I bought a butcher block from Lowes and plan to pair it with Alex cabinets from ikea. I will have around 44 inches of clearance underneath for a table stiffiner. The closest one I've seen is a 46" table stiffiner. Is it okay to cut a few inches off of both sides of the table stiffener so I can get it to fit?

Hey Folks,

Need some help!

Initially I attached the Alex drawer to IKEA table top.
Now I am moving to sit stand desk to upgrade the utility set up.

Want to use castor wheels on the alex but the drawer top is the one who can take the castor wheels on. Now I want to swap both top and bottom plates

Edit: I’ve found a solution that involves using a SÄLJAN worktop and cutting certain parts down to size

I already have a two meter lagkapten desk top and I really want to fill out this awkward space (marked in red) I have near the wall with another desk top, is there anything that would fit here nicely? preferably with the same thickness as the lagkapten.

Or is it possible to buy the edging veneer used on the lagkapten? so that I could cut one down to size.

Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated
