$9 IKEA Linnmon Desk Teardown 

Yeah I agree! Also the efficient packing to save space and modular design to re-use the same parts on different products. It's fascinating

Michael Nguyen It's quite an impressive business strategy making their furniture and products modern and aesthetically pleasing to the eye yet using terrible material :) IKEA countertops don't last long and it's better to invest in a pricier REAL wood countertop or simply buy some wood at your local wood shop and make one your self. Even better to get a large thick branch without spending any money would be a better option in the long run than using IKEA "wood" products. If you don't have the necessary machinery to craft what you need then there might be a public workshop near you or slightly farther away that you could use. A hell of a lot better investment than to spend money every few years for the same product just to have it fail on you and then replace it again.

Indeed but it's the softer solid wood which isn't as durable than the ones you could buy and build your self. My point still stands and the majority of their products are either paper cardboard, particleboard, or fiberboard. IKEA sells solid wood at a low price? Would you mind if you send me some examples?

weinerschnitzelboy you make great points, but I was gifted my cousins furniture they got from their parents. Made in the 70s I think, nothing broke! There's some wear around the veneer, (very expensive walnut), but honestly I like the charm. If I wanted cardboard, which I'm a huge fan of, I'd cut up some boxes to make this ikea the way I like it.

and their stuff isn't durable at all, paid a fortune for a "nice looking" desk, took a week and the top was losing it's paint, 3 months later I bumped into the side of the cabinet while sitting at the desk and it cracked... never again expensive trash.

J Y That is hilarious

Honeycomb filling packaging material is great replacer for unsustainable EPS foam plastic.

@@dodecahedron1 i got 200x60 for my desk $30

As a subsidiary for IKEA, we do not support that comment. We use trusted, high-quality material and the finest, hand-picked stains, colors & veneers to ensure you have a beautiful home for the prices you love.

@@myrexcontent5840 I bought a same one but didn't use for long until it cracked under the monitor arm lol

What if you want to Mount a leg in the middel of the table where there isn’t any solid things to screw the leg into??

Do you think it can sustain monitor arms???

@@nickolajhelwegdid u try?

@@skullrainabdx2610 I did But found out my my desktop is infact a real massiv tabletop.

The Stig's German Cousin Your so called home might be also made from the same material 😹

fightnight14 😂😹🙈🙊

@@fightnight14 If he lives in Germany I doubt it.

@@dodecahedron1 yeah in my old house when i snap it i saw cardboard which was surprising as i placed heavy things along it

Luckily im not buying this table because i though this table made from wood particles... This is the first table i saw made from cardboard lol so thats why i saw this table in half

Lol, thats what I hate about ikea's shipping.

how tf is this 9 dollars. In australia this size is at least like 50 bucks from Ikea

got this for 20 quid

got it for 7 bucks lmao

I wanted a linnmon for 50 bucks and the shipping was $300.

Oh my. Yeah, back in 2013, I had my iMac on some desk that was some IKEA model that was discontinued later on, and yeah, it did sag! We eventually had to throw out that desk after a few years due to that and the veneer swelling from water.

Same here, man ikea used to be so good a couple years back. Now all their shit is filled with paper its really disappointing

Thanks Ben!

AND I JUST APPLIED 37 COATS OF FLEX GLUE - Phill

They are money making scumbags. They sell paper filled furnitire for a higher price than you can get real furniture elsewhere

Cool?!

Cool? Bro its filled with toilet roll

OnySi TV You are telling truth. While others are claiming the table breaks from like an imac.

Why tf were u standing on it

Dropping a plant pot onto most things from a foot will unfortunately lead to some damage

Yes. People just dont want to accept that most of Ikeas "wood" furniture surfaces are just big cardboard slabs.

Thats not thin paper. That's *t h i c c*

But what if you're going to be using a extra large mouse pad that your keyboard will sit on

Ockams Razor it helps dampen sound

Maybe if you're typing with a Blickensderfer #5...........

Do you type with your elbows or something?

I have this desk and I have 0 issues. Sounds like you just type like a madman.

Just think about it: if you get diarrhea, you'll have an entire furniture set in no time! :)

9 usd? In indonesia i bought mine for around $40+ :(

In Malaysia $40+ too where is $9?

@@Coeb005 $8.99 in the U.S., for the smaller one. Uploader links to it in the description. Are you looking at table tops only, or also with legs?

@@naran_naran It's $45 for only table tops with out any legs on it

I haven't had this issue.

use a big mousepad helps a lot

Sounds like keyboard problem.

@@spd3ictpro no, definitely not. This is a soundbox as it's empty inside. Keyboard was a laptop like quiet one. This is the same construction as kallax - empty inside. It's extremaly cheap but still It's not worth the price. Any piece that would is solid inside will have better feeling.

@@mmm24ist I've used multiple different desks, I've never had any problems/issues. I never noticed a loud hollow sound when typing. Since I do slam my desk one playing games, after a while the wood will start to creek because of the constant hitting. It doesn't really sound compared to a full filled desk, and keystrokes sound exactly the same as when off the desk
