Materials: One 2x4 EXPEDIT, One VIKA AMON 59" Table, 6 of 1.5" L-brackets
Description: The goal for this project was originally to create a new computer desk for the apartment using the "Wall of EXPEDIT" hack. However, after putting the VIKA AMON table on top of the EXPEDIT we figured that the table was just too big for a lonely iMac. Since we have a sunken living room we figured why not just center the table on the EXPEDIT to create a breakfast bar on one side and desk on the other, essentially doubling the usable space. This new bar/desk also makes for easy entertaining when we have visitors.
STEPS:
1) Put the 2x4 EXPEDIT together
2) Mark the center line of the VIKA AMON table
3) Center VIKA AMON table on top of EXPEDIT
4) Place 3 L-Brackets on each side and drill pilot holes
5) Screw and secure the 6 L-Brackets

I will never tire of Expedit hacks, it's my favorite piece.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteNow add some LEKMAN boxes underneath and both sides will be able to have a drawer for paper towels, glasses, cutlery, serial or anything else!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how this hack holds up over time? Looks break!
