Ekby Alex Writing/Sofa Table
Materials: Ekby Alex & Vika Lage/Moliden
Description: I was in search for a very small writing table, but could never find one that would fit my small space. I've seen the Ekby used a few times, but not in the combo I ended up using (at least not yet).
Anyway all you need is the Ekby Alex & either the Vika Lage/Moliden legs. It's pretty simple, attach the legs to the Ekby. I pre-drilled the holes to prevent the wood from being damaged further. After I put it together I noticed it was a little tall, not too bothersome though. I have my chair on the highest setting and it's comfortable. This could also be used as a sofa table. When I rearrange I plan on trying it out as that.

Hmm, could be a nice DJ table... what are the full top dimensions?
ReplyDeleteThanks!

That's cute, but I'd not pile expensive DJ equipment on it without bracing those long legs. One push to either side with 60lbs of weight on it and you'll have a MAJOR COLLAPSE.
ReplyDeleteSimple yet elegant but this table is not suitable for those who are very cluttered in their things!
ReplyDeleteCute, but once again I have to ask, as always with these tables, WHERE DO YOUR LEGS GO?
ReplyDeleteAwesome but VIKA CURRY legs are a LOT cheaper. all 4 legs for the price of one Vika Moliden leg.
ReplyDeleteI made this with the CURRY legs, and it was wobbly and terrible. The legs were too close together for it to be stable due to the wide disk at the top that attaches it to the bottom of the unit. It might be more stable with the thin legs like LAGE/MOLIDEN which can be placed further apart.
ReplyDeleteI want to use the Ekby Alex, with the brackets to hold my dvd player and bookshelf stereo, below my flat screen tv. I plan to mount the flat screen above the Ekby so I can turn move/turn it. It'll give me space on my dresser and a shelf that I have my stereo on can be used for something else. I just have to find a better antenna so that I can pick up more channels.
