AN OLD IKEA COFFEE TABLE HACK OF YORE
Every when in a while somebody asks us where we discovered the table in the sunroom as well as it reminds us that we owe you some details.
We really DIYed it a few years back with a $7.99 lack table from Ikea as well as the old tabletop that came with the low-cost thrift store pedestal that we purchased to produce this table in the corner of the extremely exact same space (see exactly how we eliminated the original square tabletop as well as replaced it with a larger round top from Lowe’s best here).

And because that original square tabletop was then up for grabs we chose to put it to great utilize as the new top for our lack table. Of program if you don’t have a thrift store tabletop on hand, you can always purchase a good chunky square piece of wood from the hardware store (and even have it cut to size by them) to produce one. Here’s a view from below so you can inspect out the undercarriage:
We just utilized easy metal L-brackets to connect the lack table to the new top for a chunky game table that we utilize all the time (we sit on the floor pillows as well as play Scrabble). Oh as well as our suggestion right here would be to make sure the screws that you utilize to connect the L-bracket to the tabletop are short sufficient so they won’t poke with the top of the table. That would be bad.
In situation you’re wondering why the top of the lack table is wood-toned while the legs are white, we originally utilized a wood-toned lack table as well as later changed the legs for white ones (we likewise had a white lack table around) when we chose we desired them to match the top instead of having a two-toned look. We were just feeling lazy so we screwed the white legs into the wood-toned lack top because it was already connected with L-brackets to the new larger wood tabletop. We figure nobody however Burger sees the evidence that the lack table was when a different color so it’s fine. So that’s exactly how that bit sunroom game table concerned be. have you men done any type of much more fancy Ikea hacking lately? any type of Target or HomeGoods hacking going on?
Psst- Here’s our most significant Ikea hack to date, in truth it even landed us on ikeahacker.com a while back. We heart that site.
