Does this project fix any of the underlying issues.
- wl 8y agoFrom the product page: > Why are there so many negative reviews for the BEKANT sit/stand desks? > In 2016, IKEA identified a batch of BEKANT sit/stand desk Power Supply Units and underframes that stopped working after some time. The faults were related to a production flaw. This problem has since been addressed and fixed, so all new BEKANT sit/stand desks and underframes will not have this issue. So they claim the issue is fixed. I'd rather just spend the money for some desk made with Linak actuators.
- strig 8y agoThe new Ikea Idasen desks have Linak motors.
- jandrese 8y agoBut did they go back and fix the flaw on the desks people had already bought? That seems like a crucial point to calibrate how much I'm going to trust this company with my money.
- dragonwriter 8y agoThey have a 10 year warranty, and the problem was publicly identified as a manufacturing defect. So, yeah.
- pjholmes 8y agoAfter being on hold for long periods, I did receive another power supply and controller. It worked for a few days and then I had the same problem all over again. I have not contacted them again - dreading the wait time. How much would you trust a company that replaces defective parts with defective parts?
- Symbiote 8y agoThe website says there's a 10 year warranty.
- monitron 8y agoIt seems like a lot of people have had problems, but just to provide a dissenting view, I have one and I really like mine. It has performed flawlessly and fits my needs well.
