It’s small enough to stow away and to move around to different areas in your home. This portable standing desk hack costs $18 and brilliantly uses 2 sizes of Ikea Variera Kitchen shelve inserts and this one and then spray paints them. This Ikea desk hack is counter height, so it could work well as a standing desk too. The desktop is an inexpensive piece of laminated shelving. It uses the Ikea Trofast shelves as the base.

If your on the lookout for another afforable ($150) DIY craft table with lots of quick and accessible storage, then this Ikea craft desk hack is a must try! This is the one I created in my craft workspace. You can also adjust the height of the monitor. The monitor arm allows you to swivel your screen in a 360 degree range of motion. For the screen, I reused an old dual screen monitor arm stand we had (I only needed a single) to save on even more table space, here’s a similar single arm stand. I ended up using an adjustable monitor/laptop stand to raise my laptop screen to be eye level (and bonus storage space underneath). The combination uses the IKEA Linnmon Tabletop ($9) and the Adils legs (4 at $4/each) for a total of $25! And to show how much space you have, I’m able to fit 1 large 22″ screen with a 12″ laptop. If you’re wondering about the cheapest desk/legs combination available at Ikea – it’s this one.

It’s also tall enough to use a rolling storage cart below it for craft supplies or office supplies. This works well as a standing desk for crafting, painting/hobby, but might not be tall enough to be used as a standing desk for computer screens (more on those below). The maximum heigh you can get with the legs is 35.5″ high. In this case we used the sit/standing desk for a counter-height crafting table. One of the cheapest ways to get an adjustable height desk at Ikea is to use the adjustable Olov adjustable legs ($15/each) with a compatible tabletop.
