Anyone bought desk frames like these from Taobao before? Wanted to combine with the Ikea kitchen work top to get a large desk. Was wondering hows the stability and shipping.

i suggest don't try later ah. arrive here ah loose it shape and become not stable. u will have a headache getting a return/replacement

just get locally. unless u willing to take risk for the price ..

shipping takes about 1 month ++ and you have to go tru a forwarder like ezbuy or some other agents

and i believe the pricing is by it's weight

The stability is ok, there is no wobble when i oscillate the table in the x and y axis (parallel to the floor). Just for reference, the table top is ard 30kg.
The only thing is that the frame material is quite thin and hollow, but i think it's ok for its price?
The cross beam will definitely improve stability. In my case, i added one cross beam and told the seller to place the cross beam to the extreme end so that i can keep the chair flushed when not in use.
Hope it helps :grin:
