if it won't clamp on, would i be able to comfortably place this on top of the desk without it falling over? how could i do it?

and are the colours the same? pahl looks a little yellow/cream tinted in the picture

i'm looking to get the ikea kjellarne corner desk to extend my work space. problem is, one of the sides is too long. it comes to 130cm, and overlaps where my bedside table is. my bedside table is a cube. and behind the bedside table and partially where the one side of the desk would be is a window, and the window comes down low with a window sill in goes into the wall.

i wanted the corner desk because i like the natural light for makeup and filming content while i face the window. but the other side of the desk would be where i actually do my work and whatnot, so kind of separating my lives.

problem: if i get rid of the bedside table, there's an awkward 27cm gap between my bed and where the desk would end. so not close enough to have my lamp and charging dock/medicine etc on the edge of the desk. the window sill is awkwardly far back from the head of my bed, and the curtain would knock things down. getting a super skinny bedside table seems like it would look a bit funny, and too much furniture

what could i do with the bedside table situation? can't move the bed anywhere else unfortunately
