IKEA PÅHL desk instructions

To adjust the height of the PÅHL Desk, follow these steps:

1. Locate the knobs on the legs of the desk.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counterclockwise.
3. Adjust the legs to the desired height (23 1/4", 25 7/8", or 28 3/8").
4. Once the desk is at the preferred height, tighten the knobs by turning them clockwise to secure the legs in place

To adjust the PÅHL desk to its maximum height of 28 3/8", try the following:

1. Ensure the desk is placed on a flat, level surface.
2. Locate the adjustment knobs on the legs of the desk.
3. Fully loosen the knobs by turning them counterclockwise several times.
4. Gently lift the desktop up and extend the legs to the desired height.
5. Once the desk is at the maximum height, tighten the adjustment knobs by turning them clockwise until secure.

If you are still having difficulty adjusting the height, check that the legs are not obstructed and ensure the knobs are turning freely. You may need to apply a small amount of lubricant to the knob mechanisms to help them move more smoothly. Let me know if you have any other questions

The PÅHL Desk is designed to be stable at all three height settings, including the maximum height of 28 3/8". The desk has a sturdy metal frame and a wide base that provides good stability, even when the desk is extended to its tallest setting. The weight capacity of 110 lb (50 kg) should be more than enough to support a laptop and a child leaning on the desk. As long as the desk is assembled correctly and not overloaded, you should not experience any issues with wobbling or tipping over, even at the highest height setting

To adjust the PÅHL desk to its highest point, here are some tips for loosening the knobs on the legs:

First, make sure you are turning the knobs counterclockwise to loosen them. Apply firm, even pressure when turning the knobs. You may need to use a bit of force to get them started.

If the knobs are still difficult to turn, try tapping them lightly with the palm of your hand or a rubber mallet. This can help break them free if they are stuck.

You can also try spraying a small amount of lubricant, like WD-40, onto the knob threads. Let it sit for a minute before trying to turn the knobs again.

If the knobs are still not budging, you may need to use pliers or a wrench to get them loosened. Be careful not to over-tighten when readjusting the desk height.

Take your time and apply steady, even pressure. With a little effort, you should be able to adjust the PÅHL desk to the desired height

To adjust the PÅHL desk to the lowest height of 23 1/4":

1. Locate the knobs on the legs of the desk. There should be one knob on each leg.
2. Loosen the knobs by turning them counterclockwise.
3. Gently push down on the desktop to lower the legs to the shortest 23 1/4" position.
4. Once the desk is at the desired height, tighten the knobs by turning them clockwise to secure the legs in place.

That's all there is to it! The adjustable legs allow you to easily customize the height of the desk to suit your child's needs as they grow. Let me know if you have any other questions
