Easy DIY Lego Tables Ikea Hack! Lego Desk Tutorial
How many moms can give me a big Amen when I say I don’t want to ever step on another lego again??!! If you have ever walked into your child’s room in the dark only to step on a pile of legos then you will never forget the pain. That’s why every lego-loving child needs this easy DIY lego desk to hide AND organize the legos (and more importantly, get them off the floor!). It’s a fun lego tables Ikea hack that my husband and I came up with and I’ll show you how to do it. No skills required!
DIY Lego Desk
I finally said enough is enough with my son’s messy room and vowed to get him some proper lego organization so he would not only have somewhere to put all of his legos, but also have a place to display his finished creations. I could hardly scold him for his messy room when he didn’t have anywhere to PUT the legos in the first place. So I drug my husband to Ikea and spent hours wandering around in search of the perfect lego tables Ikea hack I had in my brain. After hours of trial and error this DIY lego desk was born and I have to say, it’s worked brilliantly!
One thing I LOVE about this lego desk is that it HIDES the lego mess when my son isn’t playing with them and it also ORGANIZES the legos so he can easily find the pieces he needs when he is busy building.
Lego Tables Ikea Hack
To create this lego tables Ikea hack desk we took 2 of the Alex drawer units and 1 Klimpen table top and put them together to create the desk. Then in the drawers we added the Variera flatware trays to organize the legos in divided sections. In the 3 bottom drawers that are deeper, you can fit 2 of the trays stacked on top of each other (opposite directions so they don’t nest together) for double the space!
The organizers fit perfectly and house the legos nicely. We decided that sorting the pieces by shape was going to be a job for another day! We are LOVING how organized Aiden’s lego desk is!
We left one bottom drawer without an organizer insert so he could neatly store all of his instruction booklets. Now he can access them anytime and easily find the pieces to build each project. This lego tables Ikea hack has been a lifesaver!
Now Aiden sits at his lego desk for hours and builds all sorts of creations! His latest favorites are the Lego Batman Movie Bane Toxic Truck Attack set which he built in no time and has played with ever since. My son Carson LOVES the Lego Juniors Cars Cruz Ramirez Race Simulator set and my daughter is a big fan of the Lego Brick Headz Beast!
We also added some shelves from Ikea above the lego desk so Aiden can proudly display all of his finished Lego creations! It was SO easy to put this lego tables Ikea hack together (once we figured out which pieces to use!) and I’m so happy to not be stepping on legos anymore!

Tres cool! My oldest son is 40, my youngest is 23 – he moved out of the house for 4 years (university). The lego collections went out to grandkids. However, I am still finding lego pieces here and there. Don’t be too organized – it’s nice to bring back memories when you find one behind the washing machine….in the pocket of a jacket you haven’t worn in years….and other places hidden for years 🙂
Love this!! There are 2 tabletops. Which size did you use?
Thanks! We used the top that measures 24″ x 47″
Hello, how did you attach the tabletop to the drawer units or is it just sitting on top of them?
It just sets on top. It includes clear, round pieces to help hold it from sliding around.
Are the Alex drawers a good choice for lego? I want to buy the alex rolling drawer unit but am worried the drawers won’t extend far enough and if they do extend…the unit will fall over. Any thoughts?
These drawers have been great. I also have the rolling unit in my office. I think it would work fine as well!
Hi Sarah, I just stumbled over your post – and I’m so happy to find it! Thank you for sharing.
As we’re thinking of buying a similar lego desk for our 7 year old, I was wondering how comfy it would be having to bend down to the drawers everytime you need something. So what is your/your kid’s experience – is building still fun and easy this way? (Till now, we know playing lego only on the floor, but with a one year old walking around we definitively have to change this!)
We put the trays inside the drawers so it is easy to take a tray out and put it on the desk and grab from it. The top drawers are easy to access while sitting down. My son has had no complaints so it seems to work well. I hope that helps!
Yes, perfect, thank you Sarah! 🙂
Pinning this! Always looking for smart, useful ways to organize LEGOs for kids! Thanks for sharing!
I made this!!! Thank you so much for the awesome idea. What kind of chair did you use, since the table ends up being a little high? Or even if you could share the height of the chair?
With a table height of 50-60 cm, choosing a chair with a length of 30-40 is most suitable, not including the backrest of the chair. geometry dash meltdown

Words that can be used instead of ‘key’ and ‘important’ include significant, critical, essential,
vital, fundamental, and pivotal. Some of these words are absolute synonyms,
meaning they have the exact same meaning as “important.” Other words are near
synonyms, meaning they are similar in meaning but
not identical. The word “important” suggests a degree of significance, whereas “crucial” implies something that is absolutely necessary or critical.
Understanding the nuances of these synonyms can help writers and speakers convey
significance and relevance with precision and impact. In this article, we will explore a variety of synonyms for the word “important” and how they can be used to enhance
communication and expression.
Important means something matters for a reason, like influence or impact.
Use urgent when time is the main reason it matters. Important means something matters,
but urgent means it needs attention right now.
These fit leaders, respected people, or key jobs.
Below is a list of common synonyms for important with short meanings.
In writing, a synonym can make your meaning sharper,
like showing urgency, greatness, or deep value.

naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
