Fredrik Ikea desk

It says it only holds up to 19" monitors? Is this right or wrong?

Would it hold two 24inch monitors and my computer?

It says up to 19" and your asking if the manufacturer, the ones who test this equipment, would lie about the maximum weight?

whats the worst that could happen? :confused:

I have the one with the shelves which I've made into a standing desk. It'll hold a 21" iMac no problem. The wider desk without the shelves, I wouldn't be sure on.

It's ikea

It could turn into a pile of dust, with that amount of weight on it.

Doesn't look like dust to me.

Surely someone has tried it?

Didn't you already make a thread about a desk?

Mine has a 27" Screen, my Fractal Full-tower case, speakers and a hell of a lot of room to spare. So no it won't hold up to a 19" monitor...

That was a chair

Looks like it would explode if it was hit by a light breeze

UnworthyBean · 25 Jul 2011 at 20:11

I don't think its about the weight really, Mine held a TJ07 and 2 22" monitors, Probably a good 20-30kg in total?

Was a bit packed so I'm not sure if you'll get away with 2 24" monitors but measure it up and see.

That must be one heavy 19" monitor ... like maybe a 19" CRT.

d_brennen · 25 Jul 2011 at 20:13

That desk is pretty damn big, I'm sat at one.

Raikiri · 25 Jul 2011 at 20:22

I stood on top of my Ikea Jonas desk more than once when I had it. If that can take a 32" screen, two massive speakers and 170lb of me then I'm sure it'll be ok.

Going to Ikea at the weekend so will test it for durability and maybe run out of the shop

RJC · 25 Jul 2011 at 20:36

I currently use that desk with a dell U2410 monitor and did have the 2405 as well, been using for the past 2 years without issue

It will be talking about CRT screens.
