IKEA nail desk?

[Perfecttennails]

Hi ladies.

I know there are threads on this, but 2 things...
1. I don't understand how ikea works 😖
2. Every time I click a link someone has left, the table is no longer in production. Lol

Basically I want to get myself a desk so that I can start working from home. I have looked at those foldaway portable ones for £50 on eBay, but on a course I went to recently,I was using one and it's so small I had no room to work on it. I have looked at proper manicure stations but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment, as I'm just starting up at home.
I have seen a lot of people talk about IKEA desks and say how good they are but I'm not sure which one is the best to get? I don't want one that is so wide I will have to stretch over it, but at the same token I don't want one too small that I have no room for my stuff. It will be set up in my front room so because I have a young daughter I would like something with storage that can be locked such as a cupboard or drawers, so I can lock in the day and then take my stuff out at night when she's in bed. I am not too worried if the cupboard that I buy is lockable as it is easy to stick a lock on it once I've got it at home but I've seen a few people setups but everytime I try to click on the table they recommended it says IKEA doesn't stock any more?
I have seen the glasholm one mentioned a few times and I do like the idea of a glass tabletop but I don't understand IKEA's system, so I can't work out whether one half of that table can be put on a cupboard or whether there are matching cupboards; it's a bit of a brain freeze for me lol.
I have seen this one and wondered if it would be suitable or if there is something similar people are using?

I swapped mine on Saturday I did have the portable one


But was too small so
I swapped it for ikea one


£17 for table top and legs and the glass top Is £25 ( not on pic )

It's very sturdy you can chose different colour and style legs and mix and match if you want drawers.

I'm really pleased with it - definatly recommend having the glass top
I think the table is called limminol or something HTH x

 

[Topsy]

The drawers to match desk were around £40-£60 if I remember right

 

[ajclem92]

They were yes, one sec I'll find a pic!

 

[ajclem92]

These were £25 they fit perfectly underneath the desk, the draws are a great size for nail varnish bottles! (Sorry for clutter was mid set up!)

Hey, that's the one I have been thinking about getting
Is it a good width, as in you aren't too far away from your clients? x

Hey, I bought the Micke and had some glass cut to put on top. It's got a drawer and some storage at the side and I absolutely love it. This is a pic

 

[Topsy]

Yes it's perfect width - you don't have to stretch - I have my seat a little higher than the clients and it's great - just need to get a arm rest for it 👍

Thank you I got it from Amazon. Very reasonable at £37.50 and has amazing reviews (read the reviews for the black one) this is it in white



I can't recommend it enough, you can adjust the brightness, the height and the tilt of the lamp. It's excellent xx

 

[natalie1983]

My desk was only a Argos one we didn't use the slate of wood at the side or the back (for clients leg room) we got a breakfast pole off amazon an fitted it on the side as I preferred the look of it like that but it's personal preference this is it ......
