Now here’s the problem – the VIKA ARTUR trestles, while very aesthetically pleasing and ‘drawing-desk-y’, are a pain in the posterior to adjust. Changing the angle of
the table involves loosening the 4 thumb screws that hold the upper section of the trestles in place, popping out the 4 pegs that support it, changing the angle of the table
(on both trestles) and then putting back the pegs and tightening the screws. As you might imagine, I just kept the table angled all the time – and kept replacing my coffee
cups as they fell off one by one.

step 3: Building the trestle support
First he attached two of the brackets, short sides together to form what would become a support for one of the trestle shelves to rotate on. The holes were already there
for a bolt and nut, but since the bolt we used was a little wide and short, he had to widen the hole and countersink it a bit.

step 6: Finishing the support
After that, some strategically placed thick double sided tape was added to make sure the trestle shelves didn’t slide around, and the supports were ready to be put in
place.

step 8: And thats it.
Works great, and my coffee cups are safe from the tyranny of gravity and the whims of friction. Thanks Dad.
