    # Ikea Kallax/Expedit Standing Desk

    ![fully assembled Expedit standing desk](http://f.cl.ly/items/0q460w002K1l2B3p3E2f/2014-07-23%2015.37.05.jpg)
    An Expedit standing desk
    An Expedit standing desk.

    This is a tall desk; shorter people may want to consider cutting two 1x4 units into 1x2 units (since a top and bottom panel are needed for each 1x2 unit) to replace the 2x2 units and adding legs or casters, but I'm not sure if the internal construction of the Kallax units would support that. Or, you know, stand on a platform. Don't forget your anti-fatigue mat!

    ## Parts Needed
    * 2x [1x4 Kallax Unit](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90275844/) - *1x5 Expedit units can be used for a wider desk*
    * 2x [2x2 Kallax Unit](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40275813/) - *2x2 Expedit units must be used if and only if using 1x5 Expedit units*
    * 4x 1x2 flat braces, e.g. [these](http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=315665-1277-MPB118)
    * 2x 2x2 flat braces, e.g. [these](http://www.lowes.com/pd_315704-1277-DPB119_4294711038__)
    * *optional: 8x legs or casters, e.g. something similar to [these legs](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10177767/) or [these casters](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00288657/) - this is only needed if height is too low for desired use*

    ## Instructions

    1. Completely assemble one of the 1x4 (or 1x5 if applicable) units and both of the 2x2 units.
    2. Partially assemble the remaining 1x4/1x5 unit by adding the top and bottom panels to one side panel.
    3. Stack the assembled 1x4/1x5 units on top of the 2x2 units and fasten flat braces as illustrated.
