Computer Desk Karlby - Pictures?

[DomBruv]

Can't decide on the 186x3.8 cm vs 246x3.8 cm karlby walnut in terms of size,

does anyone have a picture of either the shorter one or the longer one?

Currently, have the Lemmon which is somewhere in between them both.

I was looking into same sort of stuff recently. Check youtube, there's tons of videos.

I'm thinking of changing my gerton to a karlby for the walnut and longer size instead of staining this. I'm a little worried about depth though, the karlby looks really shallow, about 15cm shorter than the gerton if memory serves? Seems like it might look a little too much like a kitchen worktop in your office rather than a desk? Wouldnt have room for a monitor stand either i guess? Might actually be better posting this in 'case central' there is a desk thread on there withi plenty of pics etc. Might not catch people's attention here in general.

Ikea right?

246 might need a 3rd middle support or it could bend....

I’ve got the longer one - happy to put up a picture or two if you’d like?

Some of these posts sounds like absolute nonsense if you don't understand the IKEA naming style

As it's not solid wood you'll possibly need to support the back/middle of the desk so it doesn't sag.

Excuse the mess. This is the longer one. Reinstalling windows, so it's a bit messy.

I’m puzzled as to how reinstalling windows can cause a mess

OK, I had an issue with an SSD, so removed this, took my machine apart and reinstalled an m.2 drive as well as another SSD. I also moved things out the way to get my computer out, and happen to have 2 GPUs on my desk as well I removed from another machine to send to a mate.

Is that a better explanation for you squire?

I can see myself !

I am planing to have the exact same setup with the worktop and the 2 x side units. Seems it will not sag?

I thought he meant he had some blokes in redoing his PVC at first.

thanks this helps a lot,

deffo getting this one,

how come no one lines up with the draws with the desk, everyone seems to have them over hanging?

I notice you have no middle support, have you noticed any sag?

Already got a foot in the middle of my linnmon, I guess I'll just drill that one in if I see any issues

depth a lot shorter, but slightly bigger than the limmon
