Complete projects regrets
More thinking out aloud, but does anyone else look back at the projects they’ve done and see all the minor faults and things we could’ve done better? I’ve done a few projects and going through the stage of wanting to start again or at least make some major corrections! Not sure if all in the mind LOL.

Storemolla hack?
Been looking a lot of different places but I have fallen in love with this dresser the only problem is I have never painted IKEA furniture. How easy would this be able to do with cabinet paint? While keeping the pretty drawer fronts? Is it possible to sand the whole thing down and stain it?

Konplement pull out tray doesn't come out fully (and how to fix that??)
I recently installed a komplement pull-out jewelry tray in a closet (not pax but it fits) but realized after installing that it only comes out about 3/4 of the way, making about 1/4 of the tray hidden under the shelf above, so you can't see that space and it makes it unusable.
I looked for hacks online as to how to make the pull-out drawer come out more. I found one person who suggested to maybe remove some of the sliding beads along the rail. Right now there are six beads which make the tray not able to come out as much as it could. So cutting out 3 beads worth could enable more space for the tray to come out a bit more. However, I'm not sure that this would work.
I am also unable to dismantle the actual tray railing to remove any beads. All the metal pieces seem attached in a way that they can't come appart and I haven't been able to find any videos or tutorials as to how to dismantle that sliding rail.
I'm not sure if anyone has encountered this particular problem for the pull out jewelry tray and if maybe there is another way to make it come out more, because right now it is pretty unusable.
I would really appreciate any thoughts and comments that anybody may have, as after looking long and hard, I'm unable to find any hacks on the internet or YouTube.

Kallax and Vinyl
I know folks have been using the Kallax with vinyl for years, ave sen lots of nice setups. I bought a 3x4 Kallax, have not opened it yet. Was looking at some pictures and I noticed something that have given me pause. I want to set this up on it's side so it is 4 wide and 3 high but I noticed the weight will then be on the sides of each cube wall. Those only have wooden dowels really holding them in. Has anyone else every deployed a 3x4 like this and if so did you have problems?

Tired of wobbly desks. Need a stable desk.
Tired of Wobbly desks. Need something stable.
I’ve gone through way too many desks over the past few years. Most recently I’ve been using a FlexiSpot EN1, and the wobble drives me insane
I sit almost all the time and don’t really care about standing. I’m just looking for a very stable fixed-height desk, ideally around 25–27 inches, that doesn’t shake when I write or type. I’m a college student, so higher-end standing desks are out of my budget.
I’m considering the IKEA IDÅSEN (fixed height) but i’m open to other recommendations.

ELVARLI - 606 System Hack Question
As title suggests, I'm interested in trying to get the look and functionality of the 606 system using the Elvarli closet organizer. Unfortunately the ikea made drawers for the Elvarli are no longer sold in US stores.
I've been trying to find a way to add storage, I'm not a wood worker so would need to find pre-fab cabinets to match the dimensions. Based on the measurements on ikea.com an Elvarli shelf is Width: 31 1/2 " Depth: 20 1/8 "
I have found a couple cabinets with equal or slightly smaller dimensions on wayfair, see below:
https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/ebern-designs-buffet-cabinet-with-2-doors-and-drawer-coffee-bar-cabinet-with-adjustable-shelf-modern-kitchen-buffet-sideboard-for-living-room-kitchen-w114996695.html?piid=1396767673
https://www.wayfair.com/organization-storage/pdp/inbox-zero-crandon-4-or-more-drawer-storage-cabinet-w000741783.html?piid=1815833068
Would it look weird to place one a cabinet on a low shelf, assuming that it wouldn't be able to be flush with the floor due to the base of the posts. Would it make sense to attach the cabinet directly to the provided brackets if the size is perfect? Or attach to a shelf on the bracket? Appreciate any advice!

micke corner desk shelf alternatives?
pretty much exactly what the title says. i got an old corner micke desk a few years ago but they wanted to keep the shelf so i dont have it. i was wondering if anyone knew of any corner desk shelves to try instea? it can have a little overhand on either side since im buying the micke drawer thing to go on one side, and the smaller 75cm long micke desk to go next to it on the other. it obviously can also be smaller than neccisary but not too terribly small still. all the corner shelves i see for desks are all really really tiny or just not at all what im looking for. ikea dosent sell the hitch itself separately so i was just wondering if you guys knew what i could use instead?
im also really not sure if this is the right place to post this?? every other ikea subreddit i see seems to be more wrong though

Need some ideas
Hi, have older type of pax closet, attached, measurements:
|Width:|199.6 cm|
|:-|:-|
|Depth:|58.0 cm|
|Height:|236.4 cm|
Already installed moving glass doors.
Would be great to get some inspirations from others, how did you manage to layout everything, as basic ikea designs seems not a match, since lacks shoe space, and since im tall, thinking to have pants in drawer.

Kitchen countertop question
My fiancee and I are buying our first home, I would like to change the "lovely" green countertops. I was looking at the ekbacken laminate from ikea but it does not have a pre-made upstand that matches the counter top. Google said I could in theory cut my own upstand by cutting a sheet of the counter top into strips, but that sounds quite difficult. Does anyone have any advice on if that is even doable or, if not, alternatives to fill the space that will be left between the countertop and tile without the upstand? The tile on the walls goes around the whole kitchen so I dont really want to remove it all to add a new tilebacksplash at this time. Thanks!

Pax side panel
We are trying to make this ikea pax look built in. We have about 9mm on the right side to fit a cover panel so it's flush with the wall. I can get some mdf to go all the way to the ceiling as a fascia for that right side. We are going to build some cupboards for the top. My question is, what do I do about the front edge of the mdf? Will just painting it look ok? I'm a bit worried about how that is going to wear with potential knocks etc. Any tips? Suggestions? Things I haven't considered?
Ceiling height is 280 - Ikea cover panels are max 240
