FAQ's
What size is the Table top? The size of the table top I have is 75.5cm - 155cm
Why did you use 2 x 4 Kallax instead of 1 x 8 Kallax? I decieded to go for the 2 x 4 one as I was unsure if I would use them back to back or side by side.

The nice part of Kallax is you can go back and get some drawers if you feel like the cubes aren't working.

I was looking to do my own kitchen island because they are expensive and I came across your video it looks easy I will be making it for my new apartment thank you

[Jae-byhf]

Thank you for an actual budget hack that doesn't require being a certified tradesman! I love how this came out and it looks amazing! Well done you! As someone who lives alone, you have given me inspiration and motivation to keep up the work that I do! I recently had to put up 3 ikea units by myself and it was quite difficult! I think ikea have made their instructions even harder so that we use task rabbit! ugh! anyway, enough babbling! Well done you!

[SKYNETSTUDIO]

Amazing idea ! I will probably build the same in my appartment when I move (soon). Thanks !

Hello Kaitlyn! I was headaching how I will renovate my kitchen in a low budget and BOOM 💥 I saw your video on Tik tok!!! I’m sending you all my love from Greece 🇬🇷 for saving me ❤️ can’t wait to see more ;)

[xFionajslifex]

Kaitlyn this looks so good! I can't wait till we get a bigger house would love a island like this. You should go into interior design for a job! Xx

[mariakerr]

Just wanted to say a quick thank you, as I attempted this over the weekend - I can’t lie, the hardest part for me was lugging that silly box upstairs, as it was not the lightest.

I used the 8-box unit as it was on sale for £50, then purchased the under-frame for £20 [the 4-box under-frame is £15 from memory].

For the tabletop, I managed to find a return Lagkapten top in the re-use section of IKEA for £12.99.

Just need to figure out what I’m doing with the top section, as I used the doors/drawers for the bottom (which aren’t the cheapest).

I kind of like the idea of incorporating some sort of wine rack.

I used one of the bottom cubes to hide away my air-fryer when not in use, giving me some much needed worktop space back.

[maniecronje]

What a great idea, I absolutely ♥it what a great job👍

[Dee-iwup]

Looks great Kaitlyn and you have so much more work space. 👏😊💌💐🐨

[aureliatolentino]

Oh, I loved what you did. I am one fan of diy.

[laurahompus]

Looks great!! I personally would have done the brass legs at least also at the side where you walk between the cooker and the island, but other that that: wonderful idea all over and great result!
