Ikea desk that was great for a studio?

I know some people here have it. Ikea used to have a computer desk with shelves. You could also get optional shelves that attached to the poles and they were perfect for monitors.
I can't remember the name of this desk. I've been to Ikea's site and they have one sorta like it, but I can't find anything about the optional shelves. Anyone know?

Hells yeah, it's the Jerker. Best desk ever. I have stood on mine many a time to change lightbulbs, and never even felt it shake. You go, Jerker.

Jerkers were discontinued. I got mine right at the end with a great discount on 4 external rotating shelves.

Jerkers, Us2400s, 'they' always discontinue the best. This should make us think, if 'they' haven't already dscontinued our brains..

nice, I actually saw this desk at a friend's house a wile ago and especially those side-platforms looked brilliant. I've wanted one of those desks ever since but I can't see anything like that on the Ikea site anymore.
The Fredrik desk is supposedly the successor, but that doesn't look like it has those platforms.
I guess Ikea are like Steinberg, always removing features in "updates".

Check Craig's list or ebay.
I bought a used Jerker from a guy who lives near me. It's in great shape and still strong...

I got my Jerker last year from a friend. Mint condition, $100.
I am constantly seeking a second shelf. I serch Ebay all of the time to no avail. I may just end up making one.
Best desk ever for the money.
