Most people can't make cabinets from scratch so why are you lazy keyboard warriors saying she should have just made them custom? She took an existing piece of furniture and updated it. Have you never watched a DIY video? Jesus. Don't listen to all the people complaining. This is a great DIY for anyone interested in getting off their phone.
It can save a lot of time and effort to start with flat packs. You don’t have to design, measure, cut, and source all the raw materials. IKEA provides a good shortcut, usually at a good price. Then you can modify it, if you have the tools and skills.
Absolutely and also wood is expensive right now still over priced. These are already made. They have the design feature inside that she needed for what she was looking for so it was actually ingenuity and industriousness.
They aren’t saying it doesn’t look good they are just saying for them personally it looks difficult instead of a hack. That’s praising her skills in my opinion because it’s true not everyone has the tools or skills to create what she did. Remember people started going to ikea mostly for easy/ renter friendly decor. They aren’t cursing her out or insulting so leaving simple opinions like that isn’t a big deal and doesn’t make them lazy.
Would take you a few hours if you didn’t paint it. Also don’t have to apply the same level of detail. Stop complaining about people sharing information and admit you’re lazy and don’t want to learn
This ain’t a “hack”. Hacks are quick and circumvent a typical process of doing something in a more quickly fashion. This is an entire project. Shoulda named this a how to.
1. I love the color combination 🤩 2. I love the old handles you added 3. I love your enthusiasm and hard work 4. I think it looks BEAUTIFUL and I wish I had a big enough home for something like this Well done 👍
>What you guys think? Since you asked for an opinion... I think it looks like 3 ikea shoes cabinets side by side with a reclaimed piece of wood on top.
The middle slot that creates 2 separate levels for your shoes can be left out to make it wider. It doesn't really have space for boots but it helps for bigger shoes.
My heart used to skip a beat when I would see these kids paint nice, previously stained furniture, and there certainly are pieces that I still think would be a travesty to paint, however, the painted look has grown on me a bit, and it is surprising how a nicely painted piece of furniture can freshen things up a bit. Since she attached this to the wall, and essentially reinforced this Ikea furniture with all the extra pieces, it's not going anywhere, but if I were to put forth the effort she did, I don't think I'd want the structure itself to be cheap, low grade particle board like this. I think I would rather take on old, higher quality piece from Goodwill or a yard sale and refurbish it and build it in.
@@jeffcarroll6553 there is no joinery. Lol. Pocket hole screw will do the trick and it’s fast. She did the most labor intensive work already. Those trim and table top are most time consuming. It was just few pieces of plywood away from total custom, you see she even had to cut into the side panels to make them fit the base board.
I still think there is a lot of less work - for example the mechanism for the opening the compounds, the overall building of the furniture itself. I am terrible at measuring correctly, so I couldn't build the ground pieces from Ikea, while I could paint it and do that little bit of wood work.
@@Staronat I agree. The mechanisms look way to complicated for my skill set. Not to say I wouldn't want it custom but this looks like some I could do. Plus the satisfaction of the end result is nice
@@a_little_green True-ish. Most cabinet makers are going to want to make things out of hardwood or at least good quality ply. But if you asked for chipboard and melamine like IKEA stuff it wouldn't be all that expensive. Of course I doubt many would agree to do something like that, there's a reason IKEA furniture is falling apart after a few years
Pretty nice work! Start to finish it appears that you went through lots of effort to do a detailed, creative job. I can't help but wonder, however, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to transform cheap Ikea furniture into something like this, how much more time, effort, and money it would have taken to just make them from scratch.
Significantly more time and effort. Also, probably tools and skills she doesn't have. She used a few handheld tools and did very basic carpentry. Building these from scratch would require way more.
@@biggregg5 It probably depends on what your definition of "made from scratch" is. You cannot make this kind of shoe cabinet completely out of raw material in a comparable amount of time
Great work 👍 good use of basic IKEA cabinets. Shows what you can do with some imagination and a flair for carpentry and painting. Hack or not a hack, regardless it looks damn good. 10/10
This "Ikea Hack" costs over $400 dollars and requires not only expensive tools but also moderate carpentry skill. This isn't a hack anymore, you just built a storage wall with pieces from IKEA.
each unit was £30 from ikea. i had 3 of them. that’s £90. the 2 scaffolding boards cost me £40 and the rest of the stuff i already had. so those were my cost, although it may differ for others.
Love this! Definitely a doable hack for me! For those that don’t have the tools to cut wood/mdf, you could always ask Home Depot to cut your board/trim to size and you can sand the wood by hand (following the grain). If you don’t have clamps, you can always glue them and lay it on their side, so gravity can do the work, if you have some assistance placing them safely.
Well let’s be clear for her, I think a lot of women aren’t taught anything about this. So, an electric screwdriver, a jigsaw to cut shapes (for example to cut out where the unit meets the wall and baseboard), you could use again either the jigsaw to cut the length of wood, or if you’re up for it, a circular saw (use a jig to cut straight), and what else…a sander. I have to rewatch it, to see if I missed anything. These tools can all be bought on sale and are not out of most people’s reach. Father’s Day is coming up, and Christmas and Boxing Day are good sale times.
Great result... BUT: I have had one of these shoe storage from IKEA and it broke after 2 month 😳🙈 I would buy better qualitiy, because it is frustrating to Ruin a Lot of effort and Money in a DIY that won't last very Long 😟
Will somebody explain to these people that a hack is not an “extensive time consuming DIY project”. THE IDEA OF A HACK IS USING SOMETHING IN A WAY THAT IT ISN’T INTENDED, FOR A CONVENIENT PURPOSE.
I feel like with the skill, patience, and dedication displayed here, you'd be better off -- both for the number or views on this video and for the quality of the end product -- doing the whole thing yourself without Ikea involved.
Sometimes it’s faster and cheaper to take a preexisting piece and customize it, especially when you take into consideration this piece comes with the specific hardware needed to open it up this way, and this even has dividers for the shoes inside. I have the same ikea shoe rack, and also built a custom hidden trash car that opens the same way, and the shoe rack took way less time and effort. And when your todo list is as long as most people’s are, it’s nice to sometimes save time and money on a small project, so you have more time and money for the next one!

Yes! Need ones for boots.

oh my God this is so cool. The wooden top adds so much character to the final look. I love it.
Nice bullt but at the end of the day its still made of fiber board which swells when it gets wet.
Are you regularly watering your cabinets?
It's fine unless its stood in water or out in the rain, there are no exposed edges, you know solid timber swells in water too right
Looks fab and very satisfying to do all that. You’ve got a good eye for detail.
absolutely beautiful

It looks awesome, however as a contractor, I would have notched out the trim and laid it flat against the wall 🤷🏽♀️

She's not a contractor. She's just a woman using what she knows, which isn't much but she did it.
@@jcceazer1468Agreed! I know, I was just giving a professional opinion to everyday people whom are interested in doing this to do it "correctly".
