The desk is not massive. One of the solutions it's to add a set of drawers which are same height. I will upload the video how to assemble Micke set of drawers shortly
It will be unstable, I have shown it in my video. If you don't want to lean the desk against the wall you have use additional fastening to secure the shelving unit better and firmer.
i cant screw the back screws on through the paint. i need an electric screwdriver or something.... why didnt they make these parts open wood like the other screw in portions....
hi! i would like to buy this for my dorm desk but i’m not allowed to drill or glue anything to it. it stable without screwing it to the desk? if it’s not, do you have any suggestions on how to secure it?
Got onto this other video as you can see. Do you have to have the small shelving within the main frame? I personally dont think I'd use it and I could use the space for two monitors
Ciao! Io l'ho comprata ma non sono soddisfatto quindi la voglio restituirla, secondo te visto che a 4:33 si deve bucare la parte esterna della scrivania potrebbero non ritirarmela?
so, i bought the top half of the desk too and i dont want it on. can i remove it without tools? also when i push the top half backwars towards the wall it tilts back, not sure why. :)
Yes, the desk is rather small so the shelves create a bit of extra space. You can check this video if you are not sure: ua-cam.com/video/myxAByiIhZk/v-deo.html
I think IKEA have given me two of the same side posts:’) when I line up the holes for the first screws that go in, one side has the wood showing and the other has the colour of the desk showing (white). If I flip it so the grainy part is showing, the screw holes are at the bottom of the desk! Nightmare!🥲
This unit is absolutely useless. Not attached to the desk properly and at risk of falling as soon as you move table even slightly. False advertising by Ikea. Don't buy this stupid thing. On the other hand video is great; I was unlucky enough to buy 2 desks and these units. Opened one and used this video to install it. However, I am going to send the other one back.
super clean! love it. thanks for replying to my other comment, can't wait to get my desk ^^
Any time! I hope you won't have to wait too long :)

Thank you for being the only person to measure the inner dimensions so clearly.
You are so welcome!
Super, nice and simple tutorial 😊 you helped me to save half an hour!
WHAT A RELIEF I DIDNT HAVE TO BREAK DOWN THE MAIN DESK TO ADD THE TOP PART!!!!! Thank you for the video
You're welcome!
@@k-nemo I missed placed the screws for the piece to attach the top to the bottom. What size is it?
Thank you so much!!! I bought the hutch for my dorm room, but I needed the inside dimensions to get a monitor. This helped so much!
Thanks for sharing, especially giving details of the various dimensions.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Hello, I'm just wondering how to unscrew the big bolts. Mine don't come out
Awesome video. Can you switch the side of the quadrangular leg so it is on left side and and the cabinet side is on right?
Yes. ua-cam.com/video/myxAByiIhZk/v-deo.html
Hi! Could you tell me the name of the tool you used to make the holes before you put the screws in?
It is a center punch.
k-nemo thanks for replying! I went out and bought one,and I just finished my desk today
@@Miss-right17 Well done
Exactly one I have. It is actually super small for a example a gaming setup

@@k-nemo nah I’m gonna buy another desk that comes with shelf’s from Amazon if it’s back from stock anytime soon because I’m gonna buy a gaming setup
@@k-nemo but maybe I will change my mind if u do that vid soon cuz mine is a little scratched up
since there are no holes on the back of the desk can i just use an electric screwdriver or drill?
I would like to buy this desk. Are there really no holes on the back of the main desk? Will I need to use an electric screwdriver or drill to do this?
That's my question too.do I need to make the holes on the back of the desk myself?
I don’t have any holes in mine either. Gonna have to make them. But honestly it should have just come with them, sucha simple thing to do for ikea
Do I need to make the holes on the desk myself? Mine dont have holes :(
It is fastend at the back. No holes on the top.
@@k-nemo ah sorry so the shelf doesn’t actually attach to the desk itself?
All I'm worried about is if the add on unit falls to the back and be unstable, do I have to back it up against the wall for it to stay stable?
It will be unstable, I have shown it in my video. If you don't want to lean the desk against the wall you have use additional fastening to secure the shelving unit better and firmer.
@@k-nemo please what kind of additions will help to make it more secure
Comment on fait pour enlever le haut ducoup
Long shot that you reply to this, but what's the name of the tool you used to make the holes on the bottom part of the add-on unit?
It is a center punch. I could have used a nail or a wood screw. But this looks more professional 🙃
@@k-nemo Oh thank you!
Was this the black-brown colour?
Can you remove the top half? A installed but I don't want it anymore and I don't how to remove it
Yes, you can remove it. Just reverse the process.
Does the add on shelf unit fit the malm desk?
Can you please tell me what size the pins are for the shelf? I can’t find them anywhere and I’m missing some 😩
You can find the ikea shelf pin 101514 on the internet. Diameters 3mm and 5mm. Or use a nail.
i cant screw the back screws on through the paint. i need an electric screwdriver or something.... why didnt they make these parts open wood like the other screw in portions....
No holes?
Merci pour cette vidéo qui m'a bien aidée!
aucun problème
Do you have a depth measurement of the top part?

