Space-efficient IT-Workstation

1) Make a scribble of the proposed solution and measure your space thoroughly!
2) Assemble all individual IKEA-elements
3) Put all elements as shown on the scribble and screw them
4) We've fixed the "Vika Byske" table top with the help of "TORX"-Screws from the bottom with the "Vika Amon"

5) To protect the "Vika Byske" tabletop we have used the "Auro Furniture Balm No. 173" (wax finish). For this you can simply use a hand polishing machine (see picture)
6) Now simply screw the "EKBY Alex" with the refined "Vika Byske" table top (from the bottom with "TORX"-screws)
7) Last but not least - using "TORX" screws on the rear underside of the "Vika Amon" tabletop to fix the Signum wireway.

  1. Hello,

    After waxing does it feels as smooth like the surface of Ikea Galant top?

    Does wood treatment oil make the wood smooth and easy to clean?

    I am a noob about wood, could you advice me what is the best way to make Vika Byske smooth and easy to clean like Galant top?

    Thanks!
