Craft desk! | | RycraftyRycrafty

I finally get my craft desk tomorrow! I was searching Craiglist and Kijiji at work today, hoping to find something, and I found the perfect thing.
It is from Ikea (most of our house is, if I’m honest), and is the Vika Gruvan table top, with Vika Curry legs. Not the pretty trestle legs they generally display with this top, but the simple legs to give you more room underneath, which is good. Then I just need a rolly set of drawers for under, and I’m set. What is exciting for me is the area under the glass where you can put stuff. Pretty things yes, but it is also the perfect place to stash my laptop when I’m working on something else.
So excited to have a desk to craft on, a good-sized one. Eee!

Hi there,

I have a really silly Q. I just bought a Vika Gruvan desk with Curry legs like you did. Not tried putting them together, but according to this site you can’t use one with the other:

So my Q is — is the combination working for you? And if so, how? And if not, what did you use?

Sorry it’s not a very crafty Q

I just bought the Vika Gruvan desk with Curry legs too today… The Orlando store even has one set up this way in the show room. But I found out after unpacking everything that the assembly manual is saying you shouldn’t use the curry legs.

So I’d also like to know how this combination has worked for you, and Robyn.
