I would like to get this...

But I would also like a pull out keyboard tray to house my mouse and keyboard. Does Ikea sell something like this? I have searched the website but have come up empty. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
uhm...a Knockoff for sure, seems custom build to look like a Jerker & Fredrik...Knockoff Jerker? A friend of mine just sent me this. Some guy is selling this online. I've never seen anything like it. Anyone know what it is?
Just a PSA for anyone lurking in this thread who is interested in building a Galant setup, Ikea is discontinuing the Galant line come this fall. I went to the store this weekend to get some of the awesome cable management trays they had for the Galant and I was told they were sold out and not getting more in. Upon further inspection of the issue I found that the Galant system is being retired and a new system called "Bekant" is being introduced in the fall. It will work but like the Galant, i.e. it will be configurable, but there will be less options. Unfortunately it will not be compatible with the Galant system. This comes direct from an Ikea sales person at the ATL store. She even showed me the internal product introduction .pps deck that detailed the pieces and configuration options.
One option of note though for anyone interested in Sit/Stand desks, there is an official "Bekant" motorized sit/stand base coming out.

Yeah Ikea always does shit like that, same thing with the 1st version Jerker Desk, 2nd version Jerker Desk, the Fredrik Desk and now this Galant Desk,Just a PSA for anyone lurking in this thread who is interested in building a Galant setup, Ikea is discontinuing the Galant line come this fall.

Here's a place you can always check y http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites you'll be surprise to find lots of used Ikea Desk for sale in great condition,Oh no! Thank you for this information, it made me quite sad though. I am saving for Galant desk for me and my boyfriend, we wanted to buy it sometime soon, July-August maybe. We wanted something like this setup http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S49837866/
I don't know when Bekant will be introduced where I live (Poland) but I saw it on German Ikea website http://www.ikea.com/de/de/search/?query=BEKANT
I hope there will be some extensions and additional pieces I went through the entire thread looking for some inspiration and now this info you gave... I'm gonna ask about it today in my Ikea store.
EDIT: So, I went to my local Ikea store and I was told that indeed, Galant series won't be sold anymore. Furthermore, they didn't even have one piece of the setup we wanted And they told us that there won't be any more shipments of any parts for Galant. Bekant is going to be introduced around august here. Eh, we got a bit angry

just have your hustle game on! and bring down price even lower or trade for smothing close to price range, I sell and buy from craigslist. good luck
Well, thanks, but I'm from Poland. Nobody here is using craigslist and shipment from any other country would cost me a fortune
After a lot of thinking, we decided to buy one 120cm x 80cm desk and one 160cm x 80cm desk. As the website states - they should be available. We're going to Ikea tomorrow, so if we buy them I will post our rig after it is built
And regarding Bekant's rounded corners - I am concerned about them a bit because how would the additional expansions work with them? That would look extremely ugly.
by just looking at the BEKANT link you posted, it does not appear that the series was designed for extensions.
i am betting that IKEA is ditching the GALANT because it was confusing for many people to design the system they wanted. it seems like a strange move. maybe they will offer another line of modular tabletops? regardless, this sucks and now i'm wondering if i need to stock up on GALANT pieces before they completely go away.
I have the Ikea Galant series. Thankfully I just did some Labor Day cleaning....
Here's the Pics, sorry for the messy wires underneath:

I just got a 63x31 Galant and am wondering if it can support my dual 24" monitor clamp... Does anyone have clamps on their Galants and is it holding up?

I have the same size Galant as you. I have a triple 22" monitor clamp stand (the stand can support up to three 28" displays) and the desk is holding up just fine. Running this setup for about two years. It does wobble a bit if you bump the desk or the displays. But I see no issues with the desk and it holding this much weight from a single point.
Just make sure you tighten the clamp really good, but do not over tighten it. You don't want to break the mount or crush the wood desk. What brand clamp do you have?

It seems the rumors of Ikea putting the Galant series office tables out to pasture are true and they are beginning to sell them at reduced prices. .
Just curious, what monitor mount do you have?
