Congrats, you have been needlessly critical seemingly just for your own validation and you have contributed nothing except negativity. Here's a thought, instead of getting your dopamine hits being mean while hiding behind your own insecurities, try being kind. it cost nothing.
nearly every diy TH-camr cuts so many corners or doesn't actually know how to do things the right way the first time. I was pleasantly surprised by your knowledge of building the frame and finishing and fixing issues like the door hinges. so good and so professional looking. can't wait to see more!
@@olivegreyavenue yes! I didn't mean to hate on other diy-ers, but you guys are just on another level. been binging your videos! new favorite channel for sure!
I was looking for a diy window seat build and the first video I found was a professional carpenter. Then I stumbled upon this video. This is much more my speed! And you have a kid running around you the entire video. I will be making this. Thank you!
Nice job. You made an attractive and functional window seat at an affordable price and without a big workshop filled with expensive tools. It’s refreshing to see a project like this
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm attempting this right now in my own home with the EKET cabinets (4 with drawers under the window, and two cabinets in the corner with 4 open for bookshelves above. It's a former kitchen window so it's up high, but this should give some coziness to the converted room that it lacks now.
This is so helpful, thank you! I’ve been dreaming up ways to turn IKEA products into something like this and your video was the final push I needed and will be going back to throughout my process!! So good thanks!
Cant believe how great urs turned out. Unlike the DIY one of the Sorry Girls did for a similar bench, this was done properly and well thought out too. Bravo.
Thats amazing! I cant believe you did that by yourself! This is what I want to build in my house… so will be watching this vid over and over and over again for help! Thank you
You KILLED IT!! I love love love this! I’m converting a school bus into an RV and will definitely be using your method. Oh…you don’t think it’s strong?? Yeah right. They sure look strong based on how you constructed it. YOU GO GIRL! Thanks
Not just strong it is very strong because you can cleary see it is supported by the 2 x 3 lumber he put between the boxes, so watever you will do in it even jumping is ok because the load will not go to the boxes itself but to the lumbers.
Really well thought-out, nicely done, and explained. Thanks for documenting and sharing. A professional looking result, yet no fine cabinetry skills needed.
This was so inspiring! I’ve been wanting a window seat that can also hold my record collection. It’s ridiculously expensive! I’m so impressed and although I have ZERO experience your video made it so easy to see all the steps. Well done! Thank you! Hugs💕✨
Wow. So dope! Lovely. And I love that color.. I also loved how u edited ur video. So many ppl feature themselves talking blah blah blah and then show the project. Voiceover ppl. Voiceover! Did I say so dope.
Very nice! Do you have a finished video with the trim above? I have a corner in my mudroom and I'm trying think of removing the trim but wanted to see what you came up with. This video solves 90% of my problems. Thank you!
Great work but where did you get that seat? And how did you get it in your required size? Did you cut the foam as required or you got seat made? Please suggest.
This looks so good, for anyone thinking of doing this I would recommend screwing the framing to studs if you want to keep it permanently and I would also use a rubber hammer on the window frame. just some extra advice, this looks excellent though.
Oh I’m sorry that wasn’t clear! It is screwed into studs, I just also had to go through the baseboards since I didn’t remove those. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Since you are not really sitting on the Besta units, do you think it would be possible to turn them so that the open part is on the top so that you can access storage from the top? You could place some hinges on the top board. Or would the structure be too weak?
Great Video. I am trying to find the Besta Boxes and all I see are drawer boxes with 3 sides. Is it called a Besta CUBE? Or what is it called? I am trying to find the cube things that you first installed. Maybe they don't have them any more? Thanks if you can post an Ikea link. That would be great. It is such a wonderful job. Way to go!
Thanks so much for the video. I wish there was more footage of the finished product though. I just wanted a better look. Is it posted somewhere else? pls and thnx!!
I didn’t show a ton of it because I was still working on finishing it with different Projects like the desk, here is the reveal of the office that shows more! th-cam.com/video/HyZQL3qfGCU/w-d-xo.html
Such an awesome job you did. I am a little confused on the drawer front. How were the drawer faces attached? How did the circular holes come into play on the drawer?
The drawer fronts are used for multiple ikea systems so you don’t use the large holes for the way I did it. I bought the drawer bodies from ikea and they attach according to those instructions!
suggestion can u speed the video even more so the pain that it is watching it will be over sooon!!!
I have a better idea. You’re free to not watch it ✌️

You absolutely nailed this build. You created inset cabinetry at a fraction of the cost. Exceptional attention to detail on that seat. Nice work!!

