This my ikea hacked production desk.

Gerton table top x2
Capita leg 8mm x4
Capita Bracket (Monitor Stands)
Alex Storage unit
Finnvard Trestle
Bräda Laptop stand x2 (Push and Maschine)

This is fucking awesome. That is super similar to my dream table.

How much weight can this ikea kit take? i've already got the bookcase i'm thinking of buying the extra parts and doing the same as the DJTT article but i have 2 Behringer truth monitors, they are passive but still weigh 25 1/2 lbs (11.5KG).

[edit]

I done a little sketch to show how i'm thinking.. get the bigger shelf but then there will be quite a bit of over hang at each side and then from the back. will the 2 angled legs be able to take the weight?

Love your setup, Peasey! Very clean. I just hit ikea this weekend, can't wait to post up some pics of my finished table

Having put one together myself and knowing the structural integrity of the pieces, I'd advise against this design. I have monitors that are similarly sized and I used 4 straight support legs. The way you have it here, you are bound to have your kit hit the deck sooner or later and that isn't a nice thing to come home to.

What's up everyone. This my first time posting. Just wanted say thanks for the inspiration. I found this thread last week and ended up building my own. I already had an expedit so I just had to buy the capita brackets, linnmon table top and lack shelf. The one extra thing I did end up doing was buying 6" corner braces and securing the linnmon table top to the wall. I noticed when I did any heavy scratching it did move a little bit, even with the weight of the records holding it down. That probably wouldn't happen on a hard floor. It's rock solid now.
