Does this controller fix the design flaw that seems to make this desk break down after few months? The Bekant has an overall 2 out of 5 stars on Ikea's own website. From https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49022538/:

> We have 8 of these desk in our office. At first they were used a lot of standing, the use has lessen some, but the problem is the power source that allows them to go up and down has gone out on 6 of them. Ikea has replaced them, but not sure what will happen when the 365 days warranties expire. I would recommend a standing desk just not this brand.



The 2/5 star rating is a shame to me, because this has not been my experience. The warranty is 10 years, not 1 year. The reviewer is mistaken about that. I've owned a Bekant Standing Desk for 3 years, and used it every day without incident. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a standing desk!



No that’s the PSU block. It broke on 2/3 desks in our office within two years or so. Ikea will replace it if it breaks (10yr warranty as another commenter noted).
