my new set up... ikea style on wheels

the whole ikea spend was £99 thats the tabletop the expedit wheels. and the the expedit bookcase..

the whole thing is solid.. the wheels have a bar running right to the other side to add stability and strength.

I was going to do this with a 4x4 along with the wheels but when I talked to the Ikea guy he was like those wheels will not hold up especially for heavier loads. And to think of it the expedit is pretty flimsy. How's it holding up for you? Like have you moved it around with it not ripping the wheels off?

its solid... i wouldnt move it with the table top on though.. the wheels are super strong... they come attatched with a bar running accross the bottom for extra stability...

i got the idea from the Chinese ikea advert which shows the book shelf actually with the wheels on and dj kit on the top...

in some countries you can actually buy the expedit with the wheels attached..

its all good and it doesn't wobble

These Expedit tables all look a little low. Is it just me? How is the height on these tables?

not low at all with wheels or legs..


mine is 95 - 98cm approx.. standard dj height is around 92cm. so this is actually a bit high!

its awesome!

This is not entirely Ikea but id think it still qualifies.

Had the speakers sitting in storage and figured would be great legs. The pieces of wood between the two boards i bought from Lowes and spray painted with flat black paint (although in retrospect i should have gone with semi-gloss). The separation between the two boards raises it just to the perfect height for me so that i dont have to bend over the decks and also gives me space to put the headphones and records in while mixing. All the ikea stuff was bought AS IS so it all comes out to about $30.

The LED light is an American Audio one, if i had to do it again id get the Ikea LEDs that go for 39.99 each.

The Techs are custom MK2 with matte black paint and custom refurbish and tune up done by djlotus. He really did an amazing job and i like how it blends into the desk color tone (will post setup in action pics later).

Has anyone tried using the Micke Ikea desk for their gear? I need a new desk and I want something that can hold my turntables, my computer and still let me do work and stuff. It looks great but I'm worried that it's not sturdy enough or it's not going to hold for a while.

I truly feel embarrased with my crappy ikea layout:



Thanks for all the amazing ideas guys. I'll get to working on my setup

The £20 Ikea CDJ Stand...

After having wooden stands and spacetek stands and all sorts for my CDJs i wanted something that can hold 3 CDJ 2000s flush together in the middle of the mixing area above my 1210s. After some investigation and a find on another website, I came out with this.

All I need to do is spray the tray and fittings Black as they are currently white, and cut the poles down as they are a bit high. But in all i'm very pleased.

This thread is definitely inspiration as I will be getting my setup from Ikea.

Just purchased all the stuff I need from ikea yesterday. Going to start my build in about a week or so. Just need my father in law to help me run some electric to the side of the room I am putting my stuff. I got most of my ideas from this thread and took certain ideas from various people here. I will post a pic when completed!
