Children's furniture with Ikea Trofast

Create this project yourself with sheet material cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl!

Marlies designed this entirely themselves: from cutlist to finish. Get inspired by the materials used below — and then think about how you would tackle it. We make sure the wood is accurate to the millimetre; the rest is up to you.

Description of Marlies

2 Ikea Trofast cabinets were used as the basis for this project. A worktop has been mounted on top to create a nice desk for children in the middle. Children can sit at the desk and there is plenty of storage space available. Our son now enjoys playing there every day, and we are very happy that it looks neat and that we can store everything we want. If only we had done this sooner!

How I made this project

Below we have described the steps, so that you can read which steps were taken.

Step 1: the two Ikea trofast cabinets are assembled according to the manual.
Step 2: the worktop is placed on the furniture. It protrudes slightly at the back so that the top comes flush against the wall and therefore falls over the skirting board.
Step 3: the worktop is secured from the bottom using 8 screws. This also looks great!
