Ideal for small roomAnonymous reviewerDaughter bought this for bedroom as works from home and had little space, ideal for computer and screen with little room taken up4
Fantastic desk made even better with a keyboard tray hackAnonymous reviewerI bought this desk a few years ago and it’s been a joy to build and use. It fits perfectly in my small living room space and easily holds my 24" monitor and laptop for daily use. The built-in cable hole and lower shelf are great for hiding power bricks, extension leads, and all the wiring, keeping everything neat. Assembly was straightforward, and I like that the metal leg can be positioned on either side to suit the room layout. Since I mainly use it as a computer desk, I made a small adaptation: I removed the drawer, cut a solid piece of wood from my old desk to the same dimensions, fitted it onto the runners, and wrapped it in black. This simple hack turned the drawer space into a sliding keyboard and mouse tray, which feels like part of the original design and makes the desk much more ergonomic. It’s also freed up valuable space on the main surface, which is especially useful given the desk’s shallow depth.5
Perfect deskAnonymous reviewerIt is ideal for small space, easy to put together, my 14y old son assembled by himself 👍5
DeskAnonymous reviewerGreat desk and easy to assemble 5
Micke Is The Tops !!!Anonymous reviewerWow !!! What a great little desk, easy to assemble and very sturdy once built, was a little concerned by the review negatives re not being sturdy and problem fitting drawer, can only say if you follow the instructions you can't really go wrong, you get a great desk great at a great price 😀5
DeskAnonymous reviewerLovely desk. My granddaughter loves it.very sturdy and easy to assemble.5
FabAnonymous reviewerModern, space saving desk. Easy to put together. Would be amazing if you could purchase a protector for the top or glass. 5
micke deskAnonymous reviewersmaller than expected but great fit easy to built 4
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerLightweight and wobbly. Draw feels flimsy. Even though the top surface is about 25mm thick, it's very light (because it isn't solid, just veneer and probably corrigated material inside). The usual odd-ball IKEA design (metal leg on one side, wooden the other). Very angular and square looking. Easy enough to assemble, like most IKEA stuff. But once assembled, it's obious it's not very stable. Even my 12 year old son noticed how wobbly it was even though he's only using it to support a monitor and a PS5. If this was for writing or typing on - it would be awful. Bit of an impulse buy as it neatly fitted the space we had. I'm treating it as a stop gap it until it falls apart.1
Not very durableAnonymous reviewerThis desk looks nice but after just a month or so of use already has two very noticeable chips in the veneer/paper foil right at the front. I’ve used it carefully and not slammed anything in to it, it must have come just from tucking my desk chair in to it (which is mostly made of plastic). Doesn’t seem very durable at all.2
Brilliant Anonymous reviewerAmazing quality as always 5
idealAnonymous reviewerI needed to change from a larger desk to a smaller desk and was going in a alcove. fits like a glove looks really good too5

Accessories for MICKE

Material

What is constructed board?

We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fibreboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

"My idea with the MICKE series was to simplify everything we do with our computers and mobile phones in today's high-tech world. Like keeping in touch with friends, downloading films and music, working or printing out tickets. The goal was to create a real dream product with maximum functions in a minimum space. One smart thing is the built-in cable management, so you can hide away all the cables. Another is that all the parts have the same depth and height so everyone can create their own favourite combination."
