- The IDÅSEN desk is Ikea's most premium Sit/Stand desk. In this video, I'm taking a look at different aspects of the desk such as functionality, quality, and looks. You'll find out if it's worth buying. I got the (largest) 160-cm by 80-cm. I love the size.

After using a HUGE dining table as a desk for years, I'm really happy to upgrade it to a standing desk! I'm working on a video about my ultimate desk. Let me know in the comments what you would like to know!
What do you think about a standing desk? Do you like to stand up while working?

One thing to keep in mind when you use another tabletop. The Idasen tabletop is light so you have enough wheight to put on it before you exceed the 75kg limit for the motor. If you use a solid tabletop it can add wheigt. For example I used a solid plastic table of 50kg... together with the attributes on the table it was too heavy for the motors.
That's true, thank for the reminder.
I love that everything was in beat with the music this editing was amazing
Awesome you noticed, and thanks for the compliment!
One the most useful reviews explaining the actual features and demention . Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@felixkruip 🙂👌
This man is going places.
thanks so much man! I've been looking for a good electric sit/stand desk for ages but never knew which one to go for. I think this one is the best one because it has the linak systems which is super high quality, 10 year warranty, very sturdy and decent design. AND IS ONLY £500. Bargain for something this good. Now I will buy it. Thanks for making my decision easier
Exactly my thought!
I would recommend adding an extra strong plate plus cushion (can be plastic) under the monitor arm fasteners and optionally also above if they are too small, especially for heavier monitors, and especially if you don't want the fasteners to dig into your tabletop with time.
Good clean review
Thank you. I just want to buy one. It is out of stock at the moment near me. I will wait to buy this. Very clear introduction. Very helpful.
Happy to hear! Enjoy it when it comes back in stock
Great Video!! Thanks bro
Thank you, very usefull broski!
Loved the review! Keep up the good work! Auto-subscribed!
Awesome! Appreciate it.
Nice setup and editing bro!
Appreciate it ma man!
you deserve more views and subs, this video is amazing. keep it up.
Making my evening, thank you sir!
Great review good job
Thank you!
I like your sweater 😆. Good review.
Cheers Adrián!
Great video, subbed.
✌🏼
Great review! Going to go buy mine tomorrow :-)
Thanks, enjoy it!
Nice video :D I didn't even know the desk existed :D You now have an extra subscriber!
Thank you, happy to have you!
Love the review, quite a nice format/lighting to the video. I'm contemplating on getting this too, but I'm also looking at mounting my PC underneath my desk with a PC bracket. Even though it's an ITX, the "hollow" interior scares me.. :(
What did you get? I think the motor is too weak for that. Regarding anchor point, you could tap into the existing, reinforced points using a makeshift adapter if things do not line up- e.g., steel piece or even wood with a bunch of holes in it. Easy.
Nette review!
Bedankt Simon!
Good Video mate
Thanks bro, appreciate ya!
Wow I'm a bit blown away by the professional video :D I did one myself about Ikea's Rodulf desk and this just blows me out of the water :D Damn, I have much to learn still ^^ The only thing that I find a bit odd is seeing you speak in the big studio Mic. It's obviously great for voice overs, but I would suggest a hidden mic like people on TV clip on. That way you can use it for the unboxing as well because the sounds was pretty crappy here compared to the rest of the video. But all in all.. WOW
Thank you for the compliment! I think I just wanted to show of my new mic.. :) I do use a lav or shotgun mic for most of my work.
Great review I have the same, bigger size (160cm x 80cm) which fits my 38" LG Curve monitor and another Dell 27" in Portrait mode (no monitor arms). I will see if I can use the Vivo under desk computer mount to fit in my Mini PC tower which will make it look a lot neater. For those who can't decide on colour top I would highly recommend NOT choosing the black one, it's just way too dark especially in a dimmish room. Overall very solidly build unit with clean design.
