yes, it comes with screws. you don't need a drill, but it helps. i fit the holder to the bottom of the desk, drilled small pilot holes, then sunk the screws. took 5 min.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But if you get the Galant desk, you have to get the Frame and the Legs separately right? So they are a different Article number? I don't have one near me, so before I drive 2 hours and before I call to ask I thought I would ask here.
Hey. I kinda need a new desk and I really thought it is going to be Galant, but my initial impression was dissapointing when I was passing by Ikea last weekend...
It swayed easily, bent under mediocre pressure. And this was a 160x80cm desk on T legs. I'm more interested in 200x80cm which I imagine would be even worse.
Was it badly screwed or something?
Which Ikea desk were you looking at? I have the Galant 63"x31 1/2". It does wobble a little bit, but only if I accidentally bump it. While typing or playing a game, it doesn't move (I have the T-legs).
Well I finally got my galant. It would be great if they damn thing didn't wobble my monitors when typing regularly or moving my mouse at a moderate speed (slower than what you would need for an FPS).
it's pretty damn disorienting.
The desk should not wobble. Is it on carpet? If so, maybe it'll wobble a bit. Find whatever screws are loose and tighten them.Well I finally got my galant.

i dont have any of these issues with my galant
Ask and ye shall receive.
Not completely happy with how the cable management turned out in the back, but got too tired to fix it tonight. Getting there though.
Got rid of those pesky legs you guys mentioned.
Here's a link to the instructions. It's lists the weight the desk can hold.

I am considering buying either the IKEA Galant Workstation or the Galant Desk Combination Right for my new home office computer setup. I'm buying three 30-inch computer monitors (NEC PA302W-BK) that will carry a 112.5 pound weight total (37.5 pounds per monitor). My computer weighs approximately 11 pounds so the total without anything else on the desk (keyboard, mouse, speakers, additional external computer drives, etc.) comes in at about 124 pounds. The Galant seems to have some sturdy metal rails underneath the desk but I was wondering if the IKEA Galant can handle this load.
The desk you listed is the short one. The picture I posted of the upside-down piece is the extension you want to put on the desk. The short desk is *TOO short for 3x30" monitors unless you don't mind them hanging over both sides of the desk. If you are using a single stand to mount all 3 monitors you won't have to worry about that.
