Jarvis by Fully - Assembly Instructions: Custom Table Top (IKEA Linnmon) Standing Desk Setup Guide

Today we’re doing a video walkthrough of how to assemble your standing Jarvis desk by Fully using a custom tabletop from IKEA. The provided instructions are great, but we found a flaw in the order of the instructions which we’ll mention in the video with a remedy. We include some tips on how to make the process smoother that start out with the most basic tips, and increase in complexity as the process goes on. All in all, without filming, this assembly would’ve taken 2 hours total.
[1] 1:14 - Preparation
[2] 2:12 - Assembly 1/2 (Steps 1-3)
[3] 3:53 - Mistake (Steps 4-6) (in the instructions and how to fix it)
[4] 6:20 - Assembly 2/2 (Steps 7-13)
[5] 9:27 - Programming
[6] 10:06 - Fixtures
[7] 10:28 - Conclusion
I can completely recommend the desk kit to use with your own tabletop, and I’m happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Thank you, America. 🇺🇸

[@yannick_yt]

Yo, thank you so much! I bought the alloy frame and a custom made desktop. Your video made the whole assembly smooth sailing, literally had zero issues, desk turned out exactly the way I hoped it would. Really appreciate the effort you put into this to help others like me out 👌🏻

Thank you so much for making this great and helpful video. Mine arrives today and also have an IKEA tabletop. Do you remember the size of screws you used to attach the tabletop and how many were used? And does it matter if they need to be wood screws or regular? Thanks.

[@AlexAlex-xy8rp]

Thanks for the video.

[@muzhary100]

Hello, @Ruslan Tulupov, thank you very much for the detailed description. My question is about the following: 1- How many minutes does it take to full stand and fully sit back 2- How much power does it consume for example is the motor 100W or less 3- What is the rate of the output electricity that the adapter produces 4- Does it have extra noise in addition to the noise of the motor 5- How much weight can it lift 6- Lastly, can you share a photo of the adapter to see the electricity consumption and so on Thank you very much Fazal from Afghanistan

[@felixtran1509]

What do you mean putting the lifting column on the left (if control panel is on the right)? I thought fully jarvis was dual motor?

[@RuslanTulupov]

There’s a frame end with capture plate (for the black box into which the wires go) and a frame end without a capture plate (no black box). Frame end + leg with “control box” goes on the opposite side of where you want the buttons to go. Correct, dual motor

[@overlapmedia]

@@RuslanTulupov I'm just starting to assemble mine now and was confused by this instruction/description as well. thanks for clarifying.

[@brunoyang6377]

Great Video! Question: Were there any issues with fastening screws into the hollowed cardboard Ikea desk? I'm assuming you have the Linnmon desktop? Were the screws secure? Thanks!

[@RuslanTulupov]

Not at all. I was fortunate (unfortunate?) enough to hit the internal wooden supports with a few of the screws. I had to be careful during the assembly process not to lift the frames with only 1-2 screws attached but once they were all in it was a strong bond. Screws were secure (but had to be careful not to over tighten and strip the wood). Yessir - Linnmon.

[@qh219]

It seems both ends (left and right) of the Linnmon tabletop are solid particleboard where you can safely screw. This is also where the pre-drilled mounting holes are. You're right that the majority of the structure is hollow honeycomb paper, so don't drill there. This video might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6exg4xso8ann7s

[@mrsuperchris999]

legendary instructions - u get a sub from me !

[@dongzheli8204]

Great video! BTW, do u feel a top-to-down wobble when you type? Since this is a c-type model, it might be a problem.

[@RuslanTulupov]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it does have some top-down wobble. It is reproducible if looking for it, but is not instructive on a daily basis.

[@bacccarani]

Thank you for this video! I'm super scared of messing up when assembling my standing desk with a separate table top... Can you help provide recommendations to power drills / dremels I should be using, along with the dimensions for the holes I would need to drill? I don't want to make the mistake of drilling a hole that's too big and ruin my table top... Any other words of advice/caution would be greatly appreciated!

[@alexandre1385]

did it work for you ? im in the same situation, super scared as well haha

[@RuslanTulupov]

Apologies for not replying sooner! I don’t get notifications for all comments for some reason... The drill holes are super simple! Thickness: I didn’t use a specific measurement, the way I measure it is by eye, I pick a drillbit that’s slightly thinner than the inside, solid metal part of the screw (ignoring the grooves). Depth: I controlled the Dremel by hand but if you want to be super cautious, you can measure the thickness of the table top, Measure the same distance on the drillbit, then cover the rest tightly in a thick roll of tape. When drilling, don’t press too hard, or the tape can bunch up and go deeper than intended. I hope that helps, and if you already did the installation hope it went well!

[@bacccarani]

I had someone help me. I could have done it myself if I had to... But glad that someone experienced could help

[@RuslanTulupov]

Glad to hear it worked out 🙏

[@greathelmm]

excellent excellent video

[@RuslanTulupov]

ty :-)!