Wow🏆 I'm impressed with All you did here, & I cant get over how clean your work is; you skipped nothing, AND no Mess, no Paint smears👍
Thank you! I loved building this!
U r such a good woodworker I feel like u didn't even need the Ikea cabinets.
Thanks so much! I am going to be making a tv console cabinet soon!
We said the same, could have bought the drawer hardware by itself!
You have done an amazing job fast forwarded at the right times and provided descriptions that are very useful. Well done you.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks so natural like it was one product from the beginning. Good work!
That was my goal 😊 thank you!

Thank you for this. One of the best How Tos I've seen. Thanks for being so detailed with every step, tools and materials. Exactly what I was after!
Omg I'm so glad it was so helpful! Thanks for watching!
Yes the mention of the exact tools used came in clutch! Thank you!!
I like that you made it so that it's not reliant on the besta supporting your weight. Welldone
Thank you!
You did a great job! I was impressed throughout the build. You didn’t cut any corners.
Thanks!

Agreed! I wanted to see more beauty shots!
Cant believe how great urs turned out. Unlike the DIY one of the Sorry Girls did for a similar bench, this was done properly and well thought out too. Bravo.
Ah thank you so much!
The window seat is one of the many pieces of furniture that I must have. And I'm lucky enough that I found your video.
I’m glad you found it too!
Impressive!!! This looks good and you can definitely sit on it. Heck you can dance on it.
Oh yeah! It’s super sturdy, dancing has maybe definitely happened 😌
Looks phenomenal. Thank you! Not brave enough to try it yet but I'm taking notes.
Greatings from Germany. I was searching yt for Ikea Besta content and found your video. Very nicley done!!! Thx for sharing!
Wow this turned out great, and your DIY skills are just fantastic!!!
Ah thank you!
Love it. The colour is gorgeous and I love how built in it looks.
Thats amazing! I cant believe you did that by yourself! This is what I want to build in my house… so will be watching this vid over and over and over again for help! Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed! It was a lot of fun!
Awesomeeee, looks doable, this is such a great idea. Can't wait to start on mine. Easiest one to follow I've seen so far.
Very nice result and great skills to role model for your kids 🙌
WOW! You are accomplished in carpentry!!
Oh thank you! 😊
You KILLED IT!! I love love love this! I’m converting a school bus into an RV and will definitely be using your method. Oh…you don’t think it’s strong?? Yeah right. They sure look strong based on how you constructed it. YOU GO GIRL! Thanks

It does look strong. But it is too heavy for RV construction. Weight is a big consideration when building an RV.
Amazing! I love the amount of detail and explanation you added for us. Wondering how you made the cushion?
Wow! That’s beautiful! You are so knowledgeable and talented! Well done!
Aw thank you so much!
O, That was so good. Great attention to detail.
Mammamiaaaaaaa….
No quisiera hacer un concurso de adornos o de arreglar un mueble con ella

That’s great! In no time you’ll be building stuff like this!

Wow that you so much!
Great job! Looking to do something similar and this was incredibly helpful
This is a great tutorial, thanks for sharing! Just what I was looking for x
Great work but where did you get that seat? And how did you get it in your required size? Did you cut the foam as required or you got seat made? Please suggest.
I made it! I have a blog post written about how I made it and all the supplies I used! www.olivegreyavenue.com/post/diy-window-seat-cushion-orc-week-7
Thank you for this question and answer. Looks so profesh! I have been struggling to work out how make a seat for the bench we have. Brilliant💡
This looks so good, for anyone thinking of doing this I would recommend screwing the framing to studs if you want to keep it permanently and I would also use a rubber hammer on the window frame. just some extra advice, this looks excellent though.
Oh I’m sorry that wasn’t clear! It is screwed into studs, I just also had to go through the baseboards since I didn’t remove those. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That turned out absolutely amazing
Thank you so much!
Great job!! You’re very talented. 🎉
Thanks so much!
Damn! I built mine from scratch. This is great! You clever sausage!
Thanks!
Wow! I'm really impressed - this looks professional.
Thanks! That was the goal 😊
It is beautiful well done. Pretty colour too 🌿
Thanks so much!

Wow! you are so talented! Truly beautiful woodwork!
Oh that’s so kind, thank you!
Awesome, wish me and my girl were this dedicated
It was fun!
For the framing on the bottom , you say you used 1 by 4s...what does that mean? I am from europe so we use centimeters etc 4:06
Great video and I love the final product.
Thank you so much!
Great video!! Good job! Wow, so nicely done!

I only got confident by trying new things! 😊 good luck to you!
