Meet DAVE, IKEA’s laptop table

DAVE Ikea Laptop Table

Allow me to introduce you to DAVE, the laptop table from IKEA. The 2008 IKEA print catalog shows DAVE in a teenager’s room and only shows white as a color option, but really it is suitable for all ages and also comes in black. I recommend getting the black though since the white could start to look dingy over time with heavy use. 

DAVE currently retails for $24.99, which is already a great price for a laptop desk, but DAVE also has good design going for him it. It’s height-adjustable, and the tabletop’s triangular shape will allow it to easily fit into a corner, which could be a perfect storage spot when he it is not in use. The tabletop also has a hole in back for cords to go through, and is spacious enough to fit a laptop, mousepad, as well as other small accessories.

OK, so this being a table from IKEA it doesn’t exactly feel the sturdiest, but hey, for only $24.99 you can expect perfection, its also better than burning your lap. Currently owning one I can say it works fine for me!

    That would be a great addition to my living room provided that there were some vent holes/slats on the bottom of the desk…

    Can you say how sturdy is it? Can it cope with being used for typing/working with a laptop without wobbling or feeling unstable?

    Thanks

    I can’t say how sturdy it is on a hard floor since I have mine on carpet, but it does wobble when I type on the laptop.  But just as long as you don’t totally pound on the keyboard then it should be fine.

    I tested the Ikea Dave and the Lounge-book, they are two different product and approaches. I think there is space for a comparison starting from uses, navigating, working, typing evaluating vibration, comfort, ergonomics…
