Ikea Micke corner desk measurements - can a bed fit under it?

I've been trawling the internet, but I can't find the following measurement for the Micke corner desk (red line in picture). I would be really grateful if someone out there who has one was able to measure the distance between the legs at the back for me!

I'm trying to figure out if we can slide the bottom of a single bed partially under it from behind. I know the total width is 1m, but depending on the width and exact positioning of the feet, I suspect it might still be too tight to fit a 90cm single bed through the gap.

My picture is under review, but I basically would like the width of the gap between the corner post and the metal leg at the back of the desk.

Surely it’s the same measurement at the top of the diagram, showing from the end to the corner post?! 100cm (39 3/8”) Or am I missing something or not understanding and it’s not that simple 😂

Sorry just realised you know it’s 1m, guessing you are trying to work out the post measurement and take that off…..I’ll shut the door on my way out …..

It's 89cm 😐

Thank you very much for the answer @Bert2e , although it's really not the one I wanted! Google and ChatGpt still can't beat mumsnet🙂

At least I can now forget about that idea then, rather than waste more time trying to find a the smallest bed possible...

Glad to help even though it involved a hands and knees treck under DS1's desk!

Yes, I'm sure it wasn't an easy task - thank you so much for doing it!
