help LackRack Under-Desk Mount FAQ

What is an IKEA LackRack?

The LackRack is a clever, budget-friendly DIY server rack solution that converts standard IKEA Lack side tables into a 19-inch rack mount. By stacking the tables and securing equipment with standard rack rails, IT enthusiasts can easily mount servers and network switches under a desk. It is incredibly popular in the homelab community due to the incredibly low cost of the IKEA Lack table.

What is the weight limit of an IKEA LackRack?

While the exact weight limit varies, the standard IKEA Lack table can comfortably hold about 30 to 40 pounds of evenly distributed network equipment. Because the table is made of lightweight particleboard and paper honeycomb filling, heavy enterprise-grade servers may cause it to bow or break. Users often reinforce the inside of the table with wooden blocks to increase its weight capacity.

How do you mount network gear to an IKEA Lack table?

To mount standard 19-inch network gear to an IKEA Lack table, you use a specialized LackRack mounting bracket designed for the table's specific dimensions. These metal brackets securely screw into the bottom or sides of the table, providing a solid anchor point for your equipment. You then slide your patch panels and switches into the brackets.