Hi! Did you manage to get a Vivo under desk mount? I'm looking at this desk with an under desk mount, but the "hollow" interior of the desk scares me >
@@shat20 Did you get the mount working? I have been thinking of the same issue. What if? Although from other comments, doesn't look like it has broken the table. Please do share your experience when you are done with it.
Thanks sir
Hey man! Love the set up. We’re did you get those shelves from?
Amazing, about to pick one up so thanks for the tips! Also, how do you get your icons in the middle of your task bar :-O
Haha, good eye! I'll make a video about my total windows and Apple productivity apps and features soon, so stay tuned! Also, have fun with yours!
Cheers for the video! May I ask which colour did you choose for the headphone holder? Looked like a great fit with the desk. :)
edit: Just noticed there were only two colours to choose from, nvm! xD
Anddd love the editing and the quality vids bro!!!! Can you please drop the name of the song !!!!!!
I spend hours and hours making these videos. I appreciate your words!
hell yeah
Great video! I have the same desk and just got a mic boom arm, was wondering if you noticed any damage or warping with yours overtime? The c-clamp for mine is padded on top and I added a pad for underneath. What I am worried about is that it will snap the desk or damage it in another way.
Hey man, nice review!
Any chance you could measure the space between the legs of the legs? Cheers
Nice! At least I know I can safely attach one of those clamp style monitor mounts!
I ended up buying the exact same configuration you bought, that being the 160×80 cm brown table top with the grey base, although as I live in Singapore, the power adaptor on mine has a British plug, but at the same time, it seems mine came with a revised power adaptor design that's not covered in the manual _(dated 18 November 2019, and which also mentioned the Schuko plug wall wart for SG)_ where there's a short DC cord, long AC cord, is a power brick that appears to be designed to be hidden inside the horizontal bar that connects the two legs, although I also tied a knot for strain relief, and used some double sided tape to tape down the power brick.
Your comment is helpful! Now that you've used it for more than 5 months, do you think is the Board strong enough to have a 27" Monitor mount for a long time?
@@shobhitpuri
I'm unable to confirm, but I feel as though the table top might be sagging when I look at it from a distance, though I think it's because of the cross brace (that houses some of the electronics for the mechanism) that's preventing it from sagging too much. I don't think it's sagging too much when I look at the middle of that cross brace.
@@shobhitpuriDid you find out?
Awesome thanks I'll be getting the crank one cause I'm broke
the crank one doesnt have a motor that breaks down...yrs will work for ever!
Is there any video showing the review of your monitor? If yes, could you please share the link?
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for commenting!
Opening the box as the hardest part of the whole process
Hahaha yes.
Thanks for the video! Now that you've used it for more than a year, do you think is the Board strong enough to have a Monitor mount for a long time?
Did you find out?
You have a "Red" camera? WOW! That's SOOOOO Sweet! OMG that's a good camera! or am i seeing it wrong? I know some look industrial - ish.
I was at Ikea today looking at these desks.
I noticed that when other sit/stand desks are all the way up, they're wobbly, but not this one, so maybe I'm gonna go with it.
What mic stand (arm) are you using in this video? Thanks for the informative video!
You're welcome. My newest video is about the mic!
EDIT: Sorry, it's the RØDE PSA-1
The motors for the Idasen are made by a company called Linak, maybe you could ask them if their connections are the same as their other control modules and if they are swap it out for one that has memory functions on it
They do allow it, check the comment pinned on top!
@@felixkruip do they? I can't find the comment you're referring to.
@@carcorr I can't seem to find the comment either. They were talking about swapping the control unit: amzn.to/35O8QJ0
Awesome video. If I may, where did you find the shelves above your table. They look amazing.
Cheers!
Thank you so much! Of course you may. They are hand made! Two Ikea CD racks with some burned wood.
@@felixkruip Thanks! DIY done right!
