IKEA upgrade shelf on stairs.

small upgrade. cut the legs about 6".

IKEA LACK record player stand.

Here it is the Official Mike-is-bored IKEA record stand. this is made of three Lack coffee tables stacked with 3M Scotch Mounting Squares. The top table was found by the trash with a missing leg and the others were from a friend who was moving. Should be pretty easy to score some of these ugly tables if you want to make your own. This LACK stuff pretty much belongs in the trash anyways as the one or two screw ins and you will strip them. The turntable is easily accessible from the missing leg. If the stickers are well attached the area above can support a fair amount of weight.

DIY: Fix IKEA bed slates falling (Aneboda, Malm, sultan)

So having an Ikea bed that the slats fall out of makes you feel like this. But there is an easy fix. Get a big sheet of cardboard and and staple gun (or brads) and attach all of the stales together so that they cannot shift and fall out. comment if you have tried this or have another great way to fix this common problem



IKEA bed with slats stapled to cardboard prevents them from falling.

Just attach them all together and they cannot shift enough to fall through. Push them all they way out first.

I used the box they came in and a staple gun but you could probably use brads if you don't have a staple gun.

(update: 2/3/09 this is still working. they have not fallen through once since I did this.)
