QT. #3 IKEA | Adding Wheels to the NORDEN Gateleg Table
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 кві 2019
- Another feature we got for Robin's craft room was IKEA's sturdy NORDEN Gateleg table. It weighs 90lbs by itself, without any of it's storage compartments full of things. I wanted to make it a little easier for Robin to maneuver around her room, so I added some wheels. Here's a quick tip showing exactly what I did and how it turned out. :-)
These are what I should have got amzn.to/2HjvBtB
get 2 sets of the 1" as you need 6 wheels, but you will only use the locking ones on the legs that do not meet the table top support (as noted at end of the video)

Thanks in advance for your support, buy the wheels here amzn.to/2HjvBtB
Thank you so much for this gold review and the extra tips. It helped a lot!
Thank you so much! So far you're the only person I've found who actually tells us what wheels to get, and I greatly appreciate that.
You're welcome
Oh my goodness. Your video is a back saver! I bought this table a month ago and my back hurts every time I have to move it out to do crafts. Thank you, thank you, thank you.😀
Glad I could help!
Perfect! I've had my Norden Table for years and moving it is a beast. I was just looking to order the right wheels when I found this video.
I just bought a Norden table and look forward to having the casters installed.
This is such a useful video- thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience and for sharing the actual product you used as well! The tip about using brakes on opposite table corners and the swinging legs is a great one. 👌🏻
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been looking for a video like this forever! You're my hero!
So glad you found it useful
What a cute kitty.. it was interested in the moving table 😂
Thanks for the the video 🙏🏼
You were here for the cat too huh
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for sharing links. Very helpful!
Thank you. I've been trying to figure out the wheels for a couple of years and so now I will buy the table.
Fantastic! I'm assembling my IKEA Norden Gateleg table NOW. Your the reason I purchased it. If not for your link on IKEA I was going to pass. Rock-Star!
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much for creating this video :)
...and your such as patient guy. You answered the same questioned four times here! I always read thru the thread first so I won't ask a fifth time :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
No problem, glad I could help!
Thank you so much! I have been eyeing the Norden table for our kitchen and been wondering if I can put casters on them. When I found your video, I was so excited because it's exactly what I've been wanted to do. Thank you for showing us which casters to get and how to do it. This is awesome!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing your knowledge!💖💛💖💖
You are so welcome!
Thank you very much for showing how to install the wheels. Really appreciate your video. Thank you.
Glad to help
I haven't bought this one but I am considering buying and putting the wheels so thanks for Feb video!
Your video was very helpful! Thanks for posting!
Yes! I have been struggling with what wheels to get. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the video and great information! My desk is still in the box and my casters have been ordered thanks to you!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks so much! Been checking out this table, and wanted to add some extra height to it, but also having the flexibility of wheels would be great!
Thank you! Getting ready to purchase this table & needed to know how to put the wheels on. You UA-cam was so perfect!
Glad I could help
Thank for posting this video on adding wheels to the Norden table. Today, I’m attaching my wheel via your good advice. ☺️
So glad you found it useful :-)
Thank you too inspired 💕 already assembled mine
Thanks!!! This is exactly what I needed to know!!
Glad it was helpful!
awesome
Thanks for a great video - greetings from Mold in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!!! I put my table together today and put the wheels on it just like you suggested...I love it! I purchased the Bayite 4pk 1" low profile casters wheels from Amazon. The only thing I did differently was, on the swing out legs, I put the wheels on diagonally.
Glad I could help. Good idea on putting them at an angle.
Thank you!!
No Problem :-)
Thank you!!!!! Couldn’t find proper castors. Thanks for the link!
I agree. This way I won’t mistakenly order the wrong parts!
Glad I could help!
I'd like to get this table in birch for outdoor use but the price is giving me second thoughts and that's not accounting the wheels that I'd definitely buy.
Thanks
No problem
Super helpful video. Thank you for sharing! Also, how did you make that cool intro?
Glad you found the video helpful, the intro was one of the default intros that come with final cut pro
@@Thejohnnyoshow Thanks for letting me know
6 wheels perfect
DO you know how well these wheels work on carpet? I'm in a small appartment with carpeted floors and was thinking of getting the 'unpainted birch' version of this table (which reveiws say is lighter than the white pressboard)
Unfortunately I can't really give you a for sure answer as we do not have carpet to try it on. but i would think it should be ok as long as you don't have shag carpet or extra think carpet pad under your carpet
Thank you so much!! Just making sure I'm seeing this correctly - did you simply drill the screws in without predrilling or anything? Seems so simple!
