Chairs need more room than the desk does. At 132 cm by 58 cm, plan for a chair behind each used side, and check 76 cm of height against the chairs you already own.

Before the delivery day

Measure once, then move things.

This is the 132 × 58 × 76 cm desk. Leave 80 cm behind a pulled-out chair, and check the stair turn against the longest box before delivery day.

The ALEX comes in 2 sizes in this catalog, 100 to 132 cm wide. The room plans, clearances and care notes are written once for the family, so they are not repeated here.

Against the desk at 100 × 48 × 76 cm, this one is 32 cm wider and 10 cm deeper, which is the difference that decides whether it fits the gap you measured. At 132 × 58 cm it covers 0.77 square metres of floor, and at 76 cm tall it reads as low and wide in the room.

Wipe spills straight away and use coasters under hot cups. Felt pads under the legs save the floor and the joints.
