It is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected but at the same time curious videos of the day: Xiaomi has published a recording in which he teaches how to make your own table with wireless charging from a piece of furniture IKEA. what you are reading So we have thought that now we can better outline the proposal, tell you what exactly you need to carry the bricomania out and, of course, calculate how much it will cost you. Forward.
How to add wireless charging to any table
Although we know that Xiaomi and IKEA signed an agreement A few months ago, the truth is that we did not expect this kind of publication from the Chinese firm. We refer to video that the company has uploaded to the Miaopai social network, in which it shows how easy is to be able to make a table with wireless charging from a conventional four-legged model. A DIY (Do It Yourself / Hazlo tú mismo) in full force, wow, it seems to seek more than anything the wink with the Swedish firm in the face of a (desirable) future collaboration.

And it is that after having seen the products of IKEA with SonosWe all hope that the agreement signed between the Chinese and the European company will also materialize in some type of product that combines the minimalism and attractiveness of the furniture multinational with the technology and good prices of Xiaomi.
Until that happens, however, the proposal we have on the table is how to create your own table with load, for which you will need the following materials:
- Un drill
- Una crown: you must take into account the diameter of the charger (fourth point) and thickness of the table to choose the correct model.
- Una goggles: do not be me brave and use them, go.
- Un wireless charger: the key element. Xiaomi proposes that we use (obviously) its 20W wireless charging pad.
- Una table: from the images, it seems that the furniture used in the video is nothing more than the LINNMON white board from IKEA (150 x 75 cm) with the ADILS legs from IKEA in the same color, although it would be applicable to any table that is not too thick for the connection to work.
- Un screwdriver: for the legs of the table (if it is electric, it is even more comfortable).
With a little patience and skill, it shouldn't take too long to do the following:
Note: the video has been uploaded to our channel for better viewing on the web, but it originally belongs to the Miaopai network.
And how much does all this cost? Assuming that you have a drill, a crown, some glasses at home -seriously, use them- and a screwdriver, the materials to buy are:
- IKEA LINNMON plank: depending on the color you choose, the cost may vary, but the price per unit of the cheapest model (in white) is 27,99 euros.
- ADILS legs: unless you are going to do some unusual assembly, you will need 4. The price per leg is 3 euros (12 euros in total).
- Xiaomi charger: the 20 W charger in the official store costs 39,99 euros (although on Amazon you can find east of occitop for 27,24 euros).
In total, counting on official prices, the materials would cost you $79,98. You can always reduce the matter using, for example, a 10W base (which are cheaper) or even one from a brand other than Xiaomi -here is a selection with some of the best wireless chargers, in case you want to get ideas.
Happy crafting.
