Questions
Can the MICKE desk’s cabinet go on the left?
Yes. The manual draws both: pages 10 to 24 build it with the cabinet on the left and the metal frame on the right, pages 25 to 39 the other way round, as this guide does.
Which cam lock goes where?
MICKE has three kinds. 103114 goes in the drawers, 103430 in the cable channel’s boards, and 110126 in the cabinet’s bottom and under the top. Each step of the manual shows the right one with the others crossed out.
Why is the desk built lying on its back?
So the boards can be stood on their edges and locked on the floor. It is stood up only when the top and the frame are on, before the drawers and the door go in.
What tools do I need?
A cross-head screwdriver, a flat screwdriver and a hammer, as the manual shows. The hex key and its handle for the frame’s screws are in the box.
How much can the MICKE desk hold?
IKEA gives 50 kg for the desk and 8 kg for each shelf.

About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-476615-12 (2024-04-30). The outer size, 105 × 50 × 75 cm, is IKEA's published size. The overall size is IKEA’s; the boards’ thicknesses, the cabinet’s width and the hole positions are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
IKEA gives the desk’s maximum load as 50 kg, and 8 kg for each shelf.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and MICKE are named only to say which product this guide is for.
