This is an old hack of mine. I had an EXPEDIT TV shelving unit and wanted some BRANÄS drawers for it. However, for some of the cubbies a door was better suited, so I had to do a small hack. I hacked the rattan doors for the EXPEDIT but it will work for the KALLAX too.
Materials:
- EXPEDIT shelving unit
- BRANÄS baskets
- Piano hinges
Rattan doors for the EXPEDIT cubbies
I dismantled the rear panel from every BRANÄS drawer I bought. Replaced them with a piece of hard cardboard and used the drawer as intended.
I installed the remaining BRANÄS panels directly to the frame of the EXPEDIT TV unit with piano hinges.
This way I had half of the cubes with BRANÄS boxes and half of them with BRANÄS doors.
See my other hack: the RYSSBY PC.
