Over time, the O-ring in your manual standing desk may wear out, causing difficulties in height adjustment. This guide will walk you through the process of replacing the O-ring on the IKEA SKARSTA manual standing desk (model # 004.585.55), ensuring your desk continues to function smoothly.
The O-ring plays a critical role in the desk's height adjustment mechanism. A worn-out O-ring can lead to uneven or difficult adjustments.
Before starting, ensure the desk is clear of items. In Steps 3 and 11, you may want assistance to lift the table off and back on the table stand.
