IKEA sewing room
-
Tracy McLean Packman on Jun 08, 2014I use Linnmon 120 x 60cm top & Adils legs. I've only used 4 legs as the one on show in the showroom used four, but one day I'll buy an extra one as there's holes in the centre back edge to put an extra leg. I've got it butted up to a corner of the room for extra stability and have my sewing machine & serger permanently on top of it. There's a whole heap of other stuff on top at the moment as the room is long overdue a tidy up and clear out.Helpful Reply

Tracy McLean Packman on Jun 08, 2014I've also got a Billy type bookcase in there, and I'm thinking of replacing with somethin like the new Kallax shelving unit as Ikea sell an amazing range of storage boxes & bins. The Drona collapsable baskets look like an easy to copy design...Helpful Reply

RNC on Jun 08, 2014I used two of the large LACK units to cover most of one wall, then I used two Gerton solid wood tabletops. I used ADILS legs at the end closest to the shelving. To hold up the other end, I used two ALEX units, one with drawers, and one with a door to hold my second sewing machine. It's working out great. You will need to sand the tabletops a bit, as they're slightly rough right out of the box. Excuse the messiness, it's a well used room! :)Helpful Reply

Charlotte Belange on Sep 25, 2014I would look at the kitchen counters lowe's or home depot. I used a 6.5 counter top it can be mounted on a wall or put legs on it 2.5 high and put wheels on it. Or you can have shelf's built for each end don't forget the wheels. Char B YELM, WAHelpful Reply

Kim on Sep 04, 2015I used the Ikea Kallax workstation and the Norden gateleg table. I love the "L" shape work surface. I have recently added the Lekman white boxes to hold my fabric - they fit perfectly in the book shelf cubbies. The gateleg table folds to be only 11" wide - easily movable to access my attic space..Helpful Reply
