Ikea Fredrik Alternative?

ubersonic · 20 May 2015 at 10:20

Odd one this, but does anyone know of any kind of alternative to the Ikea Fredrik desk which are currently available to order online? Ikea stopped making them some time ago and don't sell anything comparable. I have seen a couple on eBay/Gumtree but the sellers have no interest in shipping them and they are well out of my way so don't fancy a 500mi round trip just to collect lol.

Fell in love with this desk after seeing one in a post your desk thread so if anyone knows of any comparable alternatives that would be great ta

Was the Fredrik not replaced by the Galant which has now been replaced by the Bekant? All look pretty much the same

No the Galant was always just a standalone desk.

I have one of those Frederik desks in a garage literally unboxed then packed away into a garage as we moved! (never used it!)

Yeah, sadly it's borderline useless thanks to the stupid cutout in the middle, I thought about bolting a piece of steel over it but the would probably be too much flex.
