FS: Chi/MKE area IKEA Jerker desk

[pondo]

I'm retiring my Jerker desk. It is one of the early versions with a flat front rather than the curved cutout. I have two shelves and the cable management tray with it as well. Condition is good-ish considering it's been through 2 apartments and 2 houses now over its lifespan.

This would be local pickup only and I'm looking for $80. I am in Kenosha, WI, basically halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee.

edit: this time with pictures of the actual desk:

I'm in Milwaukee. What's the dimensions of it? Do you have the instructions so it can be disassembled and put into a car for transport?

The main desk part is 29" deep, about 46" wide overall. Pullout wings are about 12" square, and are not included in the width measurement. First shelf is 17.75" deep, second is 13.75" deep. Top shelf is at 56" in that picture, but the cool thing is the uprights have holes at 1.25" intervals so you can put the desk and shelves whereever they fit best.

I'm pretty sure the instructions are online, but it's very simple to break down and reassemble, all bolted together between the uprights. This came from IKEA so the whole thing breaks down to fit in a compact-car trunk, flat.

Thank you. If you could find me a link to the instructions or if you have them, that will make a huge difference. I've put together several IKEA pieces and it's best not to guess on assembly/disassembly with their products.

I'll ask the wife if she likes this and let you know. We've been looking for a desk about like this.

Well, I can't seem to find the Version 1 Jerker instructions anywhere, tons for the V2 which isn't exactly the same, but close. However, the toughest part of the assembly was the one-time stuff like screwing the tops to the underframes. The rest is just bolts through the uprights which is really straightforward. We can take it apart together and take pictures!

I have taken my Jerker apart and put it back together through about 5 moves, so it's quite easy. Just take pictures or count the holes to keep the same height, if you're keeping the same heights for the surfaces.

Your car will need to be able to fit the main desk surface, mine is 36"x48", so I have a slightly different version.

My wife hasn't even looked at the picture and is giving me resistance already, so it's probably not going to happen. Too bad too because it was actually the best fit from a practicality standpoint, but that's women! :facepalm:

Big John, let me know if you're still interested. I'll probably post it to Craigslist if I don't hear from you by the weekend.

 

[bigjohnstud2]

I am still interested, will pm you about pickup details.

I'm lucky enough to own a Jerker V2, but I've always envied the V1 owners. It's always appeared to me to be the super version.

Sold! Thanks dude!
