What do I need to build the complete BESTÅ desk?

The IKEA BESTÅ DIY kit is the mechanism that transforms the IKEA BESTÅ cabinet into a rotating workspace.

Why Hynge?

Ben, the inventor and owner of Hynge, wanted a workspace that could completely disappear when it wasn't being used.

That idea led to the Hynge mechanism — a way to transform everyday furniture into flexible spaces without permanently sacrificing the room around it.

The BESTÅ version makes that idea accessible as a DIY project.

A desk when you need it.
More space otherwise.
