Breakfast Bar with lot of storage space


Materials: VIKA AMON, EXPEDIT, CAPITA

Description: Step 1: add wheels to the Expedit unit
Step 2: screw Capitas on Expedit
Step 3: screw Vika Amon with Capitas

Budget: bar + stools (from amazon) $250



Make sure to choose wheels with brakes for obvious reason.

  1. I love this, it looks awesome. I would like to add my two cents though.
    1. it doesn't look like you need the casters due to it's location and it looks a little big to wheel around the space. Cabinet feet might be more practical.
    2. All of the expidit's structure is in its sides. you might want to think about overlaping the casters (or feet) onto the side supports. Also a single support in the dead center might go a long way to prevent bowing from any heavy items you store.

  2. Hey Steven,
    Thank you for the feedbacks!
    1) I have to move it once in a while to clean up the area (dogs eat over there). Plus I make sure the wheels are turned towards the inside, we can't really see them
    2) Good idea, I will add one in the middle!

  4. This looks very good, but I agree with Steven. Wheels should be screwed to bottom and sideparts.
    Think about replacing the baskets with black "fullsize baskets" from ikea to give it a clean look.

    Very nice breakfast table to start the day =)

  8. Do you find that the cubby-holes of the Expedit are large enough for small kitchen appliances (stand mixer, slow cooker, etc.)?