I did not have to predrill but the wheels may or may not have the same screws that it had at the time of my purchase. just be aware not to get too close to the edges. Also one subscriber put the wheels on the swing out legs for the table top at an angle so the 2 screws are on opposing sides. unlike where I put both screws on 1 side. I have not had any issue doing it my way, but I think their idea of putting it at an angle is better
Thanks this was such great advice! Did the wheels hold up over time? Did they damage or mark up your floors?
Our floor is a concrete floor with epoxy coating, so far it has not left any marks on it. and the wheels seem to be holding up fine.
Does this mean everyone who has built this has an extra 2 wheels laying around? Hah! Wish we could pool them together for other people.
yeah that means there is at least 2000 wheels out there from over the last couple years, that i'm aware of anyway :-)
Do you think the wheels would support this table if it is used regularly as a dinner table for 2 and occasionally seating 4 with both tabletops in use? Would those activities be under the 150 lb weight limit?
you have the ability to support around 50 more pounds (if you don't count the weight of the table), it would all depend on what you would be storing in the drawers. just remember you want to keep it so your not putting more then 50 more lbs on it. the wheels can probably hold more then that, but they are only advertised to support 25lbs per wheel and the table is almost 100, so you would have 50lbs to work with.
I bought the caster wheels you said but the plate is too big to attach it to the leg that opens up to support the wing. How did you fix that? i can't fid smaller caster wheels either.
ua-cam.com/video/laMIkDp00gM/v-deo.html you only secure it with 2 screws there. you will not find any smaller.
Hi this is awesome! I bought the "ones you should've got" bayite 4 pack 1" low prof, they don't work. They're too wide for the skinny swing out legs, but fit the other 4 fine. Which are the ones you originally bought?
NVM, I looked and I guess you only screw in one side of the caster so the other side is unscrewed. Thanks for your video.
no problem. another viewer mentioned in the comments they did it at an angle so maybe that would work better, however, we have not had any issue with how I did it either.
I'm planning to buy the wheels but do you think these wheels are the good for carpet flooring as well? Did you have the chance to try on the carpet floor?
we only have the concrete and wood flooring. these wheels will be fine on a berber carpet, and perhaps a very short shag as long as its there is not extra think squishy carpet pad. I think this table once loaded with stuff and its own weight would be pretty hard to move around on a tall shag carpet.
on the half-width legs, how have the wheels brackets and legs survived only being held with 2 screws?
With the table being moved often?
they have been fine, those wheels do not carry much of the weight beings they are only for the fold-out tabletops and not the heaviest part of the table. But if you're concerned you could also use a liquid nail in addition to the 2 screws under the mount for extra support
Can you pleas help me somehow? 🙏 I start to screw the screws (about 8mm from the table leg's egde) (screw size: 3,5 x 12) and the leg started to crack. It's the main leg, not the supportive one. Is there any way I can do it? Or maybe it is possible to glue the wheel to the table?
I did not have to pre drill, but maybe they changed the size of the screwed with the wheels since i put mine on, in which case pre drill with a slightly smaller bit before putting in the screw
I do feel like 12mm is a lot longer than the screws that came with the wheels when i bought them
you will need to pre drill for that. my screws were only about 8mm
Very happy to find this, I only just started looking for wheels for my monster of a table. Are you still happy with them, does the fact the swing legs are attached by two screws been a problem? Thanks for sharing!
yes they are doing fine as far as support, i wish i would not have put locking wheels on all the legs as i mentioned at the end of the video. i should have gone with these amzn.to/2HjvBtB
get 2 sets of the 1" as you need 6 wheels, but you will only use the locking ones on the legs that do not meet the table top support (as noted at end of the video)
@@Thejohnnyoshow Just got mine today, glad I saw the risk of putting brakes side by side. Thanks again for posting, this has been bugging me for weeks!
@@richieryan4998 You're very welcome, glad I could help
I was thinking of adding wheels when I saw this table yesterday! Thanks for the great video and tips! Now I have no hesitation to buy this table!
