Help about drawers in PLATSA open shelves
Hello everyone, i have this kind of metal PLATSA open shelves but higher (120cm high i believe, sorry i didn't find the correct height on their website)
It's in my kitchen, and it works very well, perfect dimensions for my needs, very sturdy, etc.
However! i hate the way things on lower shelf just look... scattered on the ground? And not even easy to access. It's also not very hygienic: i put my rarely used countertop appliances (waffle maker, popcorn machine, whatever) there, and i tend to get dust and cat hair all around and over it. It's like the appliances are stuffed under the furniture, it looks ugly
People online (and employees in the store) always use boxes or baskets to organize that lower shelf, but i recently realized PLATSA is actually an entire clothes storage system with frames and drawers!
Could i adapt the drawers they make for the PLATSA frames? The dimensions should match, but the mechanism to mount the drawer doesn't look natively compatible: has anyone tried or seen something about this topic? Thanks!
Edit for mods: i'm aware i'm not sharing a hack, if it's not allowed to ask for help here, then please update the sidebar to include a sub dedicated to questions

ideas on how to protect bekant desk?
i picked up a gently used right sided bekant desk recently and i’m trying to think of ways to protect the surface from scratches/wear and tear. i’ve wanted one of these desks since the pandemic and it’s perfect for my work from home set up. the finish on it isn’t as durable as some of the other pieces i’ve had. due to the odd shape, i’m not sure what to use.
thanks!

PAX ideas to utilize full ceiling height
I have a "nook" in my utility room that I would like to add two PAX units to emulate a built-in. I would use this for storing hanging clothes, sports equipment, bulk goods, etc. The space is 71" wide, 29" deep and 115" high. The ceiling is crazy high - so even with 93" PAX, I have quite a bit of room. I would like to add something below the PAX units for additional storage, especially if I can get something that can accommodate larger items like gym bags and bulk shopping items. Drawers or baskets if I can't find a way to do drawers. Any ideas of what could be used for this or how you would plan it if this was yours?
My plan was to do a 39" and a 29" pax next to each other, add whatever filler I need to make it look built in, but to have these on top of another structure and then trim to the ceiling. I don't want to add cabinets on top of PAX as they're far less accessible. Thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Adding hairpin legs to Moppe
I want to add hairpin legs to a Moppe to make a small cabinet. But the supplied screws are too long for the depth of the base. Any suggestions?
I thought about superglue. Or wood glue plus very short screws. Nothing very heavy will go in the drawers and I have the option of fixing it to the wall it will stand against.

Which hinge for Ikea Pax bottom drawer hack?
Which hinge can I use to install a wooden drawer to the bottom of Ikea Pax?
Can I use Ikea Utrusta (805.248.82) hinges?
Or do I have to use Hettich ET 582-72134 hinges?
Do I have to use same hinge for all? Can I swap only the bottom hinges?

Modify Enkoping shaker cabinet doors
Has anyone tried to modify one of these doors to add a glass panel in the center? I’m trying to put together a kitchen cabinet and want the glass paneling but need it to fit a 24x40 cabinet and they don’t make the 12x40 doors with glass. I know it’s fiberboard core so a bit nervous about trying to do it

Ikea furniture - updates on paint?
Hey everyone! Thank you for all of your tips and tricks on painting Ikea furniture. I am thinking about building a besta cabinet for my records, adding some round legs, and topping it with a marble slab. I have seen some really great tips on painting the laminate, but I'm very scared about the time it takes and then it chipping. For those of you that have painted laminate Ikea furniture before, how is your furniture holding up?

Nammaro armchair backrest cushion
I have 2 Nammaro armchairs (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/naemmaroe-armchair-outdoor-light-brown-stained-froesoen-duvholmen-beige-s29610265/#content) and I find the back to be both too hard, and slightly too far from the front of the chair.
I've tried using the seat cushion as a back cushion, which works but looks a little silly.
Has anyone found a cushion that fits this size well? (IKEA or otherwise)? None of the other outdoor cushions are an obvious match for the size.
Thanks!

Forgot to account for skirting board
So I built the frame for the IKEA BRIMNES 4 drawer wardrobe for the closet, but I didn't account for the skirting board causing an issue pulling out the bottom drawer (the top drawer barely pulls out all the way so long as I nudge it to the side slightly).
The wardrobe dimensions are 78 cm wide, 46 cm deep, and 124 cm high, but I really only care about the base, which is 78 cm x 46 cm. The skirting board goes up to 11 cm. I was thinking of getting a base that is slightly wider/deeper than the wardrobe, and around 12 \~ 13 cm tall, but I'm not sure where I can buy something like that. I cannot build it myself unfortunately as I have 0 expertise in that field.
Ideally, I'd like something that could double up as some kind of separate storage space itself, but making sure that it's safe and secure is the most important part. Because the closet wall is opposite to a bathroom wall, I cannot drill and secure the wardrobe as safely as I want when elevated, so a firm base would be ideal. It wouldn't contain anything too heavy, just clothes, but enough clothes will get heavy enough :' )
Sorry for the trouble and thanks to anyone with any suggestions to a solution to this problem!
