HOW TO FIT & ADJUST IKEA OLOV LEGS

[@THEJPR]

You're a saint. I was so ready to return mine.

[@BsFarmhouse]

Same! So glad I looked for help first.

[@Kerfuffles92]

Same. I felt so dumb when it finally worked lol glad she made this video haha

[@VaradMondkar]

Same. I thought I got faulty piece 😅

[@ThePiprian]

The problem I have with these legs is that, when tightening them the height would change a small amount which was different for each leg. I would pull out the legs to the exact same length and after tightening they would all have slightly different heights. 😂 It took a while of adjusting the legs over and over but now I have a somewhat level table.

[@TheGlitteredPill]

This is my issue!!! Also my legs (white) don’t have numbered markings. I’m so frustrated!!

[@nermor]

those lesgs are actualy trash, i think i will send them back.

[@overdriver99]

that's the problem.. it is so cheaply made.. you have to guess how much it got shorten while you turn.. what a trash. I wanted just a sold leg but the cheaper model was sold out until december in Frisco, TX. so I was forced to buy this 'adjustable legs'...

[@robertmazurowski5974]

Exacly, If something is too cheap compared to other options there is always a problem. Because of these stupid micro changes when you turn it is almost impossible to get it leveled.

[@Brisleep1]

Thank you So much!! You did this two years ago and it's still helping deft skilled DIY people who don't understand IKEA. 😂😂

[@jacktyler7599]

VERY helpful. You are the only video of a bunch I viewed that pointed out the 'trick' with the OLOV leg tightening is simply many, many turns. Thank you!

[@paulae6722]

🙌🙌🙌 I purchased this table second hand & thought I’d have to get rid of it. But you SAVED ME!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@akaneryuu]

Thank you for this! I thought mine were broken so I Googled it and found this video, didn't expect to twist as much as we have to lol!

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

You’re welcome! Glad to help 😊

[@fatimaalawami4289]

This is so helpful. I was so frustrated that i bought these expensive legs instead of the cheap once they have. And i couldn't fit them for two day. That was so stressful and disappointing. BUT thanks to your video.. I just did it.and it is just a hustle trying to balance it. Thank you

[@simonedutch1264]

Great little vlog Deborah, my daughter always taught me that the rule is.....left is loosie and right is tightie. So if you want something loose then turn it left, if you want it tight then turn it right! XX

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Me too!! It was a bit of a random video but I thought it might help someone! Hope it’s sunny for you in Oz today. Lots of love xxx

[@simonedutch1264]

@@LivinganOrganisedLife It's been lovely weather actually. And we should be having a few warm and sunny days over the Easter break...which I'm really looking forward too, it means I can get out into the garden! Happy Easter to you and your family Deborah. Will you be doing much over the Easter break? XX

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Yes! We’re finally able to sit in the garden with family so planning lots of visits. I’m definitely getting my thermals out to make the most of it. Have a very happy Easter Simone, much love xxxx

[@sedrena1]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. 😅 I was annoyed at the thought i would need to go return them to a whole other town.

[@nishantjain4439]

My daughters and I struggled to DIY using Olav. Your video was of a great help!

[@ourmodestfamily]

Thank you so much for posting this. I found it very helpiful. We are hacking the Kallax unit and making it into a kitchen island. I was having the same issue as you, as my husband who beleives he never needs instructions, threw them away.

[@MattKrack]

This was driving me crazy. I bought this idk 5 years ago so forgot how it worked. But I needed to adjust it again - thank you.

[@carmenglorialopezrodriguez4317]

THANKYOU! Thought the leg was broken, the 50 times twist did it for me… THANKS!

[@DriftingScope56]

IM SOOOO GRATEFUL!! I’m now at my local IKEA store and try to adjust the sample here but there’s no instructions at all. So dumb. Thanks for your video!!

[@reign5426]

Thanks so much for your instructions. Simple and straight to the point. My heart is racing from fighting with the darn legs. Thanks alot. December 2023. Edit: I misspelled the word simple, and have now corrected it.

[@pelago_]

I was propping up a packed table with my shoulder when I scrambled to find this video. Thanks so much for that!

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Haha!! Trust me, I’ve been there!

[@terri-lynntorrez913]

Thank you! Thank you! I've had these legs for years but I moved to a new house and to the whole thing disassembled. But when I put it back together I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

[@dc9748]

No kidding, it is a lot more twists - I thought I was wrong after 20 twists with hardly any tension. 😮 I was a little embarrassed about looking this up but I guess I'm not alone. Thanks 👍🏼

[@GabryellPride]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! One of the leg was already half way so I was convinced that the other one was just broken. I was getting ready to call the helpline but I decided to check the good old youtube first. Thanks for your lovely and helpful video!

[@avajo6494]

Thank you!!! I was about to have a breakdown I already had to go back once today to return the wrong table top I didn’t want to have to go back to return legs. You’re amazing!! Thank you for making a video!

[@tatavarthitarun2739]

Hey since it's been long time since u have purchased it, would you still recommend it for a work from home setup?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi there, great question. Yes I would recommend them. Once fitted and tightened they are really secure. I have had no problems with them 😊

Thanks for this. I've had these legs for years and every few months some get loose and I forget what direction to turn them, haha.

[@thankyousomuch9527]

Thank you so much, I was about to complain these “broken leg” lollll

[@RomanusAnirbanBeck]

I couldn't thank you enough. I had mine exchanged twice. And even the IKEA personnel couldn't help me. Instead I got instructions not to twist and turn multiple times 😂, stating "the alignment is sensitive".

[@VickyLatorreArt]

Thank you so much for the video. This was driving me crazy.

[@Whitefero1]

15-20 turns is what did it for me :) I got desperate with my Olov, turns out they must be REALLY spun to lock

[@Qwertqwerty010]

Love the bit of blooper right at the beginning 😄

Tq.. This is helpful n I finally fixed my table

[@jendrizzyy]

You’re a life saver thank you

[@davidburley9962]

I found that the legs had to be pointed such that the adjustable part was on the bottom, it seemed to be some kind of gravity feed. It wouldn't work if it were upside down.

[@marianneking442]

Thank you so much. This was a great help for me as I was totally lost lol

[@mettepetersen4304]

Thank you🙏☺️

[@SaintJude66]

Found this table someone threw out. It’s brand new! Smh thank you so much, didn’t know how to work.

[@elenab8993]

Thank you sooo much)) you saved my evening 😊 was about to give up❤

[@shiva_689]

Btw is there supposed to be some leeway between the inside and outside leg? Because mine all have that and it makes a noise when I push the table back and forth a little and it generally makes the table feel less solid

[@BethelTeferra]

YASSS! mystery solved! thank youuu!! God bless you!

[@akcel1211]

Thanks for this video but I have a HUGE problem. I separated the two parts of the leg thinking I would find the cause of the problem but in fact not. I know that some people have managed to repair the foot like this but not me...

[@baysidex3]

I was wondering the same thing while we are installing our desk, thanks!

[@robbg1973]

I almost threw them out last night. Your rock.

[@urbantwilight]

Bit worried about the load capacity of those legs. They are rated at only 13kg (28lbs) per leg - that doesn't sound like an awful lot to me. No idea how much exactly my 150x90cm tabletop weighs, but ChatGPT guesstimates about 30kg, then ca. 25kg for my display and desk setup - so I'm basically over the limit already. Would I now have to worry the thing collapses when I lean on it or the legs give out with time and my setup comes crashing down at some point? Kinda scarry. Otherwise those legs sound perfect...
