Since you already have a miter saw, you might as well put the extra effort and cut the ends of the wood at 45deg so the wood grain will flow around the corner. adds a beautiful detail
Thank you for sharing this. You are right most IKEA hacks are usually in a blog with a couple (if that of progress photos). I don’t feel anywhere as intimidated by the thought of building this.
@@Markjonathan Hi Mark. Have you made this unit? My only concern is wouldn't the Sky/Virgin box heat up inside. I suppose you could make holes at the bottom.
@@Sunnyat189 yes I have. I don't have a sky or virgin box but surely they don't give out that much heat? The back of the unit is just then thin board that you get at the back of cupboards, would be very easy to put some holes in that and then the 10mm gap at the back bottom of the unit would let the heat escape. (10mm that comes from the rail and spacers)
how would it "bend"? it's already snug against the wall, it's not going anywhere so long as you use proper loaded weighted drywall anchors, studs even better.
I think you mean that your plasterboard might bend? It's really about understanding your wall, might need to just cut a hole in it and have a look, then cover that hole with the unit. The reason I say that is because my wall was thermite blocks, with a dot and dab plasterboard. For weeks I was worried that the plasterboard wouldn't hold the weight, but I used lots of CoreFix plugs, designed for plasterboard with a cavity behind. They're pricey but hold 100kg per 4 plugs. I used 12.
Not a complaint about the video, I appreciate the work that went into it and putting it out here for us to watch, but isn't this still pretty expensive for what it is?
Thats what I thought too, but than remembered that he mentioned in the beginning that his friend needed a really specific size and a custom thing. So vs a carpenter doing it it should be cheeper.
That's what I thought. If added all together he should have bought a hardwood plywood and cut the pieces needed, a kreg jig and French cleat. Would probably have been cheaper than buying the particleboard Ikea cabinets.
Can someone tell me how you can attach the doors because the pre drilled holes will be on the top and bottom since you are turning the units on their sides. Thanks
HI Neil. It seems METOD wall cabinets no longer exist (although, when they did, the holes were already on the sides, not top and bottom - as you can see in the video). You could likely do this same thing with the SEKTION wall cabinets, which also come with the holes predrilled just as you need them. Look for them in the kitchen wall cabinet area of the IKEA website.
@@ToniAnnBarandon Hi Toni. I've just seen the cabinets again and in the UK they are available. Would love to hear and see anyone who's actually made this!
I assume you figured this out, but just incase....He has trimmed off the length of the worktop 6cm, and then made the end pieces to go over the side of the top worksurface therefore covering the end that has been trimmed... He will have used the smaller worktop for the ends and cut his pieces from each end of the length of worktop giving him the OAK trim on the end which will be seen from the top surface.

Then the edging veneer would be too narrow….?

Thank you for sharing this!
Wow. I've seen TV cabinets similar by a company called tylko and they are over £1000. But this looks so similar. Brilliant idea!! 👏👏
I was looking into getting a tylko!
Good job, gonna try it.
Ideia: coffee table lift off top?
Wow that’s kind of video am looking for.thanks for sharing
Very nice, I also like to space the top and sides about 5mm away to create a shadow line
Wonderful work !
awesome job!
Turned out great!
So glad I found this! : )
I've been thinking about doing this with metod as well! Do you know if you can put drawer inserts into these cupboards?
Could you please tell me what did you get precisely from ikea is it the besta and is it two of them can you also share the dimensions of this
nc video. where did you get the allu handle bar?
Can we install this on a soft wall?
only after looking ath the year this video was posted that TV made sense.
Looks amazing, can you pls link the ikea parts?
Its the Ikea Metod range, They do a METOD 80x40 2 door unit. He used 3, i'm going to use 2 for mine :)
Hey love the idea , could you share what kind of wood you have used for the top and on sides
@@belamehta6423 Ikea do a large range of worktops. to save money you can use their laminate worktops.

Really useful video, thanks for posting
Wow this was great.
Thanks.
Height from the bottom?
Very nice dude.
Are you sure it won't bend?
I started with an idea similar to yours, but I ended up having to put legs below the (BESTA) furniture...

Какая высота от пола???

Thanks for reposting this. Had it saved in my favs forever and the guy went and made it private.
Gorgeous.

Love it👍
Looks really good!
Wow, can't believe you don't have more subscribers (81 at the time of this comment)! This was a great video!
oh I love this !
Is this ikea BESTA ?
What happened to the extra 6cm of the worktop (246) ? Be cause you have 3 cabinets 80cm.. We don't see any gap on side...
I assume you figured this out, but just incase....He has trimmed off the length of the worktop 6cm, and then made the end pieces to go over the side of the top worksurface therefore covering the end that has been trimmed... He will have used the smaller worktop for the ends and cut his pieces from each end of the length of worktop giving him the OAK trim on the end which will be seen from the top surface.
Thank u very much !
Sweet
You mention two rails is needed, but it looks like there are three. Am I wrong? I want to buy it but am unsure how many rails for the wall I need.
The rails are 200 cm long. So he used 2 to get to 240cm for the 3 cabinets
Thankyouuu
