integrated IKEA RAST hack
materials:
IKEA RAST chest x 2
Tools used are:
- level
- Brad nailer
- brush
- Putty knife
- miter saw Extension
After the dried paint I placed two dressers each side of the closet and attached (using long brads ) convenient to the floor of the closet and side walls.
I then attached the square pegs on the exposed side of the dresser, using the tops of drawers as guides. I then measured the distance between the dressers and attached the same 2 "molding on the front exposed ankles.
Then I said lower molding (3 ") to the walls and across the chest. I added back supports (top shelf) at the bottom buffets scrape with 3 "molding. After the brackets have been installed shelves I cut birch plywood scrape. I can (using a saw tab extending) cut the Pax gate width and placed on top. Attach the top and shelves with the gun nail brad.
I then filled in all the holes and seams with wood filler and applied two coats of paint and cabinet hardware.
This is the finished product "built"! the total cost is $ 70 and took a total of 5-6 hours (not including drying time of the paint ).
