Ikea Hack Standing DJ Stand Laptop Turntable Stand

I have wanted a standing desk to dj at with a proper height so I am not hunched over spinning, and found this http://www.ikeahackers.net/2011/01/wide-standing-desk.html?m=1
Threw some LED lights on it (ground-fx) and it’s a great DJ table.

Parts from Ikea run about $250

i like it ! reminds me of richie hawtin’s stand on that NI video explaining his setup
… how are those legs supporting the weight so far ?

That looks good. Does it have five legs?

EDIT: nevermind, clicked on link.

Are the TT tonearms & pitchfader as far back as they look in the picture?

I recommend not having them in battle formation, lol.

Wait… is that a Rane 68?

If so, I’m experiencing so much gear envy right now.

That looks pretty sick, I’ll have to see about getting myself one of them when I get a place of my own. My back starts to hurt a bit after DJing for a while with my current set up

Thanks for the heads up on this, I’ve been browsing around for a proper table for quite a while and have never found anything that really fits… this might just work. To get the proper height right now I have $5k worth of gear propped on a cardboard box; just doesn’t look right.

Yeah the tables are for serato, and I am thinking about letting them go, once I anchor the table to the wall they will come out further, but I don’t want them to tip over spilling my setup, I need to lower the legs about 4 inches, and anchor it to the wall then the tables can come-out, but I am seriously considering letting the tables go now that the proper asio drivers are out for the rane 68.

I’m curious if anybody has tried the adjustable legs Ikea sells.

Thats nicer then the ikea table I got, but mine was cheap and as a drawer. Its works great and hold my cdjs 400s djm 700 mixer with laptop stand and midifighter. Yours is executed way better.

I plan on making something similar. I just moved in with my in laws which is really cramped but my father in law is a great carpenter. He has been showing me the ropes and I plan on building one with plenty of room for my toys and storage underneath for records. That is going to be my fall project.

If anyone has other pictures of self made DJ desks/tables please post them I love to see new ideas.