Hi! I am looking to purchase this desk but have been unable to get a measurement I need to ensure it will fit in my space. Would you be able to share the distance from the outside of one leg to the outside of the other? The space I have is more narrow at the bottom and opens up to accommodate the size of the desk (120 cm). Only worried if the legs will fit. Thank you!
this basically sold me on the idasen ngl
👌🏼
The only challenge with this desk is that the tabletop is not solid (as you mentioned) and it bends in quite easily on the longer version. On the other hand solid table top will weigh much more eating into the 75kg max weight that the system can support. At this price it's a nice desk either way.
100% agreed.
Not the case. I’ve had the larger version for years now and haven’t had any issues with bending. It’s very solid.
@@wixpark3786Still solid after 2 years?
I would have seen a "wobble test". The greatest weakness of standing desks. Also, your height for reference to our own height xD
Big brain things happening here..
Pick either the music or the assembly. Or turn the music down. Good review thought!
hi, how's your table holding up after 3 years? any sag in the middle section of the table (as shown in this video, you place the heavy atx pc in the middle)? any major defect the the table surface? any issue with the motor?
I had the regular version of this desk, and it is super stable. It's the underframe IMO, as the stabilizing beam runs right across the tabletop, instead of running across the corners. I'm typing on a cheaper Ikea desk now, and the monitor shake when I type is very irritating!
I know this is 6 months late but I’m about to buy the regular underframe not the motorized one and pair it with a custom good quality table top. Having no wobble is extremely important to me so you can confirm with the regular underframe at a normal sitting height there won’t be any wobble from typing or moving my mouse around? Thanks in advance
@@okinguin2937 hey, did you end up going with the idasen? i am in a similar situation where wobble is very important and was wondering if you had any updates that could help
@@psybunkDid you find out?
@@mbz4652 i got an idasen and put an ikea table top on it, not a very thick/heavy one but it is solid enough for me to drill through and have monitor arms on. for me the idasen was too wobbly, it was pretty good in sitting position but was quite wobbly in standing position, enough to annoy me and i couldn't get used to it. i ended up returning the idasen and i just use a regular desk now
Just picked up this desk the other day and I'd definitely like to add a headphone holder as well. Did you have to drill a hole in the bottom of the desk before you could screw it in? Or were you able to screw it directly in with no drilling at all?
No drilling sir! Super simple.
What desk mat do you have underneath your keyboard?
Thank you for the review! I suffer from RSI and I'm looking for ways to improve my ergonomics, would you recommend buying this desk or perhaps another one?
I think the most important thing is a good chair and the right height for keyboard and monitor. Elbows, wrists, straight back, etc. Any desk would be fine.
How to Creative Alright, perfect! Thanks a lot!!
@@doubleu1446 I checked both of your reviews and bought one yesterday! Finished assembling it today and have my CPU unit on the table top. My only concern is the weight. @How to Creative How is the table top holding up after 1 year of use. I see you've put a bigger CPU than mine. Did you have any concerns regarding the added weight ?
@@RRoy89 I think the table won't have a problem with heavier weights. If I remember well, it should hold up to 70kg of weight. However, if you put all the weight at one specific point on the table (especially the middle), then i think it may start to bend a tiny bit. Not sure tho, as i've never tried this. Perhaps "@How to Creative" can indeed give you a better answer on this!
But congrats on buying the desk!! I still love it after almost a year now 🥳
@@doubleu1446 Thanks for replying! I have my CPU on the left side, right above the metal bar while the rest of the items (one smaller screen and computer speakers) in the middle. There is definitely not enough weight in the middle portion. However I noticed, the table wobbles slightly when I'm changing the height. It's probably due my crappy laptop stand which start wobbling as soon as it senses motion. But so far, the table corrects itself when it notices wobbling. I hope it doesn't create an issue in the long run. So far the table seems very sturdy.
Great video. I'm wondering, if you buy the solid wood table top is there a "template" to use for the solid wood top so you have accurate hole to place everything during assembly? Thannks
Did you find out?
Hey man, how about wobblyness? I'm thinking of buying it but I need it to be rock solid. Thank you in advance.
you sold me. gonna pick one up.
Good for you! Let us know how you like it.
