Hello, can you tell me where you got this desk from? ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/DSC01371.JPG



Is it an Ikea item? Turns out we have two of these downstairs and no one knows where they came from. TIA


It's an Ikea "computer workstation" from about three years ago, discontinued since.

It's nice, very sturdy, insanely hard to assemble in the Ikea tradition.

Figured, couldn't find it on the Ikea site. The desks they have now look rickety.

The FREDRIK stuff looks the same with out the curved table top.

That does look about the same. It's a very nice workbench.

Occasionally they do have really solid stuff. We bought a guest bed that is an all-metal frame. Looks like you could have two 300-pounders in there and it wouldn't budge. The Ivar cabinets I use for part storage OTOH are not that impressive, IMHO.

I guess I'll have to look a the Fredrik in person to see for myself, just by the picture I guess it's hard to tell if it'll be the same.

The ones we already have have a little swing-away side-tray where I keep a little lunchbox Tek. I hope they still make that add-on.

Search for "Jerker Workstation", it is what John has and Ikea discontinued it. If you want a Jerker, Craigslist or Ebay is most likely the way to go.

Cheers
