Kallax desk - finding the right table top

Post image

I'm trying to build a desk using the kallax shelf units but can't find a table top that would fit the unit like shown in either picture. I wanted to create the one shown on the right. Found the legs and kallax but no luck on the table top. Gave up on that style and tried to look for the pieces to create the one shown on the left and ran I to the same issue. Does IKEA no longer create a table top that fits perfectly on top? Some of my research showed the linnmon would fit but the one shown on the website is too small for either layout. Any suggestions?

help Calling creative hackers - ikea order packing setup?

3 Upvotes

I run an online bookstore out of my small NYC apartment. I’m trying to figure out how to assemble different bits and bobs to make a DIY ikea order packing table in a space that is 18” deep and 68” wide.

Right now in thinking maybe an Alex or kallax on each side with closing doors on the kallax - plus a sit/stand desk? I feel like I could do better though. Alas, I lack The Vision

Basically thinking of a system where I can store tissue paper, plastic for waterproofing, things like stickers and bookmarks. I probably won’t be able to fit boxes no matter how creative I get - and a surface to get me off of packing on the floor and save my back
