Reviews
Pretty but not sturdyJamieAs another reviewer mentioned, the legs have wooden dowels that are not glued in and one of my table legs keeps falling apart. I am going to have to purchase wood glue to ensure the table is sturdy. Given that I will be making art on this table it's disappointing that it is relatively shaky/unsolid. Also, the top scratched within the first day without any clue as to why. While the table is very pretty to look at and ultimately I am hoping to salvage it a bit, I can't particularly recommend it, especially for artistic use.
Fell ApartJeremiahI read other reviews saying that Ikea lowered the quality of this item, but I decided to give it a try. About a week into owning it, the pre-assembled supports fell apart. I don't see a way to submit a picture of it with my review unfortunately. It seems clear that no glue was used in the joints. Ikea simply friction-fit the parts using dowels (very lousy). I went ahead and glued the product back together. I think it'll hold. In general, I still think this is a decent product for the price, but I'm also going to question before buying more items from Ikea.
Great looking and sturdy support JerryInitially, I was hesitant about buying these support. Very happy after installing these support on the two tables also purchased at IKEA.
Unique, super sturdy = LOVE IT!JamesPurchased this to go with my Malskytt desk top. Everything works so well together & really looks sharp. Once assembled & everything is tightened down, you get a COOL-LOOKING, unique & sturdy desk! Highly recommend this combo if you want a good-looking, large & useful workspace. Super-easy assembly. Recommend you use your own allen wrenches as the screws are tight (which you want). The small wrenches really start to dig into your hand & fingers & become hard to turn. You need the extra grip provided by an allen screwdriver or allen key sent. Super high value for money, beats the tar off of many more expensive desks I checked out - and I didn't even see this one in person. Ordered it right off the website.
Disappointed MargaretThis one was smaller and weaker than my original one which I bought ten years ago. The wood was thin, the finish on it was horrible and craftsmanship was lacking.
SawHorses RobertExcellent!
Mittback MiniJudithWe have an original pair of these trestles
from 20+ years ago when Mittback was a well designed and highly functional solution for a office, apartment dining room, or workshop. This newer version, which we just assembled for use as a desk, is smaller in nearly every dimension and does not match in appearance or structural quality the original. It's disappointing because the original epitomized IKEA's better ideas and I'd rather pay more for that quality (keeping up with inflation) than pay the same for less.
This is still a reasonable item and best suited for small spaces and light use.
great desk Kathleenjust love my new desk . because it is so adjustable.
Perfect!KendallEasy to put together, worked perfectly for a desktop I wanted to add to my space. Very pleased with purchase
CHEAPER IN QUALITY LilianaI got a pair of these desk legs a few years ago and despite the price I was very pleased with them as the quality was good too. I have since bought another pair recently and the price has not changed but the quality is way worse than it used to be. The wood is much thinner and noticeably frailer and smaller than my original pair. If the price went down with the quality, I’d understand, but paying the same amount for something that is now worse in quality is ridiculous. Very disappointing. IKEA has gotten cheap and greedy.
Ruined my table and now I’m out $100+EvanDon’t try to screw in your bolts to be completely flush or else you will notice four bumps in every spot. Learned this the hard way as now my table top is ruined and my bolts have all stripped so I’m out my support too. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!!!
MittbackHelenWhen you add them to small or medium desktop there is not a lot of room under desk because they are wider, if you wanted to use at chair height. Definitely only use with large desktop.
Typical IkeaJeanetteGreat product
Going strong for over 20 years! JacquelineKudos to Ikea for continuing to stock this quality product. Our trestles are white, but they are the exact same product. They are strong enough to support whatever robust top you choose. We combined them with one of Ikea's really beefy butcher block tops to serve as a desk in 2000, and they continue to perform and look as handsome as when we purchased them.

It is a good sturdy leg for building your own tableHandanIt is a good sturdy leg for building your own table
Good qualityAdrianaJust what I needed
Easy to put togetherLindaIt was easily put together took me less than 30 minutes for two. My only suggestion is to use a larger handled Allen wrench than comes with the legs. Looks great, paired it with the bamboo top.

What is solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favorite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the tree species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
