How to Upgrade Your IKEA Shelving Unit for $40
Upgrading the plastic drawers of the Kallax bookcase is so simple. Let’s start by changing them to wood ones to give them a more high-end impression.
- The first step is to cut the Plywood into 13″ x 13″ squares. This material you will use later for the drawer fronts for your bookcase, so make sure you have the right amount for it.
- Next, mark the center of each wooden square. To make a precise measurement, you can use a paper guide cut according to a square wood size and make a hole in the middle.
- Drill a hole in the marked part.
- Next, sand, stain the wood, and let it dry for hours.
- After that, apply wood glue to your previous plastic drawer fronts, then stick the wood squares on them.
- And finish by installing drawer pulls in whatever shape you want.
