Odd shaped Pantry Shelving? Hejne to the rescue

I was unable to find suitable adjustable wall mounted pantry shelving for my odd shaped space.

I realized the HEJNE shelving could be ‘inverted’, if you will, from outside to inside support.

Basically the posts are fixed to the wall of the pantry. Shelves are adjustable and support is perpendicular to the IKEA plan.

IKEA items used:
  • HEJNE shelving system
Other materials:

Here’s how I made my custom pantry shelving

Before

Measurements for my pantry, which meant shelves would need to be narrower on the inside.

First, I laid the posts where I wanted to fix them. I anchored screw locations in between the shelves and mounted the posts to the walls.

Dowels were installed at shelf locations to support the shelving units.

Next I needed to cut the pantry shelving units to fit my odd shaped space.

To do that I had to cut the planks at an angle. Then, removed the end rails and re-attached to the planks on the end unit.

Delicate work to get the remnant plank from the end rail … I used a chisel to split them and then pull away.

End rail reattached to the planks.

Odd shaped pantry shelves all done.

The last step is to just place the pantry shelving onto the dowels in the side units.

And it’s ready to get filled up.

Not much hacking involved, rather a repurposing of the STUVA system. The STUVA was destined for a kid’s bedroom, but we decided to use it for our kitchen pantry. It gave enough storage space for kitchen items. See more of the kitchen pantry.

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.
