Anyone has suggestions on how to attach an IKEA (or any other wood) countertop to this desk? I bought the Karlby to go with this but not sure what I need to do to attach it to the desk, like screws and/or some glue? I really don't like to put the Vast monitor on top of it just to drop it because the countertop is loose.
Any suggestions will be very welcome! Thanks!

eesparzaI purchased a cutting board countertop slab. Stained it and sealed it with polyurethane. Placed it on the stand and from underneath squared it up with a tape measure. Pre-drill your pilot holes and use the screws and pads that came with it. Doesn't weeble or wobble so it ain't falling down. I plan to put my vast on it soon! (In transit)
eesparzaI'll probably go with a walnut Karlby countertop as well. I think screws might be included in the desk frame package? But will figure that out.

ShawnTheWolverineYes, I was not aware that the screws were included. Took me about 30 minutes to assemble the frame and probably another 30-45 to put the Karlby countertop (I went for the 94in, looks awesome). Super recommended configuration!

eesparzaI finally went with the IKEA Gerton tabletop https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50106773/. It's of a preferable length (61 inch vs the 74/94 inch Karlby which is too long for me) and it's also cheaper. I'm going to apply some Danish oil so that I can get a similar dark walnut looking just as the walnut Karlby.

eesparzaI'm looking to use the Hammarp 74" counter-top with the dual motor legs. The counter-top is unfinished but I'm going to finish it using the instructions on this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MORaS_2-Gw8

SharkhunterAbsolutely no wobble. Super sturdy!! I didn't expect to get this much quality but assembly took less than one hour including screwing the top. Super easy to follow instructions!!
