Thanks. Yes, you're correct, the table and seat are from IKEA. I bought 3 tables (very cheap) one remained intact and the others were cut as necessary to be used as:
1. A base for the seat, after I removed the original seat base (had wheels) and was too high.
2. A side extension to attach the shifter to.
3. An extension to the table to increase it's height ( it was too low).
4. A base to the pedals to tilt them more towards the driver.
I used an electric saw, hammer, and simple nails. Although I think using screws is a better idea, to make things hold better. I also attached a heavy electric transformer to the base of the table towards the back (not visible in the picture). The purpose of the transformer (weight) is to stabilize the table and counter the weight of the steering wheel. To prevent the tilted base of the pedals from sliding, I hammered a number of screws to the bottom of the base, and left maybe 1/2 cm of the nails (head end) out to provide grip (on a carpet of course). No visible damage to the carpet so far.
The setup works very well and doesn't look too ugly (wife friendly) and you can rest your knees on the inner sides of the table too.
Happy racing.
