Watch out: newer Lack Tables from Ikea are less sturdy than their older predecessors. IKEA has made them even lighter than before, particularly the legs are almost cave inside, so beware that server racks might be too heavy for it
- serf 4y agowow -- how can that even be? I have a five or six year old lack I just disassembled due to wobbly joints. The entire thing was made of cardboard + a few small particle-wood reinforced areas near the joints, and a hard thick veneer. the veneer shell is doing 85% of the workload already. I can hardly fathom how a weaker version would even work as a table.
- tasuki 4y agoWould you say that it... lacks?
- kn0where 4y agoI think the “newer” LACK is the one you disassembled. Time flies, they cost-reduced it quite a number of years ago.
- LukeShu 4y agoAt garage sales sometimes you find older Lacks that have solid wood legs. With the newer hollow-leg ones, I find that if you punch out the bottom of the legs, you can snugly fit 1.75" square dowel inside. (Though I've heard that the thickness of the material varies by color; I can only confirm that 1.75" is the correct size for black tables.)
