Is this just a random coincidence? Is there some explainable reason why the dimension is perfect? Surely IKEA did not have this use in mind when originally designing this?

It's a round number of inches that happens to be right, possibly because "this size is good for a table" is what probably went through the engineer who decided what size a rackmount should be at the beggining of time

  I don't think it's inches. This is a Swedish product. The tables I have from Ikea measure 55cm from what I recall. The legs are 5cm wide.

I've kind of hoped some manufacturer would clue into this as a possible side benefit to their design of furniture. But the 0.0000001% of humans who want a rack at home are probably not a substantial market, so my guess is this must have been happy coincidence.

Numbers game. Lots of tables exist with a lot of dimensions. Only the ones that have the perfect dimensions are mentioned.
