According to Ikea, they recently changed their dimensions to suit North
American paper.  That's good news for buyers now.  However, it means
that claims made about fitting Ikea desks are now ambiguous, and I
think the best solution is to contact vendors until I reach someone
that is able to manually measure the product and confirm whether it is
designed to glide on rails separated by 13.25".  Thanks for the
clarification, anyway.
