Inter link Ibo Desk Maple Veneer MDF Metal, Maple, 117 x 62-93 x 73 cm

Excellent value for money. I was looking for a basic standing desk and chose the Ibo because it was by far the least expensive. Nonetheless the desk exceeded my expectations. It is solid and stable and has features I was not anticipating: tilting surface and fitted metal ruler; presumably it is suitable for a draftsman. Assembly was a bit more complex than expected but that was because it has more features than I anticipated; the packaging, process and instructions were up to the best Ikea standards.

As per the review concerning damage the corners of this item definitely need some form of protection. I think they sent it out again and it was my turn.I was fortunate that the damage was on the leading edge of the desk and so is hidden under the corner moulding of the pen tray. If it were on the back edge it would have had to be returned.The assembly instructions are at best passable and I still have no idea what the multi coloured rubber strips are for. I used a drill to make some pilot holes for the underside desk brackets as the indentations provided looked like a pencil had been pressed into them. Useless and you run the risk of screws going in at an angle if you do not drill them first.Lowering or raising the desk to the required height is a 2 person job unless you are fortunate enough to have arms something akin to the wing span of a Albatross.Once assembled though it is sturdy, looks good and it does what it was designed for.

Just to let you know I have now put the Interlink Ibo Desk together and I think it's a great product, very easy to put together, instructions are good and very well made, it's ideal for a budding artist or draughtsman, you can adjust the height and tip of desk top, excellent product , very pleased.Ken Painter.....

Amazing item, fully sized table big enough for everyday use as a desk/workstation, durable, tilting table top to allow you to draw or paint, with a removable pencil/brushes tray on the front which I found handy. Takes about 10 minutes to put together, be warned the table is much heavier than you'd expect so you'd be best having another person help.

Ultimately you get what you pay for. After assembling, (correctly) I found that due to the metal-work being of a light gauge it resulted in quite a lot of horizontal and vertical flex, leading to movement which isn't great for my usage,The desk is fine for kids homework or light general use. Slightly disappointed.It was easy to build, quite a lot of parts but they are clearly labelled. It had a rough time during transit but the packaging absorbed most of it, there was slight damage to one of the work surface corners.

Really great adjustable desk! It's really hard to find a desk with variable height settings in this price range and many desk makers make their desks way too high, they need to learn about ergonomics!It's sturdy. and has some awesome extra features. It's great for computer use or arts and craft or even studying with books.Some negatives: myhermes delivered this product and it came a day late even with prime, which was annoying.It took over 3 hours to build! It's a very fiddly process, not streamlined like an ikea product.You need an electric drill because screws need to be screwed into the underside of the desk and they have not pre-drilled these holes, just marked them with a tiny indentation.But once you've finished building it, it's a great product, i'm thrilled with it.

Desk top arrived with a great deal of damage to the corner - like I was getting somebody else's return.

If you're looking for a tiltable design table / drawing board that won't be heavily loaded, and don't mind a bit of problem-solving with your DIY this may be for you. Otherwise read on."Some assembly required" would be an understatement. The instructions are poorly printed and stapled, and do not explain how to attach certain parts (such as the mysterious assorted lengths of rubber tubing), nor do the provided bolts and washers all look like those in the instructions, which is quite confusing. It is possible to assemble it alone if you're fairly fit, otherwise follow their advice and get help.Be careful not to hit yourself in the nose with the ratchets when putting the final bolts in. Especially if sensitive ears are nearby.Height adjustment is difficult once the top is on. Two large hand screws (think thumb-screws but larger) at the lower back set the height, and once they're in place you have to be able to hold the table up to re-set them. This either requires patience, 2 people, or as another reviewer mentioned, a car-jack. I probably won't be doing this, as it's hurting my wrists trying to use it as a standing desk -- it's too low at full extension -- so I think I'll be lowering it and sitting down. I'm about 5'9".Assembly aside, my second impressions (after I got over the disappointment of being non-adjustable) are that it's a fairly good desk. Stability isn't perfect but it won't fall apart if you're putting a laptop, peripherals and modern monitor on it. I wouldn't rely on it supporting a CRT screen but LCDs should be fine.It's an appropriate size for me, enough space for the computer and a bit extra for right-hand input peripherals, coffee, papers etc. The killer feature for computer use is the metal tray under the worksurface: it really tidies up your cables! See photos.Overall it's a bit expensive, not adjustable, not easy to assemble, but once you're done it's a reasonable desk with a few perks.
