Ikea Trotten - 1 Year later, is it still GOOD?? (UK 2023)

[@idonotdosarcasm]

The best part about this video is that it feels so genuine. No fakes trying to make things ‘appear good’ no stupid editing or any distracting music. This is how things should be in my opinion.

[@austinmurphy3933]

I got massive 90s vibes from this.

[@renjing]

I've just received my Trotten. To my surprise, they exhibit on their website a brownish beige colour, but actually give me a greyish beige colour... Maybe this piece of information is important for future buyers...

[@fjorddenierbear4832]

Cranking feature - height adjustment without power... Seems like a great feature. Worrying about the engine breaking within a few years or messing up is not worth it. I'd say either get a hand-crank desk or get some 1000 USD super-ultra electric standing desk frame.

[@KrystalXMaiden]

Went to the physical store to check out the desks and this got my attention. It was just too narrow for me (this one in his video is 120cm x 70cm) but upon asking, they had a 160cm x 80cm one and that was perfect for my setup (2 monitors, 1 laptop) so I got it!! So excited to get it, I had it delivered so just waiting now.

[@becerraluisc]

Did you got it, How did you like it?

[@Imran7jr]

is the wobbling bad at standing height ?

[@nourabdou4118]

Thank you so much for this review!

[@gdfella2]

one cable less for the table... no worries about motor problems plus Ikea gives 10 year guarantee. Also it is much much cheaper than the others.

[@artemiihrynevych1653]

Thanks for the video. It was helpful. Deciding if I should buy the same desk right now.

[@Magnisus]

I accidentaly stumbled upon your review. So it is not that bad how some people are saying it is. They are just spoiled. I am looking into buying this alongside Markus chair.

[@IXISonTech]

It is a good desk 👍 its not like you're going to be doing brain surgery on it, so it doesn't matter if it wobbles a bit. Thanks for watching 😁

[@hobistinyheartbag]

Thank you so much! You just convinced me 🥰

Thank for this video, so helpful. Recently ikea arrives to Colombia lol, It'a my opportunity, gretttings

[@prid3971]

great vid man, thank you very much

[@liav1609]

Will it fit 180cm counter top from Ikea? What keyboard are you using? Looks good. Thanks!

Interesting video, think it has convinced me. Also curious to know what office chair you are using as also need to upgrade that and yours looked very supportive

The red & black chair is a special DSE chair provided by my work (my day job). Thanks for watching 😁

Awesome review! Thanks man!

How's the table top with the monitor arm? Any compression damage? I'm looking to mount a 27" monitor, and want to know if the Trotten tabletop is worth it.

[@25566]

I have a 32 inch monitor and the big 160cm board and it doesn't bend, it is good not like the cheaper desks that are cardboard filled. I would avoid double monitor arms thar anchor to a single point, from a stability persepctive ir will be better if you get two individual monitor mounts

[@realweisbrot]

Nice desk !

[@natty2patty]

When you write on the desk, does your monitor wobble?

[@katheleentolentino8934]

"people complained about music in my videos" we humans complain just about everything don't we! 🤣🤣🤣 I wanted an electric one (another brand on Amazon), but I saw a lot of reviewers saying that they stop working after a few months..

[@Hannaoderso1]

The exhibition piece at my local ikea had the issue of the handle detaching from the metal rod. Is that a problem anybody here actually has?

[@NNokia-jz6jb]

Good review, helped me a lot with the selection. Subbed. 👍👍👍

[@creyes6424]

nice review video :)

[@armandoarellano4776]

Would you say is good enough for a dedicated unboxing setup? Im looking to get something adjustable but, Im afraid it may wobble a lot

[@anthonytran8569]

Is the Ikea Trotten solid and stable enough? Is the desk wobbling like Berkant? OK to mount a 34 inch monitor with the mount on the desk?

[@IXISonTech]

Yes it is 👍 it has a solid metal truss underneath, so worries about sag in the middle.

[@anthonytran8569]

@@IXISonTech so any wobbling when you type or when you press the table? Sorry for bothering you...

[@IXISonTech]

No wobble when typing at any height. As mentioned tho, I have my desk on carpet, so theres a slight wobble when at full height. But its not as if you're going to be doing brain surgery, so its liveable 👍

[@anthonytran8569]

@@IXISonTech thank you very much!

[@Ashkimbo]

Cool video - been thinking about getting one for a while and it looks better than the one dunelm are offering. I'd be interested in a video on Solar energy from you!

