hi
i'm new here and this is my first post, (hopefully i have the right section aswell, if not, can someone move it)
Also hopefully the title makes sense. I have an Expedit 4x4 unit, which i love, and i love the look of the new Expedit Desk
IKEA | Tables & desks | Desks | EXPEDIT | Desk
however, the desk is just to small for my needs :-(
However, accross the showroom, i saw a Mikael, which has a bigger top and seems to be exactly the same height!
My idea would be to use one leg and the top from the Mikael, and the clamps from the Expedit Desk to create my own solution.
I have two problems though, which is why i am here, asking for your help/advice/assistance/solutions:
1) Does anyone here know if it possible to buy the two claps that attach the Expedit Desk to the unit seperatly? I have read somewhere that the instruction manual may have part numbers to request at customer service? Does anyone have a copy of this? Or ideas?
2) The Mikael, does have a sort of cross beam for stability / support, that i imagine it needs due to its size. Ideas to solve this ? Solutions of thought of to date are possibly a middle leg support, or perhaps some sort of L / Triangle bracket, underneath on the leg side?
Any help/advice on either of these would be much appreciated :-D
Thanks for reading !