You have to screw it to the desk from the back as in the video. It has to stand against the wall.
@@k-nemoisn’t it enough to just put it on top of my desk and against the wall? are the screws absolutely neccesary?
hey could you let me know of the under desk chair space measurement? I want to make sure my chair will fit. Helpful video :)

@@k-nemo thank you!
Can I build the desk to where the drawers are on the right side or does it ha e to be on the left side
The storage unit can be on the right or left side, it's totally up to you
@@k-nemo ok thank you
@@3xy575 No problem:)
Hey I got the same one just in white
I'm really happy with my purchase. Are you with yours?
k-nemo yes
do you have to make holes in the back for the shelf part at the back? mine doesn't have holes on the shelf divider itself
I used centre punch. I showed it on the video. It is a soft material. You can fit screws without making holes. With centre punch it is more accurate.
Got onto this other video as you can see. Do you have to have the small shelving within the main frame? I personally dont think I'd use it and I could use the space for two monitors
No, you don't have to install the smal shelving, the add on unit will be stable without it
Ciao! Io l'ho comprata ma non sono soddisfatto quindi la voglio restituirla, secondo te visto che a 4:33 si deve bucare la parte esterna della scrivania potrebbero non ritirarmela?
No, non ci saranno buchi sulla scrivania
@@k-nemo ok
so, i bought the top half of the desk too and i dont want it on. can i remove it without tools? also when i push the top half backwars towards the wall it tilts back, not sure why. :)
You have to remove the screws at the back. You only need a screwdriver.
Is the shelf beam important for support or can I remove it for more desk space?
The two short shelves are not supporting anything, so you don't have to install them
I mean that thing you built kan you leave a link in description
Do you think the add-on is worth it
Yes, the desk is rather small so the shelves create a bit of extra space. You can check this video if you are not sure: ua-cam.com/video/myxAByiIhZk/v-deo.html
Can u assemble the whiteboard on the left side and shelves on right?
Yes.
@@k-nemo do you need the whitborad ? Cause I don't want the whiteboard
hi, with the back panel on, is there ventilation for a computer? Or would you have to remove the back panel. Thank you again.
(the whiteboard bit)
You can't remove it. It will be unstable.
Is there a way to better secure the add on? Would a couple L brackets work?
Yes. But it may not be nice.
hiiii! I’m just wondering if you have to put have the whiteboard on the back, is it possible to build the desk without it??
It won't be possible to attach the shelfs to the desk without it.
I've a question I'm gonna buy this desk on tbe website it has the top part assembled too do I need to buy this separately
separately
I just bought this desk and it all came together 🤷♀️
Thank you ! Soo helpful
You're welcome!
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
I think IKEA have given me two of the same side posts:’) when I line up the holes for the first screws that go in, one side has the wood showing and the other has the colour of the desk showing (white). If I flip it so the grainy part is showing, the screw holes are at the bottom of the desk! Nightmare!🥲
Hey I am trying to remove the part of the shelf to the side. Can you do a tutorial on that? Thanks
Hit it gently from below the shelf.sometimes the space for shelf is very tight.
@@k-nemo Oh ok. Thanks!
What's the name of the add on thing on top????
It's called Ikea Micke add on unit
What's the name of the add on? I cant find it.
Ikea Micke add-on unit
Kan you leve it in the description
What do you mean
thank you so much! you saved me!!! haha
You're welcome!
Why does the right inner side has holes? Ikea is so dumb
Because you can have the shelves on the left or the right and different height

Are you able to remove the white/wooden part at the very back of the desk and still have the hutch part firmly supported?
Not. It will be unstable.
@@k-nemo Ok thanks, also another thank you for replying very quick 👍
Hi, the white part behind the monitor is a white board to use markers on it?
