Here’s everything I used to hang my shelves… A drill with a screw bit, a box of drywall screws (long enough to reach the studs), a level, and some painters tape… Here’s what all the cardboard sandwiched between laminate veneer inside an Ikea Lack shelf looks like….īut see that little bit of fiberboard at the top and bottom? Remember that part for later…. It took a little more work to cut the brackets in half with a hand saw, but eventually it happened. There’s a metal bracket inside every shelf (this holds them to the wall, of course). At 15 bucks each, 2 shelves gave us 4 smaller ones at about 21 1/2 inches, almost too perfect. We bought 43 inch Lack shelves and chop-sawed them in half. How could we fill that awkward space and actually use the shelves to hold all our heavy crap?…I mean, valuable collectables… But the sizes are just so limited AND Ikea neglects to mention is that these shelves only hold about 25 pounds (distributed perfectly evenly) before they sag or fall off the wall completely. We love that the mounting hardware is hidden inside the shelf.
Ikea Lack shelves are extremely popular, so modern and sleek.
Our previous kitchen cabinets were just shy of fitting completely over our washer/dryer. The space left on the side of the upcycled cabinets was about 21 – 23 inches. Take our recent garage update….We started planking the walls in fencing cedar, but more to come on that later …… We change that crap up, Customize, Make it our own…. Our theory is to make sure our home isn’t exactly like a page from some catalogue.
