Yes, the Ikea version that looks almost identical uses the two metal support rods. They are quite heavily varnished so so you might not get a reading if the multimeter probes are just touched on.

Atfer all. steel rules and paper clips etc in various guises are in common use on a typical work desk and what could be the consequences of a short.circuit.
