IKEA Signum Installation (How To)

[@maxbennett2596]

cool how he responds to comments after 3 years

[@NickCarroll]

Yep I'm still active even though it's been repurposed as a disc golf channel. Nice to see people still watching my older consumer product videos. 😀

[@NickCarroll]

@@maxbennett2596 Thank you! I do have other product reviews coming, but they're all related to disc golf. That said one of them is my GoPro Hero 9 Black review.

[@ruslanneruka]

Thank you. It was not clear from the site photos whether it uses screws or not, so I was not sure if I should buy it

[@iTzBrillianTFX]

I'd mount them with the plastic plugs because of the Linnmon-Desk and its cavity. Your screws could just fall out someday or the Signum isnt solid at all after a couple of months. Some people using them for manage a huge bunch of cables (trible monitor setups for example) and they having a good weight. Maybe you dont but that doesnt matter in a tutorial. 😅 The plastic plugs are special made for cavity like the Linnmon-Desk is, so there is no reason to not use them. 😂

[@oh9710]

Maybe a really dumb question but how do I install the plastic plugs exactly? Just drill them in?

[@arnvonsalzburg5033]

@@oh9710 I guess you drill the holes, put in the plastic plugs and then screw the screws into them?

Hallo,Nick habe kein Wort verstanden, aber dennoch alles verstanden wie man es anbringt, tolle Anleitung , danke Dir💁🏼‍♀️🇹🇷💐

[@NickCarroll]

Vielen Dank und einen schönen Tag!

Most incomprehensive tutorial

[@kevinchen3878]

I bought it for 10 years ago, i found out my desk was too small to use it. Currently, i change my desk and able to use Signum. Thank for sharing

Essentially you want to be essentially essential so that the viewers will think you are essentially smart

[@thunder5632]

Thanks Nick, this was super helpful

[@nathanieljayzara1028]

4:44 or you could just take off the grills first then screw it with a normal screwdriver..

[@edster9743]

what did you do with the plastic plugs :D?

[@drangus7000]

did u ever find out?

"Essentially"

[@twitcheah9893]

Are the feet small enough to install them on a 2x4?

[@NickCarroll]

The feet are a touch over 3" in length, so they'd work on the 4" part, or sidewise on a 2" beam since they're about 1cm wide.

[@twitcheah9893]

@@NickCarroll Thank you. Going to IKEA tomorrow to pick one up

[@NickCarroll]

@@twitcheah9893 It's worth it! I'm still using it and that desk to this day. I highly recommend it.

[@yuhyuh5674]

Hey nick, is a drill necessary to create holes in the desk for the screws to enter?

[@NickCarroll]

Once I marked where the holes would be, I used a wood screw and a screwdriver. I couldn't find the drill in my garage so I settled for doing this manually.

[@yuhyuh5674]

@@NickCarroll hey nick, thanks for the lightning fast response! Was it hard to screw the wood screws into the desk cavity manually?

[@NickCarroll]

@@yuhyuh5674 No it was fairly easy. Basically I think I tapped in the wood screws a tiny bit with a smaller hammer to get a little impression going, and then started screwing them in after that. It's also possible I used a tiny nail to do the hammering with, just to get the holes started. Hard to recall from when I did the video. BTW the Signum and Linnmon desktop are holding up perfectly after all this time. I haven't had to make any adjustments and it's holding all the cables (and 2 surge protector strips) just fine. One of the best money and time investments I ever made.

[@yuhyuh5674]

@@NickCarroll awesome, thanks once again for the detailed responses :)

[@shadym8]

Signum still working?

[@NickCarroll]

Yep, perfectly so far. Holds everything well up there, including 2 power strips and 3 little monitor "brick" power supplies. 🙂

[@josephking6840]

Is that the ikea linnmon desk. I’m wondering if the signum works for the linnmon

[@NickCarroll]

+Joseph King yes it is. ☺️

[@ajbarrett3661]

@@NickCarroll I am also wondering how it attaches due to the filling of the desk being the hollow honeycomb material.

[@rosscode6814]

Hey Nick. How about separating the horizontal part from the "feet" parts and screw in the feet parts alone, without the horizontal part in the way?

[@mpg19844u]

Exactly!!!

[@Trimz]

Is that the linnmon desk top?

[@NickCarroll]

Yes it is! Still using it today. A good investment in my time and money spent way back when. :)

[@Trimz]

@@NickCarroll bought it last week. I was worried about installing the signum cause the table top is hollow and made mainly of cardboard.

[@NickCarroll]

@@Trimz The one I have isn't exactly the toughest wood but it's lasted however many years so far just fine, and the Signum hasn't budged any since then. Holds a ton of cables, a surge protectors, and two little brick adapters for two monitors I have that use them.

[@Trimz]

@@NickCarroll nice!

[@nanbanFruitcake]

Can it be mounted in a linnmon desk?

[@NickCarroll]

Yes, I am using it with one.

[@nanbanFruitcake]

@@NickCarroll thank you

[@NickCarroll]

@@nanbanFruitcake No problem! It's holding up well after all this time.

[@inf-ZERO]

Is it fall down now？

[@NickCarroll]

Still working great!

[@inf-ZERO]

@@NickCarroll happy to hear that, gonna buy a signum on my linnmon now!

[@saqibahmed4374]

[@qpr5418]

Thanks this helped a lot

[@gqld1001]

Can the stand be installed horizontally? Because my table is build weird so I can’t install it with the stands vertically

[@NickCarroll]

yes, as long as the length of the Signum isn't longer than the direction you wish to install it on the table.

[@neat2014]

So essentially all you need to essentially do is to essentially follow the instructions

[@NickCarroll]

Essentially! 🤣

[@neat2014]

@@NickCarroll but in all honesty this video helped me a lot, thanks nick

[@NickCarroll]

@@neat2014 I'm glad it did! I wanted to do it differently with camera angles and such but I did what I could with what I had. 🙂

[@pfchaz6599]

i have this desk for my gaming setup but i dont have a pc so should i bother with the rack?

[@zaidnadeem238]

heatedvoltz I think he meant he uses a laptop as his main driver

[@KillaMurda1871]

If you have to plug in more than 2 things, then I would go for the rack; since it would make life easier.
