Cheap Standing Desk Hack in a Small Space It costed her under $500 to put together and it’s fabulous! Source. If you’re looking for something that’s designer and custom-made looking without the custom-made price, check out Kelin’s gorgeous hack where she uses the Ikea Alex drawers, Ekby Alex shelves with some simple Plywood. 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.
