Simple But Effective Occasional Table
Materials: Lack Shelf, Vika Adils Legs
Description: A very simple hack. I didn't like the Malm occasional table (or the $130 price tag) so I built one for $34. I combined the 74" Lack Shelf with 4 Vika Adils legs. I have the low headboard Malm, for the high headboard the Vika Kaj legs would be better.
Freestanding it's not the most stable but behind the headboard its solid as a rock, it is about 1/2" lower than the headboard which provides a nice lip to keep items from falling on your head.

Its pretty good and nice. I would like to install if also had more width. This specified width of headboard in the image is not sufficient. Looking for a width hardboard. And tanks for giving the price over here.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing, but just mounted the shelf to the wall. But I can see how this would be better for renters.
ReplyDeletePerfectconcepts - I have a hack with a wider 'ledge' - based on using another Malm bed (bought second hand), and using the 'foot' part as the 'ledge'. Hope it gets posted sometime soon! It's on my blog too
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. There are wires hanging out all over the place... what's that all about?
