>In fact, I am pretty sure you can buy just the Skarsta hand crank mechanism.

i would love this, but a quick google search suggests it's not true.

it comes in two pieces. just go to Ikea and only buy the legs. It might not be possible to order it online that way, but in a physical store it should be no problem.

I bought the crankable legs only, no top.

The guy at the store did warn me that the legs "might not work with a different top" though, whatever that could mean.
