a bit wobbly is if you would lean on to the desk with your full weight maybe.
      Also, for the same price there’s perhaps other/better options available. If you have the option to go by a store to see the desk in real life before you buy, I would highly recommend it! It’s an investment, but it’s definitely worth the price and it saves your body (i.e. if you are prone to RSI, etc.)
      Hope this helps! If you have any other questions let me know, happy to help!

      Hey, I've gotten multiple comments on the height of my desk while using it, I'm changing my behaviour from now on, thanks a lot for the help!
      I don't think its an 'heating' issue, as it also does it when i haven't used the desk overnight and then move it up or down again. I got a error code nr. 59: "Safety limit switch activated on channel 1".
      This error would mean that something would block the desk from moving and the desk then going into sort of a 'protection mode'. However, I'm sure nothing is blocking it, and I've already tried to reset the desk without any success. So I'm still clueless on whats going on 😅

    Regarding the issue with the desk stopping and returning to a prior position: I noticed this happen to me when I was very slightly leaning on one corner while raising the desk (just to be clear, I wasn't applying a lot of force). It dawned on me that the collision detection could probably work by measuring power usage of the motors during operation and triggering it when over a threshold. I then was able to confirm it by slightly pressing down with my hand on top of either side of the desk while operating the height adjustment and this did indeed trigger the collision detection.
    Because of this, I suspect that it could also happen if the weight distribution on top of the desk isn't spread out evenly between both legs. Couple that with the extra weight you apply when operating the button and this seems plausible.
    I didn't try it but I bet this would happen much more often if I moved all the things on top of the desk on the side where the height adjustment button is installed.

      Hmm, I think it could work, but I would not recommend it. I'd go for the original table top as it's made for the frame. However, if you specifically want the Karlby top then it could work, you'd just have to make some minor adjustments and maybe drill a few holes in the bottom of the table top to attach the frame of the Idasen. I'm sure there's some reddit forms or ytb videos about that option in particular. Make sure to do your reseach before you buy the set!

Ik kreeg nog een tip dat het mogelijk iets met een voorkeurstand te maken zou kunnen hebben die je via de app kunt instellen.

Ik heb al geprobeerd dingen weg te halen en weet zeker dat de Idasen niet geblokkeerd wordt door iets, maar toch blijft het.
