The back has a caveat great for placing pencil, pen holders, and miscellaneous desktop items. Although small, it is spacious and is great for utility. Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - A litter smaller than I thought it would be, but very nice looking! Not the easiest to put together, but about the typical time you would assume it would take to put a desk together. The back has a slit so you can put cords through and a little "shelf" to put a surge protector on (or anything else you want). It's great for small items you want to hide or other items on a different level so they don't spill! Review: So easy a caveman could do it? I think not!!! - So I bought this desk as its Ikea, the definition of 1/2 brain dead easy to assemble furniture. The directions were easy enough to understand, however non of the pieces are labled. I was down on all fours counting pre-drilled holes to make sure I had the right piece. Once I have all that sorted and I start to essemble the desk, things are going fine until the predrilled holes aren't lining up. Obviously I made a mistake and carefully take it all apart again (problem, i really want to do a god job and make this a solid desk so i'm using Gorilla Glue). After careful study of the directions, that i got wrong, I put it together to other way only to find out hat I had it right the first time and Ikea forgot to drill the pre-drilled holes. Off to the garage to fetch the drill. After an hour of feeling like a stoned caveman trying to comprehend an alon key a finally got ot all together with a few extra screws (if they didn't drill the hole and it wasn't a supporting joint, then it didn't need it, right?) I get it all together with a lot of help from my friend Gorilla Glue and it is ready for my pre-teens to destroy. What I learned from this is to put it all together first then use the glue and Gorilla Glue is to furniture as duct tape is to quick auto repairs. I'll also point out that I have a back ground in construction and carpentry. I have put together more Ikea crap then I care to remember and this (i hope) most have just been defective unit. If I had an Ikea near by I would have returned it and demanded a refund and damages. On the bright side my kids have a desk I don't care about anf my wife laughed her ass off at me. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0050PITXA | | Additional Features | Built-In Pencil/Pen Holder | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Base | Wood | | Base Type | Wood | | Brand Name | IKEA | | Color | Chocolate | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (50) | | Desk Design | Computer Desk | | Drawer Type | Single Drawer | | Finish Types | Stained | | Frame Material Type | Wood | | Furniture Finish | Chocolate | | Included Components | Pen/Pencil Holders | | Includes All Assembly Tools | No | | Is Customizable? | No | | Item Depth | 39.878 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Material Type | Wood | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Number Of Cabinets | 1 | | Number Of Enclosed Shelves | 1 | | Number Of Shelves | 1 | | Product Grade | New | | Recommended Uses For Product | Office, Working | | Required Assembly | Yes | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | Small | | Storage Options | shelf | | Style Name | Modern | | Top Color | Chocolate | | Top Material Type | Wood | ## Product Details - **Base Material:** Wood - **Brand:** IKEA - **Color:** Chocolate - **Desk design:** Computer Desk - **Finish Type:** Stained - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Office, Working - **Shape:** Rectangular - **Special Feature:** Built-In Pencil/Pen Holder - **Style:** Modern - **Top Material Type:** Wood ## Images ![IKEA LAIVA DESK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mxHp6IwNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE *by R***D on October 14, 2012* A litter smaller than I thought it would be, but very nice looking!

The directions-or lack of clear directions was terrible. I finally got it right but was very disgusted. I am female and not afraid to try new things but this was the pitts!! It seems very sturdy once I got it together but it wasn't worth the effort. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1971730-ikea-laiva-desk](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1971730-ikea-laiva-desk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
