Ikea to the rescue - Page 2

bcgood · 18th February 2009

Man, Ikea rocks I'm going to have to finally check the local store out. I had no idea that they had a GS on their design team.

Ibvee · 18th February 2009

I have both the racks, with the simple wooden one I had this idea, and I like it. Very easy if you need a 2 unit rack just somewhere on your desk. If you don't have a dedicated desk, this is very easy, and the screen is on the right height too.

Edit: and they have amazing sofas for in the back of the CR! :D

HA. As I read this, I am leaning on my Jerker in my studio. I love it.

Totally forgot about these:

The Ikea Redd shoe thingie. Ideal for desktop equipment.

rachel · 27th February 2009

I am trying to find those. I want them to put my drum machines and MC202 etc on.

But I don't have an Ikea nearby, so I am just waiting until some come my way....

do they still sell those large cylinder shaped pillows with zippers?

Refill them with rockwool: ghetto style IKEA bass traps.

You mean these?

=o]

alexp · 27th February 2009

I use the REDD shoeracks to get my synths up on an optimum playing angle..... I have a Jerker desk as well (their fantastic). I am thinking of selling it though, to make room for my Argosy.

Are the EINA desks stackable????

Lemonsqueezer · 27th February 2009

I now have my monitors on proper stands and set up better in the room. I had to saw the Jerker desk down to accommodate the change. Maybe I'll take a pic. Saved me getting a new desk when I got the stands. Though I would love an Argosy.

divine source · 28th February 2009

well its time to go and visit ikea.....

its more cheep to buy it in ikea, and then modify it (3U or 4U ??? - its for my desk,and on it my screen's need to seat),then to buy the wood + the extra parts.

alexp · 28th February 2009

Ooh, how much for your Jerker?

----That sounded almost like a proposition.

alexp · 4th March 2009

Dirty!!!!!!!!

Im not sure yet... Make me an offer.... Its the basic Jerker with 2 of the swingable shelves (great for monitor speakers), and the computer shelf that sits underneath and gets your cpu up off the ground....

It's good to see someone else who sets up the studio before adding the skirting board to the walls in their new studio ahahha

I've been meaning to do mine for a month now

seen-da-sizer · 4th March 2009

Ikea storage shelves at my old place.

There is no Ikea where I live now

but the good news is that I might be able to get all my synths into the new studio ... eventually.

Bitfinder · 4th March 2009

Same here, no Ikea either :( I'm in Rep. of Ireland.
Nice collection of korg's you got there btw :P

Nope not mine, thank fk. I would guess it was poorly built as all the Ikea stuff I've made seems pretty solid. Vinyl does weigh a lot though, someone told me one of the blokes from St Etienne caused structural damage to his house from storing too much vinyl in one part of it.

divine source · 10th March 2009

just got the RAST bedside as my rack,but now i have a problem to find rack rails - the only one that my local shop have not fit.....

maybe some one know where can i find one + the screws in austria or in europe - 3U will be the best,but all so bigger one will be fain.

tnx

This little white cart is from Ikea. It's for bathrooms but fits my Voice of Saturn Synth & Sequencer perfectly. To add to the Ikea geekdum I keep cables in Ikea jars:
