The box came with everything, including the tabletop. The tabletop has all of the mounting holes and stuff already drilled. You could probably try to match it, but the way it all goes together, I’d be wary of tolerances for the gray pop rivet connections. You might be better off with a different sit-stand desk that doesn’t use plastic pop rivets to secure the tabletop, or if you really want a Bekant, you probably ought to buy correctly sized drill bits for those holes at least. Bear in mind that the weight capacity and stuff assumes you have the standard tabletop installed, so if your custom table top is heavier, it’ll eat into the load capacity.

They weren’t kidding about the weight limit–at one point, I was pretty close to the upper end, and it really felt like the motors were working harder than I’d like.

Going off memory, the cable connecting the legs together doesn’t have a lot of slack to it, just enough to fit loosely between them without straining the connectors.

I’d probably look around for a wider sit/stand desk if I were in your particular situation.

The motors are held together by a couple of long rails, and it’s actually just those rails that defines the minimum width of the assembly.

If you wanted to shorten the rails by taking a bit out of the middle and then reattaching the pieces together, it might work (the rails contribute a lot of the structural strength, so I’d be careful doing that).

Alternatively, you could fabricate a new pair of shorter rails if you have access to a workshop with the necessary tools. The motor units are self-contained and you’d basically only have to worry about lining up 4 bolt holes on each rail.

No bet–I’m entirely in agreement with you there! That was the fundamental issue I had with the $1995 price point–an unitasker that’s basically a severely crippled laptop with a half sized screen shouldn’t cost more than an Android tablet or a Chromebook.

That $9 computer looks awesome!
