Besta Based Credenza

·April 4, 2014·4 Comments

The base is made of BESTÅ cabinets:
2 * BESTÅ extension unit ($50.00, Width: 47 1/4 “, Depth: 15 3/4 “, Height: 15 “)
1 * BESTÅ extension unit ($35, Width: 23 5/8 “, Depth: 15 3/4 “, Height: 15 “)

Overall 5 cabinets to achieve a linear length of around 10 feet (118” 1/8).
The assembled base has been wrapped with a recycled pine wood enclosure (stained, varnished and polished) made of panels (LOWES).

Doors are 5 * BESTÅ VARA ($5, 23 5/8″ * 15″). Besta doors have been lightly sanded then primed. Pattern has been marked on primed doors then spray painted one color at a time using Valspar spray paint and using low tack masking tape to avoid ruining finish between color applications.

Clever hack for a Home Office in the Living Room

Doors have been finished with urethane (7 coats), wet sanded between applications. Last coat was sprayed to obtain a high gloss dust free finish. Voila!
