I love this dupe. My only critique is that I wish the top was a little longer to sit over the side/leg pieces.

[amyokeefe]

Working at a moderately expensive furniture store, I discovered even expensive furniture can be veneer over MDF or pressboard. I usually buy 2nd hand solid wood and refinish now.

[MollyFiddler]

After the "The Sorry Girls" episode it was only fitting for this episode to by a diy dupe! You are the cat's meow (or Kenobi's woof)! 😍👏

[rebeccawolf]

The legs with the glued quarter round - brilliant!! I am so impressed with how this turned out. Nice job. That watered down paint/stain technique worked so well. I am tre' impressed! Mwah!

[juliagoolia]

I like how this series breaks down how much you actually spend. So many of these types of videos don’t cover the fact that, yes it’s cheaper, but you’re not necessarily recreating it for five bucks.

[krysin]

You know what Danie, i just have to say thankyou for including all of the "dork" moments, the blabbering, singing etc, its such a realistic representation of what we girlies go through when doing woodwork :)

[lechatbotte.]

Danie beats Saturday morning cartoons anyday lol. I need my SaturDIY fix. Gets my juices flowing. Weird is my favorite vibe. Oh my gosh I’m dying watching you unbox the dreaded IKEA furniture lol

[brikhouse]

That is such a cute dresser and hack, well done! One thing I'm not a fan of is that the top doesn't extend to cover the top of the rounded legs. But that scalloped edge deff makes up for it lol

[freedomofreligion]

How many watch Danie's videos, tilting our head like Kenobi, back & forth, smiling constantly, laughing out loud, often, and agreeing with a bobbing head?
✋🙋

[GeorgiaGrown]

Screaming " can't you just give me some words, I need words" at ikea instructions....yep been there 🤣

[julieforan]

The Stages of an IKEA Build is too real!!

[Jj]

That scallop is everything. Along with the circular legs. Congratulations on this beautiful hack Danie!😅

[janetboette]

Oh the Ikea drama! It's a roller coaster of emotions! But she's Beautiful!

[ElectricalASMR]

The trap music around 16:00 was definitely not something I expected lol. Looks great!

[doudoud]

You are the queen of hacking ikea furniture Great job !

[nomadine]

That even tone wash looks soo good! What a difference it makes!

[sharonclarke]

Dani you should always blow your own trumpet because you are bloody brilliant 😂😂❤❤

[jemma]

Danie, you have done it again!! I think your dupe is better than the nearly $4000 one. So pretty. You are absolutely amazing. ♥ Just so you know, I don't watch your videos to get ideas or learn how to do all the fabulous stuff you do (because I'm a klutz and pretty useless with tools & I'm okay with that). I watch because you are funny, so very talented and skilled, and enjoyable to watch. I love seeing DIYs and room makeovers and all the stuff you do. It's my TV. So keep on DIYing, darlin'. 😊 And a big hug to Kenobi! 🥰

[giselled.]

Your editor is awesome, as are you! The music adds so much fun and your dance moves are enviable! Your woodworking is fantastic but that goes without saying!

[martimoore]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! This was so satisfying. I especially loved the moment when you added that little piece of quarter round to the leg and the pieces behind the drawer tops-- ALL the details!
