Smart sewing table with sliding tray for sewing machine

This is my sewing table project. It’s smart because it has a sliding tray that makes it easy to store the sewing machine when I don’t need it. Makes it super easy to store and access the sewing machine.

IKEA Items used:

  • LINNMON table top x 1 at 150 x 75 cm (art. 202.511.39)
  • ALEX storage unit x 2 (art. 601.928.26)
  • RILL casters x 2 packs totalling 8 pieces (art. 966.713.00)
  • KALLAX shelving unit x 1 (art. 202.758.14)
  • UTRUSTA pull out waste sorting tray x 1 (art. 702.461.12)

Other items used:

  • Wood panel x 2 at 36cm x 58 x 3cm
  • Contact glue
  • 4cm screws x 16
  • 1.5cm screws x 32

Instructions for my smart sewing machine:

1. Assemble KALLAX Shelving Unit and place it against the wall.

2. Next, assemble the 2 ALEX storage units but do not install the upper panel and the inside shelves yet. Mount RILL caster wheels under the ALEX units.

3. Then, turn the LINNMON table top upside-down and glue (as shown in the diagram) the two wood panels onto the table top.

4. With the table top still on the ground, screw the two ALEX upper panels to the wood panels. You should avoid screwing the LINNMON table top directly onto the ALEX units because it is honeycomb inside. It won’t hold.

5. After that, attach the ALEX units to the upper panels. Turn the desk right side up.

6. Lastly, mount the inside shelves and place UTRUSTA tray in the right ALEX cabinet.

This sewing table costs 190 euros and I like it that the UTRUSTA tray can hold the sewing machine and slide it into the cabinet when I don’t need it.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
