Just click on the link at the top and it will take you to the item on the online catalog. It looks like it's in Office Supplies or whatever they call it in Ikealand, lol.

Needless to say, the insert hasn't made it out of the box and my table top is as solid as ever.
Meanwhile, I've raised my chair to its tallest. My legs dangle a bit, so I've balanced the heel of my foot on one of the chair's wheeled legs and operated my controller from the "thick" back end of the pedal.
After a trip to IKEA this weekend, I found a footrest that is *perfect* for my current sewing set up...and won't break the bank.
It does not slide around, either!

Maybe you'll find it'll help you as well. :)
Now... if I could just get the tabletop cut!

My pedal is embedded in a footrest DH and I built years ago. It's not nearly as attractive as the Ikea one, but it gets the job done and since it hides under the table, I don't worry about it. But this is sure good to know for future reference. And at that price, it's worth the time and aggravation it took to build the one I have! Plus I love that you can easily adjust the tilt on it.
