Frequently asked questions
What height range does the IKEA BEKANT cover?
The desktop travels from 65 to 125 cm, a range of 60 cm. A single motor handles the lift, with no memory presets, so the height is set by button every time you switch position. The range is wide enough to suit both short and tall users.
How much weight does the IKEA BEKANT hold?
The desktop is rated for 70 kg. That is enough for a dual monitor setup and a laptop with room to spare. On a motorized desk that figure covers everything left on top during each rise and fall. The weight of monitor arms and stands counts towards that total.
How big is the IKEA BEKANT desktop?
The desktop measures 160 by 80 cm. That is a large format, two 27 inch monitors fit side by side with room to spare. The 80 cm of depth let you push the monitor back to a comfortable viewing distance. Cable management is included to keep the cords under the top.