Did you end up getting it and how is it? Is it stable at standing position
@@mbz4652 yes, and it’s very stable. It’s a heavy desk.
@@mbz4652 yes and it’s been great. Very stable.
please, how long are the 2 feet that touch the floor in cm?
Great vid. Does the smaller size still allow for decent work space? I’m leaning towards that one because of my room.
Yes, absolutely. But really depends on what you want to place on your desk.
Does the app work consistently well when using the favorite positions feature?
Yes, as long as you have it connected over Bluetooth.
Question, do you have any wobble at all? I'm concerned about my monitors shaking while gaming. Thanks.
I don't actually. Only if I really force it.
Can you choose any table top from ikea? How does it screw in to the frame if you choose another table top?
you make a hole in the table and screw
Can you tell me your estimate for people that have to move relatively often: do you think the desk survives 5 dismountings and remountings? I'm particularly interested in the mount of the plate (desk-top) on the metal, as this seems to be the weakest point I guess.
Would appreciate your feedback!
I am pretty sure you can assemble and dessemble the desk multiple times without a problem.
How to Creative Thanks!
Does desk wobble
Have you ever done any gaming on this while standing? Is there any wobble that would be really noticeable?
I did, I haven't had any trouble gaming while standing up..
I have the same desk and i'm planning on getting a dual monitor arm for it. Do you think that the desk is strong and sturdy enough for a dual monitor arm/dual monitors? Have you noticed any damage on the surface where your monitor arm is placed?
I think it should be fine. I haven't noticed any damage at mine.
HI
I just wondering where did you bought the shelf what is above the desk. Looks like a very similar color.
Thanx
Hi! It's actually custom made with some wood and Ikea CD racks.
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"
Did you find out?
the table seems really wobbly 5:01
I have the Bekant desk in white with the dark brown tabletop. These desks sway like that only when being raised or lowered. They have a corrective balancing mechanism that prevents the legs from becoming misaligned. But the Bakant desks are normally almost as stable as a fixed desk. I honestly would expect the same from the Idasen. The build quality and action seems to be about the same.
can you use 120x50 desk top instead 120x70 that comes with that desk? or it just doesn't have enought space?
Of course you can! Even with my huge monitors and PC case, I still have plenty of space. So it's up to you...
Thinking of getting one of these. I hate mouse mats though, is the top smooth enough for a mouse to work on, or is it really quite textured?
Has a bit of a texture, but still comfortable to use a mouse on it without a pad.
the tabletop is a nice color but its still dark enough to easily show dust. wish they had a lighter color option to "hide" the dust more
Totally agree about the idasen desk,it's a top desk but the colors suck for me,there are two avaible colors for this model brown and dark version which both sucks for me,i which they have lighter colors for this desk.
Hello there , the ikea in my country sells this desk with the maximum height of 79 cm and min 65 , are there multiple types of IDASEN with height adjustments ?
ikea has stand/sit desk and normal desk, same name but different price and function
does this wobble? at standing height? any monitor shakes when you type?
My monitor only shakes a bit when it's high up on the arm and at standing height. No wobbles from the desk itself.
my same desk has a strange issue, it's doesn't stop and go back, but instead half of times when I try to move it, it will stop after 1 cm like it is blocked or something and afterwards resume after 1-2 seconds while keeping pressed the lever. This glitch might happen 2 times in a row when switch from set to standing presets or the other way. The reset doesn't fix
Try balancing the table. Might be the reaction because it thinks it is bumping something
Is the top smooth? If I were to write on pencil would it have bumps as I write?
The top is smooth, but if you write on a single piece of paper you would get some bumps. I would recommend a 'desk mat'!
Great content. Could you tell me if your table after using it for a few months has started to warp because of all the weight on it? Do you see any bending in the slightest form? Do you roughly know how much weight have you placed so far as compared to a max weight capacity of 70-75kg?
Thanks!
Thanks! I haven't noticed any bending, whatsoever. I think the desk now carries around 40kg.
