Faktum dresser including laundry basket

IMG_1802

My wife asked me to make her a new dresser.

To help her we went to Ikea and found the Faktum double closet was the best option. We added a wooden top in which I cut a circular hole so the laundry basket could easily be reached.

For our daughter to reach the top of the dresser I made a wooden ladder which also reaches the already installed dresser fixed to the wall behind the new one.

The lid has been routed out and can’t fall into the hole due to a dado cut. The laundry basket is a up side down Ikea stool.
