Can I adjust the desk to a height lower than 23 1/4 inches?
My child is very small and needs a lower surface for their activities

I have the PÅHL desk with add-on unit and I'm trying to adjust it to its highest setting of 28 3/8 inches, but the legs won't budge when I turn the knobs. What could be causing this issue?

Is there a specific trick or technique needed to adjust the height?

The issue you're experiencing with adjusting the PÅHL desk to its highest setting of 28 3/8 inches is likely due to the desk being slightly stuck or jammed. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Ensure the desk is on a level surface. Uneven flooring can sometimes prevent the legs from adjusting properly.

2. Try loosening the knobs a bit more. Turn them counterclockwise several full rotations to fully disengage the locking mechanism.

3. Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as a silicone-based spray or oil, to the height adjustment mechanism on each leg. This can help free up any stuck components.

4. Firmly grasp the desktop and gently rock it back and forth while turning the knobs. The rocking motion can help release any binding in the adjustment system.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a more serious problem with the height adjustment mechanism. In that case, you may need to contact IKEA customer service for further assistance

I'm considering buying this desk for my child, but I have a concern about the stability of the desk at its lowest height setting (23 1/4 "). Will it be stable and sturdy enough for my child to work comfortably without worrying about the desk tipping over?

The PÅHL desk is designed to be stable and sturdy at all three height settings, including the lowest setting of 23 1/4 inches. The adjustable legs and the add-on shelf unit provide a solid and stable base that should prevent the desk from tipping over, even when used at the lowest height. As long as the desk is properly assembled according to the instructions, you can feel confident that your child will be able to work comfortably on this desk without any concerns about stability or tipping