Would like to get your opinion, should I install the wheels directly before I assembling the table? Which way would be easier? Thanks in advance❤️
the table does weight 100lbs, make sure if you put the wheels on after its together you have a soft surface to put it upside down on like i did so you do not scratch the top.
personally i think putting them on after its built would be easier, because then you have the table holding all the legs in place and you can really see what your doing. if you put them on before hand you're just trying to attach a wheel to a stick with nothing solid to hold it while you work.
I had my daughter help me flip the table over just to make sure nothing got damaged in the process. do not try to flip it over by yourself, to many moving parts. best to have 2 people just to make sure the table top does not fall open to the ground while your flipping it and get damaged
@@Thejohnnyoshow thanks for your reply and recommendations! Gonna share the outcome here once it's done!❤️❤️
Hi. How convenient is this as a dining table. Are you able to push 4 chairs comfortable in and eat or do those table supports come in the way ?
The support would get in the way, you could put 2 chairs under it completely, but not 4
@@Thejohnnyoshow Thanks a ton for the reply. Saved a lot of trouble :)
I can’t find wheels for this desk. I’ve been to Home Depot, Harbor Freight and two neighborhood hardware stores. All of the wheels with the plate are at least two inches. So I
Can only mail one side down. I also tried
Amazon. Anyone know where I can get
Wheels that fit?
link to amazon is in the description you need to buy 1" wheels anything bigger will have plates to big
Thanks !
Out of curiosity, are you still using the table? How are the wheels holding up?
Although each wheel is rated for 25 lbs and the whole table is only 90-something lbs, I *suspect* that the wheels under the gatelegs might have given sooner than anticipated. The wheel under each gateleg needs to support about half the weight of the unfolded table board, and then you'll put stuff on the table, which adds additional weight, and then when you use the table, you might inadvertently put more weight from your body onto the table.
still have the table no issue with it the wheels so far
Hi do you have the link that you got the wheels from amazon.?
well these are what i should have got these amzn.to/2HjvBtB
get 2 sets of the 1" as you need 6 wheels, but you will only use the locking ones on the lags that do not meet the table top support (as noted at end of the video)
@@Thejohnnyoshow just got these & put them on my Norden table. They're perfect for the job. Thank you for this useful video and for your precise tips.
Hey did you use 4 or 6 wheels? I’m assembling my table tomorrow and would love to throw on the wheels too!
Use six wheels for the table. Place two locking wheels on the support legs of the table's top, which swing out. When the support legs are folded in, you should have two locking wheels on the main body of the table. Make sure these wheels are not on the same side as the swing leg wheels when closed to avoid any collision between the locks when rolling the table while it is closed. The last two wheels should be non-locking and those will be on the body near the swing leg wheels when closed. In the video, I didn't show the non-locking wheels because the ones I purchased were all locking wheels. However, the locking wheels sometimes interfere with each other when rolling the table in its closed position. I haven't replaced them with non-locking wheels yet hence no video, but I included the link to a package that contains both locking and non-locking wheels so that you will not have this issue. I hope this clarification makes sense.
so yes in total you will use 4 locking wheels and 2 non locking wheels
This is so helpful, thank you so much!
What were the wheels you bought? Great video!
well these are what i should have got amzn.to/2HjvBtB

I'm not an English Speaker but you used two lock wheels? Or 4?
I mean... Only use 2 in the support legs of each side? (Like the leg that comes in the middle when u opened) sorry for my bad English I hope that I can explain myself.
I will space these out so if your using a translator program maybe it will read better. I also will word it a couple different ways. Hopefully one of them will make sense after translating :-)
I did use 4, however in the video I say that is a mistake.
you should buy only 2 locking wheels.
Do not use 4.
Do not put locking wheels on the support legs.
When the support legs are folded in, put the locking wheels only where there are not 2 wheels next to each other.
Put the locking wheels on the corners of the table where they can freely rotate when the support legs are in.
Do not put the locking wheels where the 2 wheels are next to each other when the support legs are in.
I could understand the sentences but liked your consideration as you put in so much thought and effort for the other person to understand it :)
Hi where I can buy th the wheels please? Thanks 🙏
amzn.to/2HjvBtB
This was the video I was looking for! I am contemplating getting this table for my craft room as well, and want to add wheels for easy mobility. How has yours it held up?
Thank you for sharing!