Hello anyone, is the sit/stand underframe adjustable in length?
Hey thanks a lot for this thorough review. As others have said I also agree a stability test would have been nice. I'm thinking of buying one with a solid wood top as my music production setup. How much weight do you currently have on top? Desktop PC must be pretty heavy and also your KRKs. I would have a pretty similar setup but I need to add a shelf underneath for an 88key midi controller that weights about 13 kg. What do you think? Thanks!
Actually, it is still going super strong. Currently have KRKs on monitor arms, and an extra ultra wide monitor. I am very surprised by how much weight the normal desk top can carry. Thanks for the comment!
I wouldn’t trust mounting 13kg weight under the top with screws. A solid wooden top might be great for that.
@@felixkruip ok great. Yes in fact I was thinking of using a birch wooden top from IKEA or something similar but definitely not honeycomb. Do you have any recent videos or pics with the current setup?
@@federicoverdicchio updated setup video is coming very soon!
Does it have a mild motor sound while moving up and down?
Absolutely
how's the wobble? the forward and back motion of the table top at different heights.
BTOD says, the front to back the stability of the Ikea Idasen is the best they've tested by far to date. Check their video for more specs about the difference in height stability. Personally, I haven't had any issues with stability.
@@felixkruip BTOD isn't trusted, in fact nearly all the review sites have financial incentives and shady histories. Thats why we are all looking for actual users because we cannot trust even these comprehensive sites like BTOD or wirecutter
is this possible for 3-27" monitor? please need some advice... i'm planning to buy...
Did you find out?
Hey friend, since owning it have you had any trouble with sag or anything! Just bought one and worried my monitor and nzxt midtower case might put a lot of pressure on it?
Still going strong, you will see in my next desk setup video!
Does Memory function works in PC App?
Yes, although it is a bit buggy for me at some times.
Is the desk easy to clean? And how waterproof is the tabletop? For example, will spilling water on it cause permanent damage?
Thanks!
Easy to clean, water proof!
Does it come with the top?
Yep!
Prayign your still active on this but do you think you could fit 2 24 inch monitors plus a pc tower?
Yea sure!
Hello, i сhoose this table, but i have a question for you is it shaking?
A bit when it's in standing position.
Hey seeing you have some audio setup there, relatively big monitors, is it stable when you put it in standing position? I will have two monitors, interfaces, two speaker monitors and a few controllers! I was wondering if the bigger size (80x160 cm) is a good option
It's stable enough. I would suggest going for the bigger size!
@@felixkruip Well IKEA's inventory is pretty bad! I got the 70x120 size!
@@AidaKhorsandi Great. Let me know how it turned out for you!
atx case with 60% air in it, 2 big boxes, yeah good job i guess :D
If I lower my Idåsen after not using the motors for a while, my desk jerks slightly and makes a "kadonk" sound as its begins lowering. It's nothing major but noticeable.
If I then keep moving it up and down, it starts moving more smoothly. But after a long break it's as if the motors become surprised that they're activated again. I'm way below the maximum weight and the screws are tight.
Raising it is never a problem. Is that normal?
That doesn't sound great... I'm not an expert, but I would send an email to Linak since they handle the motor part. I would also call Ikea to ask for any help.
Did you find out?
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?
I actually think this may have to do with the one wire that goes through the middle and connects the master to the other side. Did you check that connection?
Did you find out?
what size is your moniter i really need to know
This monitor is 27" :)
I just want the tabletop anyone have a link?
This is the product code of the table top: 403.609.91
Do you have any sag since you've owned this desk with your computer on it?
0 as far as I know...
hey just wondering how is the desk top handling the monitor clamp after several months usage?
Like a champ! 💪🏼

@@felixkruip Wow, thank you so much! Great video btw 😁
Do you have any issues with your knees hitting the middle bar while the desk is in the sitting position?
Absolutely not 😆
i gather that issue is sorted by its amazing minimum height, especially if you put a 1.8cm top. then it's even better
