Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

Owners like how this small MICKE fits tight rooms, but drawer-fit, wobble and cramped-workspace complaints keep coming up

IKEA shows 4,311 ratings and 4,270 distinct written reviews on this page, from 2015 to 2026, in many languages. They cover this small one-drawer MICKE (about 73x50 cm) in white plus black-brown, oak-effect and white-stained-oak versions and other markets; some name larger MICKE desks and a few cover only service. Most are short early impressions from parents buying for children, small-room and apartment users, remote workers, and people using it as a vanity, sewing table or printer stand; only a few describe months or years of use. Counts are reviews raising each topic. The reviews shown illustrate the main praise and complaints; they do not show how common each view is.

Room×Lab rating: 6.8 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners like this compact desk for small rooms, kids and light laptop use, and some report it intact after one to three years, but recurring drawer-fit, wobble and chipping complaints hold the score back. The 4.6-star average covers every finish and market on IKEA's page.

  • Compact size suits small rooms more than full work setups: Across all finishes and markets, 17 reviews are favorable and 16 critical about fitting work onto the small top. — Owners fit it into corners, small bedrooms and under loft beds, some with a laptop or a monitor on a riser. Others found a laptop plus papers tight or the depth too shallow for a comfortable monitor distance. A three-year owner found a riser and mouse pad left little room and called it better for kids and teens.
  • Many owners call it sturdy, but wobble reports persist: Across all finishes and markets, 19 reviews call it sturdy and 24 criticize its sturdiness or report wobble. — Wobble reports mention erasing, using the drawer and carpet; the carpet report and some others come from other finishes or markets. One owner's wobble disappeared after fixing an assembly mistake. One owner warned the desk can tip when a child leans on the open drawer and advised wall anchoring. Most sturdiness praise gives no load or time frame.
  • The drawer is roomy, but complaints about fit and runners recur: Across all finishes and markets, 16 reviews praise the drawer and 31 criticize it. — Owners stored laptops, makeup, paper and pens and described smooth running. Critics describe drawers that would not insert or close, runners that caught, fronts or bottoms that detached, and bottoms that sagged under load. Reviews run from 2015 to 2026, so test the drawer's fit and runners as you assemble it.

Before buying

Buy it for a tight corner, a child's homework spot or a laptop or vanity setup, not a large monitor plus paperwork. Check your knees and chair against the drawer and 24 3/4-inch clearance, and anchor it to the wall for a child.
