In context
BEKANT size examples.
IKEA BEKANT desk dimensions
The BEKANT 120×80 desk has a 120 × 80 cm top (about 47.25 × 31.5 inches) on legs that adjust from 65 to 85 cm (25.6 to 33.5 in). The 160×80 desk has a 160 cm (63 in) wide top.
BEKANT manual vs sit/stand
The manual BEKANT is a fixed/seated desk that maxes out at 85 cm (33.5 in). Only the electric sit/stand BEKANT rises to standing height, about 125 cm (49 in) — the number to check for clearance under shelves or cabinets.
Run a check
Will your BEKANT fit?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The assembled width, depth, and height at the widest points, including feet, handles, and any headboard or back panel.
- 02The flat-pack box dimensions, which is what you actually carry up the stairs and load into the car, not the built piece.
- 03The item's smallest dimension, which decides whether tilting or turning it on edge gets it through a tight opening.
- 04The clear opening of every space on the route, measured to the gap and not the frame, plus diagonal clearance at any turn.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Measuring the assembled piece when the flat-pack box is what has to clear the door and the trunk.
- ⚠Forgetting that a tall unit close to 80 inches is right at standard door height before trim and flooring eat into it.
- ⚠Assuming a long box fits a sedan trunk when it really needs folded seats or an SUV cargo bay.
- ⚠Planning the doorway but ignoring the turn at the top of the stairs or the landing pivot.

Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
How deep is a BEKANT desk?
All standard BEKANT tops are 80 cm (31½ in) deep. Depth governs hallway projection and whether the tabletop turns through a doorway.
01Is the manual BEKANT a standing desk?
No — the manual BEKANT adjusts only between 65 and 85 cm (25⅝–33½ in), a seated range. The electric sit/stand BEKANT is the version that rises to a standing height of about 125 cm (49 in).
02How much weight can a BEKANT hold?
A BEKANT desk supports up to about 220 lbs (100 kg) distributed across the top. The tabletop and underframe ship in separate boxes for transport.