[@subway394]

Thanks for this fantastic video!!! Your video was very useful in installing my own desktop on a Jarvis frame. One quick question - my destop is not "sitting" on the frame. There is a gap between the steel frame and the wooden desktop. It looks like there were rubber washers preinstalled for each of the screw which connects between the frame and desktop. I just feel like that with all the monitors etc the weight is being put on a very small pressure points which may damage the desktop in the long run. Is it supposed to be like that?

[@RuslanTulupov]

Hi John, thank you for the kind words and for enjoying the video! Yes, that is as intended, in my experience it has not damaged or warped a Linnmon tabletop after a year of use (and the Linnmon is hollow on the inside) and has not negatively impacted a new thick tabletop as of a few months ago. My experience only goes up to about a year with tabletops so I can update this comment should things change.

[@RuslanTulupov]

Furthermore, it should be fine in the long run, at least in my opinion, because the weight is distributed.

How were you able to separate the frame ends? I just got mine today and it's impossible for me to even grip the the c frame to pull it out. Thanks in advance!

[@heisjustin_2283]

Thank you for the video! I have a quick question: Did you get the jarvis legs with a narrow frame width or a larger frame width? Does it matter?

[@gkkirilov]

He has the wide one, depends on the desk surface you want to have. I also went with the bigger one as it gives me more flexibility but someone who has limited space will go for the smaller one. Hope you find your perfect desk!

[@RuslanTulupov]

Confirmed! Thanks Georgi!!

Hi, I followed the video instruction and happened that I don't use the desktop washer as it tell in the written instruction. Is it an issue?

[@kvbhandup]

Great video! I just got my desk and would definitely be referring to this video for assembly instructions. Question: Did you try looking for casters for the desk? I am unable to find any casters compatible with the desk on Amazon, would appreciate if someone could help out!

[@bacccarani]

m8x15mm I just received my fully jarvis and casters today, and can confirm they fit www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/geuhau/fully_jarvis_predrilled_caster_size/

[@jamesbuckley6875]

I am planning on mounting my tower PC underneath my worktop too, but hesitant to go with the Linnmon for that, due to its paper filling. I see you've done just that, but maybe it's okay as your external graphics card likely ways much less than a tower PC?

[@mettagok]

XRuslan Tulupov having trouble screwing in for the linmon table. Screws are not stable and it keeps coming out. Tried different drill bit sizes, not sure what the issue is here. Wondering if it’s table top issue. Did you encounter anything similar? Do you know the solution? Thanks

[@RuslanTulupov]

Are the screws loose? That might be an indicator that the holes are too large - an adjustment in position and re-drilling with a smaller drill bit will fix that. No similar issues - using a soft tabletop with a malleable material might cause issues - mine was pretty solid

[@JohnDoe-vl4rm]

Thank you for the video. I have a 72” x 37.5” desk. What measurements (if any) would change during step 3? Because my desk is deeper, would 6.75” be enough length?

[@RuslanTulupov]

27”-30” desks are supposed to be 6.75” I’m not exactly sure because it would depend on where you plan on distributing the weight on the desk (front or back heavy). Personally, I would determine that first and then either shift 0.5”-1.25” depending on where the weight will go. (Hope that helps..)

[@dnazeri229]

@@RuslanTulupov Thanks for your video, Im referring to it now. I have a 155cm x 75cm custom top Im using with Jarvis legs. Im assuming by 27" - 30" you mean the width, of which mine is 29", so I should use 6.75"? thanks!

[@RuslanTulupov]

Yup!

[@maxp6521]

4:13: Wasn't very clear that you have to measure 5.5 inches to the HOLE of the frame, not the edge of the frame. I accidentally measured mine to the edge by following this video, but later read in the manual that it's to the hole. My desk is a little wobbly now.

I recently got the a jarvis desk secondhand with some of the wood screws and washers missing. does anyone know the size of them?

[@HimeNoHogosha]

Did everything drill into the edges where the Linnmon table has particle board support? I know the center areas have only thin wood veneer and paper honeycomb fill; did those regions need screws and would they hold?

[@RuslanTulupov]

In some places I hit the support and in others no - the mix worked well! I have since swapped tabletops for a completely solid one and am working on a follow up video. But it lasted almost a year with no issues with a mix of particle board + support holes

So me like an idiot put the control box on the other side that you placed it, wires are all in but one of the leg wires is being pressed up against the table top because of it’s placement. Should i take it down and move it over so the wire doesn’t damage ? I think I even put the wires in the opposite slots too and it’s hard to take out :/

[@RuslanTulupov]

Oof, sounds like it. I don't think the wire is long enough to reach

at 5:54, you used the middle drill bit in this dremel set? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302Z3/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i heard the dremel is flawed because it does not properly grip the 4 smallest drill bits in that set but would greatly appreciate it if you could confirm your experience for this project

@@RuslanTulupov In case you were interested, Fully allowed me to return just the lifting columns portion of the frame so I could get the extended version! So glad and really impressed with their customer support. I was wondering, do you think I’ll be able to simply remove the feet and then switch the lifting columns with the frame still mounted to the tabletop? Or do you think I will need to take the frame apart entirely and remount it with the new columns...

I have no experience with that and it’d be a 50/50 guess :/ on one hand it’d make sense for them to be similar parts but on the other you never know... And hey congrats! That’s awesome to hear!
