Hi
I am in the process of building a tv bench like the one you have built here ,and was just wondering what the measurements are for the mdf on the cabinets ?
Love the video 😍

Hi! I am planning to male similar bench for dining (betsa or platsa modules). I was just wondering if it really can hold together after sitting there because ikea says it is only for 20-50kg load? 🤔 or it can be saved by adding top desk?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

We’ve reenforced it with the platform (additional support under the whole thing) and the top desk as well, and we’ve had no problems at all. It doesn’t move or make a sound when we sit down on it. So it should be able to carry more weight if properly reenforced!

Bravissima

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🤍

[@wobbywobbo]

just curious, why did you not decide to use legs instead of the platform, would the legs cause damage to the floor when the bench is sat on?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

No, it’s because the BESTA is really a tv bench and since we’re using it as a place to sit down, we wanted it to be properly supported all over. But also because we wanted a more built in look 😄
