My new Ikea Organizer

9/14/2018

Something about the smell of Ikea's chipboard furniture reminds me of Christmas.  It must be that it is almost identical to the smell of old cardboard boxes, full of dusty Christmas stuff that have been sitting up in the attic all year.  That or I just had a mini stroke...

Ikea does make some decent furniture (decent, not great), and when I saw the ALEX drawer units, I thought they would be a good base to build a cabinet and shelf organizer.  So this is what I came up with:

This was all done with just one saw cut (for the slide out shelf) and a drill.  I designed some 3D printed brackets to hold the shelves, and some other parts for it, and it seems to be working really well.  I've been able to consolidate much of my small parts and odds and ends into the storage boxes or the drawers which has really helped get the workspace under control.  Due to the design of the brackets, I can even take it down if I need to move it, just undo some bolts, and the shelves will slip out.

Aside from the brackets, these are the parts used:

Two ALEX drawer units:

and several of these KOMPLEMENT shelves (mine measure 28" x 22 1/2" but online they show them as 29 1/2" x 22 7/8"):

I used these handles which have some space to put a paper label card in:
WEICHUAN 16PCS Zinc Alloy 3-1/4 Inch X 1-5/8 Inch Antique Bronze Card Holder Drawer Pull/Label Holders/Label Frames - Vintage Drawer Box Case Cabinet Cupboard Carpenter Repair Decoration Hardware

I don't have the link for the drawer sliders but I got them at Lowes and they measure 22 1/2 inches when closed.

And these are the storage bins I used:

Stanley 25 Compartment box (Mfr #: 014725R)
Stanley 10Compartments box (Mfr #: 014710R)