[@IXISonTech]

Cheers 👍 and thanks for watching till the end 🥳 a solar energy video is in the works 😉

[@jlevygeo]

Thanks! What chair do you use?

[@IXISonTech]

An IKEA chair, have a scroll through my vids, I build & review it too 😉😎

[@Optichin]

If the table is in a mid height position, can u still hide the lever or does it stick out under the table?

[@IXISonTech]

No, you can still clip it under the desk 👍

[@Optichin]

@@IXISonTech thanks for your quick response 👍

[@cristinav.a.3123]

I got mine today.

[@renjing]

I'm trying to decide among the bigger and smaller versions of Trotten and the electric one--Rodulf when I watched this. I must say it's really useful!!! First of all, just a glance at the layout of the things on the desk makes me determined that I need the bigger version, because I might need to put something to read below the keyboard. (I was almost going to order the smaller one, but you helped me avoid this mistake.) And I was worried whether it'll take a lot of effort to roll the handle. But it seems easier than what I have imagined. So I'm going for the big Trotten :)

[@IXISonTech]

Good choice 👍 i couldn't go for the wider one because of space either side of my desk. It is very easy to move with the handle 👍

[@renjing]

@@IXISonTech Thanks!

[@rasengan720]

Is the table slightly wobbling or does it mean i haven't screwed the legs to the mid frame / stem properly?

[@IXISonTech]

It shouldn't wobble no. Do you have it on carpet?

[@rasengan720]

@@IXISonTech no it's on the floor.. guess i didn't screw the legs properly

[@SaadKidwai]

Thank you

[@matthewwatt3210]

Please refrain from commenting on the complaints about the music in your videos, thank you for reading my complaint.

[@TheWickermaN43]

Hello I'm thinking about getting this desk, my only worry is can it handle a monitor arm with two monitors? How long have you been using your monitor arm? Are there any cracks/defects at that position?

[@cihangirkaya7954]

Thx 🙏

[@JentusPro]

Thanks for the two videos on this desktop. I was literally today in my local IKEA store, to look and find some good desktop for myself, because i have very old, rubbish and very small computer desk that i must to replace with something new, something bigger and better. And i saw in IKEA desks like this, the Trotten, also i saw the Bekant, and the Idåsen... And it is very difficult to choose which one to pick up, which one is the best, because for me very important is the full height adjust, like in the Trotten and not those desks with like only 10-15cm adjust, but also what important for me it is the stability of the desk and the max load of it, because i will put on the new desk my new 32" gaming monitor, maybe in the future will add some second monitor, also my case will sit on the desk and my case is very heavy, it is a Lian Li O11 Dynamic, with 12 fans in it, with one 360mm radiator in it, with a giant RTX 4090 and with a 1000W PSU in it... So i am worry about all this weight load that i will put on my new desktop.... I know that the Bekant is very unstable, saw it in many reviews, the Idåsen is the most stable of those three desks, but the Idåsen don't have this full height adjust like the Trotten has, and the Trotten is less stable then the Idåsen and the max load capacity is also smaller then Idåsen, i think Trotten is like 50kg and the Idåsen is 70kg.... I think that 50kg max load for desk to me is not suitable, i need some good desk with at least 70kg max load capacity. And the problem is that our IKEA in Israel, don't bring here all those desks with an electric motor/s adjusment, thats mean that the Idåsen, that is more suitable for my needs, they bring it here only with manual height adjustments, on the bottom legs, something around 10-15cm only, the same story with the Bekant... So it is why so frustrating for me to decide which best desktop to choose...

[@IXISonTech]

You're welcome 👍 I'm sure you'll find the right desk soon 🤞

[@JentusPro]

@@IXISonTech I hope, thanks

[@fionasilk]

Good video. Also a yes about solar but only if it's non-technical for idiots :) Thanks for this review - been dithering about which desk to get and I think this is the one!

[@fionasilk]

Haha it's now 19th June 2024 and I'm still dithering about a standing desk. Clearly didn't remember watching this the first time as I've just watched it again and here I am scrolling down and reading the comments again. I'm nothing if not predictable. And indecisive 😂

[@IXISonTech]

Thank you for watching again 👍🥳😁 I tend to stand more in summer when its hot, gets my bum off the warm chair 🤭

[@celal-pm5gh]

Is it suitable for studying?

[@IXISonTech]

Absolutely 👍 you can buy a larger desktop for this desk, so you could have even more desk space 😁

[@celal-pm5gh]

Thank you🎉