So far so good, no issues with it at all
I notice that the 1” casters you say you should have bought have a weight limit of 25lbs per leg and 100 lbs for the four. Does that seem like enough to you? They are only about the size of a quarter.
6 wheels at their rating is 50lbs more then what the table weighs, and they are rated for a weight much less then what they can truly hold. the 25lb weight is not the breaking point. we have had no issue with them for this table
@@Thejohnnyoshow ok great! Thanks!
Link to where i purchase the wheel's from please , and yes fantastic video
here you go, thanks :-) amzn.to/2HjvBtB
Thanks for the reply Johnny may I ask which size ?
@@pierrenj79 get the 1" ones
I added wheels but unfortunately the 2 of the legs began splitting. Not sure how to repair .
splitting while you were screwing the legs on?
@@Thejohnnyoshow No- screwing the wheels on. The holes were too close to the edge of the legs and I noticed that they were causing the legs to split.
@@monisamontoya288 i assume this is on the table top support legs that fold out as the main legs have plenty of clearance all the way around. so if you caught it before it was split was completely out of control, i would probably fill the hole with this www.loctiteproducts.com/en/products/fix/general-purpose/loctite_extreme_gluenodripgel.html. once dried completely you could get a very small brush and some model paint in the color of the table just touch up the crack if it shows to much. then pre drill with a smaller bit holes a little bit further from the edge and try again. but that will probably be our last shot, if you get too close to the edge again you probably will not have enough to work with to repair a second time. i would give the glue a lot of time to set up you want it to be very solid before pre drilling new holes. also you could put a little of that glue between the wheel mount that the leg to add more strength beings its been compromised. be careful to keep the glue where you want it, you don't want to get it on your hands and then touch other parts of the table or you will have a mess. If you don't mind going to my facebook page facebook.com/thejohnnyoshow and posting pics of the damage i can just see if this would still be how i would address the problem
@@Thejohnnyoshow Thank you for taking the time and interest to address the issue for me. I will go get that glue. I didn't notice the splits until I was finished (the screws I used were too thick so I have to change to a smaller width) so it's the kind of error you only make once. My next project is wheels on two Kallax units and now I will be more careful . Thanx.
Hi Johnny, I bought the same table from Ikea and was thinking the same thing....about adding casters so that I can make it more versatile and mobile. After looking at this on Amazon, the 1" wheel looks very small. Do you think 2" wheels will be better? Will it work on this table or will it be too big?
Thanks for your video! I gave you a thumbs up.
at the time when i was shopping the plate on the 2" wheels were too big maybe they have better options now but i don't think so. will the table be on carpet or on a smooth hard surface? i ask because the 1 inch wheels work fine on a hard surface but on carpet they would not roll as well
Does it make the table too tall to feel comfortable sitting at?
Also I love how you set up the Kallax shelves on the wall.
I don't feel it's noticeable. it raises it 1.5 inches
Is she still happy with this table for crafting?
For the most part we have been happy with all the Ikea stuff we purchased. This table is actually very sturdy. It was a good purchase
Ummmm MMM
Can anyone see this comment?
Trying to post a question to the creator but it looks like youtube keeps deleting my comment...Curious what your thoughts are about an L plate 1.5 inch caster wheel.
Apparently I can’t tell you what website I used even in the most discrete fashion, because that comment was taken down too, but I’m sure you can guess.
i'm not sure why i cant see your comment on the video, but i just logged into my account and i can see your comment here. They may work better for the legs that fold out to hold the table top as long as the dimensions are right. Im not sure i would like them for the main legs though. I feel the square plate gets a firmer attachment for the main table legs. But yeah for the fold out legs the L is probably better if it is the right size plate. If you mix the 2 types of wheels you just want to make sure they end up being the same height from the ground of course.
now that i responded i see your messages on the video page
just to be sure you're talking about wheels like this right? www.amazon.com/Skelang-Profile-L-Bracket-Replacement-Capacity/dp/B0891Y1LVH
Thanks for this, I bought two sets using your link. Hopefully the legs won't split like another in the comment section here. Also, with the brakes locked, you don't notice too much moving around do you? Plan on doing this mod for a boardgame/puzzle table. Thanks for the vid and thanks in advance!
no its pretty solid , it does not really move when breaks are set, at least not for us
Im not sure why it split on them, i did not even make pilot holes when I did mine
