Materials: BESTA cabinets NUMERAR counter tops
Description: It has always bothered me that if you wanted to do a built-in at a custom size you cant use the Besta products which have the best finishes.
After some inspecting of the way the Besta units were put together I figured out that you could hack it so it would look finished and still be able to fit perfect into.
If you cut each end cabinet and hanging track and put the rough ends against the walls you can have a perfect built-in look.
The same can be done with the Numerar counter tops to use as a floating desk.
For full instructions see my full post on my blog.

I kind of like this Blog - but I have to say - there exists a lot of bad hacks and bad pictures of hacks. Not in this case - both are well done.
