ELLOVEN is easy to want for the drawer and easy to buy for the wrong reason. A monitor already at a comfortable height does not need a platform under it, and adding one to hide the stationery puts the screen higher than you chose. Settle the height first; the drawer is a bonus attached to the right answer, not an excuse for the wrong one.
IKEA Australia sells the white-and-bamboo version under its own article number, 804.747.83, at A$39, the same price as the anthracite and bright orange versions. Before paying for another object under the screen, check whether the monitor's own stand already adjusts in height.
Our verdict
At A$39, a reasonable storage platform when the fixed 10 cm rise and 47 × 26 cm top suit the monitor already on the desk; pass if the screen already sits where you want it.
- A good fit for
- Someone who has measured a need for a 10 cm screen rise and wants a shallow drawer for pens, notes and small cables.
- We would skip it if
- Your screen already sits where you prefer, its foot will not fit a 26 cm-deep top, or two people of different heights share the desk.
Reasons to consider it
- A 45 × 24 cm drawer with compartments keeps small items out of sight
- Space under the drawer to park a keyboard
- A published 20 kg maximum load
The compromises
- One fixed height that cannot be tuned per user
- The drawer needs clearance in front and adds no desk depth
- Once opened, a return gets 60 days and store credit only
What we have not verified: IKEA Australia publishes no stability, drawer-wear or finish-wear data. Its strain-relief claim depends on the screen ending up at the right height, which only a measured desk can confirm, and the page calls the frame steel in one line and white aluminium in another.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
ELLOVEN Monitor Stand with Drawer
Worth A$39 when the fixed platform height matches a screen position you have actually measured for.
Before you buy: Check the monitor's foot against the 47 × 26 cm top, the 20 kg maximum load, drawer clearance and the target height before buying.
Price checked 5 November 2026. Retailer prices can change.Start with the fixed 10 cm
IKEA Australia lists the stand at 47 cm wide, 26 cm deep and 10 cm high, with a maximum load of 20 kg. Nothing on it adjusts: the screen goes up 10 cm and stays there. The load figure does not tell you whether a particular monitor's foot sits fully on a 26 cm-deep top, or whether the new screen position suits you.
IKEA's page says a monitor at the right height relieves strain on the neck and shoulders. That claim hangs on the word right, and this platform offers one height. Measure the monitor's foot and where the top of the screen sits now before buying. On a desk shared by two people of different heights, an adjustable arm can serve both and a fixed riser cannot.
Choose the drawer's contents before the drawer
The drawer measures 45 by 24 cm inside, with compartments IKEA suggests for pens, notepads and USB sticks. That is a shallow tray for small things, not a filing drawer. A footprint alone does not prove an item fits; its thickness, the dividers and the drawer opening count as well.
Lay out what would actually go in it: a pen, a small notebook, two adapters, this week's notes. If that pile already overflows a desk drawer, a shallow tray under the monitor will not shrink it. Keep the space for what you reach for daily and let the archive live somewhere else.
Check access in the working position
IKEA points to two layout features: the gap under the drawer takes a keyboard when it is not in use, and a small opening at the back routes cables. Both help a tidy desk, but you still need room to pull the drawer forward with the keyboard in front of it and to run the monitor cables without strain.
Sketch the platform, the keyboard and the writing area at full size. A drawer that only opens once the keyboard has been moved gets used twice a week, and a stand that pushes the screen further back than you want has charged the main job for the storage.
If the height turns out wrong
IKEA Australia refunds unopened products within 365 days. Once the stand is out of its box and a monitor has been on it, the window is 60 days, the packaging has to come back with it, and the refund is in-store credit on an IKEA Returns Card based on its assessed condition. Measure before opening, then settle the question inside two months.
Buy it for the function, not the tidy photo
ELLOVEN fits one case: a desk that needs exactly this 10 cm rise and a little enclosed storage. Needing only storage opens up every drawer unit and box that does not also set the screen height. Needing only height is usually answered by the monitor's own stand, or by an arm that adjusts.
IKEA's only care note is to wipe it with a damp cloth, and the page publishes nothing on stability or drawer wear. Keep the monitor's foot fully on the platform, stay under 20 kg, and judge it as a modestly priced combination whose fit requirements matter far more than how neat it looks.
