    Had pretty much this set up (minus the monitor stands) for the last nearly fifteen years - back when they were still called Expedits! Always did me well through uni and right up to present day.
    Great for vinyl storage and perfectly fits a four channel mixer plus two turntables. Gets a bit crowded now I've bought some CD decks, but a pair of clamp stands fit pretty well either side of the mixer, and still give you enough room underneath for the turntables.
    Only recommendation for those using it for vinyl storage is the unit can be a bit wobbly when you flicking through your tunes. Get it anchored or buy another one specifically to house your records!

      Hey bro it will take them just about - But you can get a bigger & longer version of this desk, Or you can get a 'table top' from Ikea and just buy 4 legs which is a bit more basic but cheaper!

    Great job bro! Quick question, did you do anything to the unfinished side of the lack shelf? I've seen different set ups with the shelves facing a wall so it's easily hidden. But what if you don't use a wall...what do you do with the unfinished side?

    Great video. Are there instructions on how to put these individual pieces together? Particularly securing the speaker shelves to the Kallax table. I'm about to make this set up but want to make sure it looks as pristine and professional as possible when I'm done. So using the correct screws, dimensioning everything correctly, etc.

    I'm a PC builder and I was looking to build a new desk myself. Custom length, but regular depth. I was thinking of making my own top using resin and various techniques to create a sort of star/space theme. The wood alone was going to cost £400!
    I shopped around and managed to get the price down to £300, but the resin top would cost £100.
    I looked on Amazon and saw a VASAGLE desk, so I bought one plain and a slightly different one with shelves to go around a corner (90 degrees). Both cost less than £150 delivered.
    It looks fantastic and serves it's purpose beautifully.
    I still don't understand how a home made desk costs hundreds of £££'s more in timber alone.

    8 months later my desk became unstable, i have realized the middle of the kallax has bent. I tried adding 2 more legs in the middle but it became a rocking horse. I have removed legs for now, and after a month or so i will add them back but rather on the end of the table i will move them in one cube in to see if it supports better. Note. i did buy the longer capital legs but i am not sure that has to it with. It seems the ikea wood bent over time. perhaps because its hollow now.

    Nice video!
    This stand is the 4x2 square holes at £45...
    What about getting the 4x3 square holes at £60 from the Kallax range? This would cut out the need for the legs / drilling. Plus give u an extra 4 compartments for vinyls or accessories? And it would give u a total height of 112cm in any case (1.12m) which is tall enough for most people. Or will the legs add more stability than not having them?
    Just a thought 😊

    @Danny_kay 2 года назад

    I've actually been looking at this just now before looking on youtube but I'm fussy because i want it a specific size because i have a wall coming out from another wall which is 2ft deep so the way i was going to do it which is the same as in this video it isn't deep enough.
    But i know of another way which are the PAX wardrobe frames people that have Tortoises as pets use them they buy the biggest one and flip it so the back becomes the bottom and that acts as a tortoise table. So i'll be using the same but the smaller ones which are 200cm high, 50cm wide and 58cm deep, I will then flip it so 200cm will now be the length and 50cm will now be the hight but i will get x2 of the PAX wardrobe which will make the total hight of 100cm which is the high i need well i actually need 105 hight but 100cm high is good enough i can even get smaller legs from Screwfix if need be. I will then buy 6x shelfs in total for 2x Pax wardrobe and 6x shelfs its £120. This comes in Black and White and comes is all different sizes i could of just got one big PAX wardrobe but i got the smallest one so it looks more like the KALLAX once the shelfs are in and because its a wardrobe frame there is holes for the shelfs so you can make the spacing as deep or as shallow as you like so you can space them out so it looks like the KALLAX.
    And again because its a wardrobe and not made to be flipped glue and/or screws will be required to glue/screw the two wardrobes together and the shelfs.
