I have the Ikea Galant series. Thankfully I just did some Labor Day cleaning....

Here's the Pics, sorry for the messy wires underneath:

 

[Keep The Volume Up]

IKEA Jerker
40 bucks off craigslist
Added Fredrik drawer
Added Z-5500s
Added 37" Panasonic Viera TC-37LZ85

 

[mavalpha]

Agree with the Galant, series, though mine is the glass conference table (rectangular, not oval). I hate small desks. I'll post pics when I remember to get my camera out of my car.

 

[Herl]

The desk is a GALANT series 43'

I built the 2nd teir piece out of a LACK shelf and a set of 4 CAPITA coffee table legs

 

[prodigee]

here's my jerker sorry about the lack of focus

can someone tell me if the Fredrik shelves and height extenders will work with the Jerker because i really need another shelf as you can see

 

[Retronym]

The Fredrik is not as wide as the Jerker.

I wish I didn't have to use flash but the lighting sucks on camera in my room

And zip ties does wonders for the wiring since I forgot to buy the gasket thing that Ikea sells.

 

[Blazestorm]

Once I get my HDTV back in I'll do a little cleaning and post up the "Effektiv" desk I got for free off Craigslist...

Basically a shittier Galant... but free is

 

[TooBooKoo]

Here's mine... for now

 

[legcramp]

Hey Herl, if you dont mind what monitor is that?

 

[Blazestorm]

Looks like a Sharp Aquos 32" TV... or atleast some kind of HDTV

 

[TooBooKoo]

Yep, that's the one.

Ikea Frederik with custom made shelf. Bought for how-ever much it goes for new in Ikea.

The Fredrik is not as wide as the Jerker.

Just like the Jerker, the Frederik comes in two sizes, a large one, and a smaller one with shelfs, both of them is equal in size to the Jerker counterpart (errr... I think)

 

[legcramp]

nah the largest frederik is still not as deep as the 36" depth of the jerker.

 

[86DRIFTER]

Got my Fredrik in July. I am still very very happy.

 

[neoice]

hey dC0m what style is that , and how much did that run, Also does Ikea Ship now does anyone know????

Thats exactly what im looking for

 

[Herl]

Hey Herl, if you dont mind what monitor is that?

Its a Samsung LNT3253H 32-Inch LCD HDTV, however this is only a temporary measure once I move again I'll be switching back to a standard LCD monitor.

 

[Mr. Wolf]

I'll join the party with my Galant setup. I'm still in the market for a 30" LCD, but this is how everything looks now. I really need to get one of those Signum cable management things that mount under the desk. Of course, I've been telling that to myself for the last year.

 

[jp82729]

I recently redid my office (flooring, paint, moulding, the works) and bought all new Ikea furniture

GALANT desk


BILLY and BENNO bookcase/CD storage


I also have an EFFEKTIV file cabinet. Like Mr Wolf said, the Signum works pretty well for wiring organization: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50035115

Galant...fully occupied:

 

[thecomputeraddict]

Hopefully soon I'll buy an Ikea galant for my bedroom once I get my unused tube tv out of there. and maybe once I get it redone

It's the Galant series and it's the Beech Veneer color. They have a lighter color which is the Birch Veneer. My setup with the "T" legs and extension piece cost me around $320. I picked up myself and installed it on my own.

 

[jonjon0nline]

Jerker with 2 shelves. $60 from Craigslist.

I see you are doing the Leo Laporte thing and using a core ball as a desk chair. I might consider this.

These are my old setups, I'm still in search for a quality desk.

 

[KidZer0]

[jcmuse]

that looks like a twin though. They don't seem to sell a twin malm? edit: nvm i found it thanks.

Not to sound too femmie or anything, but that blue paint on your walls is just awesome. I love that and the contrasting dark brown. Very cool setup. Makes me wish I was still single and living out of my room lol.

 

[Tai]

I wouldn't recommend you buying that frame. It collapses on me couple of times so I got rid of all my ikea furniture. I'm currently looking for a white desk, IMO white will look a lot better than dark brown with my blue walls.

Edit: I like the desk frame but the top sucks.

 

[dC0m]

Ikea desk are cheap for the price and does a hell of a job for a table.

The beds look alright but are also cheap in material and wouldn't trust it.

 

[dmw16]

I bought a Galant desk after seeing this thread the other day. Will post pics once I am moved into my new place.

Nice, What's your setup and which color?

 

[neoice]

Does Ikea Ship now, or is it still in store pickup, cuase i would luv too get 2 of those Galant Desk setups but the close ikea place is 3 hrs away

 

[dmw16]

I got the black-brown with the T-shaped legs. Not the full corner, I got the right hand with an extension.

Yes, they ship. Thankfully they also deliver as the damn thing didn't fit in my car. Oh well, cost another $80 for delivery, but it will come the day after we move in which means one less thing to put on the truck (actually 7 boxes).

The guy at Ikea was really helpful showing me all the optional configurations and he said the desks are well made (he seemed honest, not just selling it).

I also got a small half round end piece w/ 4" legs to act as a little monitor riser on the guys suggestion. Should work well.
