Also attached the Vika Byske leg. Very simple hack but with a striking difference. No need to throw perfect woodwork away!  <br /><br />~ Alice, Sweden

I really like the style of a table I came across at Crate & Barrel.  It was too big for my place, and too expensive at almost a thousand dollars.  I decided that I could make my own adaptation that would fit my budget and space. <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipD21GCZK8x4AMPD-86CgeBu4PXuFt5hCPIjvPPrN7WZRq_lc5XtGRDO6idXV8IXpvcIpLRfOVNOv11aAKNcTo0z34kbEMPekUJX1DqK7SeQ8f52KnZdZtrhAZ8KMS6DRjXS36Y_h40DoC/s1600/Inspiration-797611.jpg"><img alt="Crate & Barrel Inspired JOKKMOKK dining table" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691588000724904434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipD21GCZK8x4AMPD-86CgeBu4PXuFt5hCPIjvPPrN7WZRq_lc5XtGRDO6idXV8IXpvcIpLRfOVNOv11aAKNcTo0z34kbEMPekUJX1DqK7SeQ8f52KnZdZtrhAZ8KMS6DRjXS36Y_h40DoC/s640/Inspiration-797611.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe2WZsbs9Vu3UsbqTKrucqmqVw5OsShAd4E9LNRkXNfykNSWITrvQkdHEze7bhCeGqzl9U3kcCc4bqOu-P_BHtM_94TtFEWAXXbWFqA7X1T6RIObmqdk5uC2JSjuSxwK2aPFoMuRYO3oQ/s1600/Starting+Point-798554.jpg"><img alt="Crate & Barrel Inspired JOKKMOKK dining table" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691588004622305794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe2WZsbs9Vu3UsbqTKrucqmqVw5OsShAd4E9LNRkXNfykNSWITrvQkdHEze7bhCeGqzl9U3kcCc4bqOu-P_BHtM_94TtFEWAXXbWFqA7X1T6RIObmqdk5uC2JSjuSxwK2aPFoMuRYO3oQ/s640/Starting+Point-798554.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I started with a JOKKMOKK table and chairs set sourced from Craigslist for only $60.  I disassembled the table and chairs and sanded everything down to bare pine.  This was the longest part of the hack and took about 6 hours of sanding. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdotlP4s_sCk1HTvyNYCGlfOtxPuhqHfZLPILi0Z_avjhACzXRkiHCgUj7Ay9hhqA4P7xv1pTK4OIRj5RyEsaij6iidheinqHRjuGUgZk_z2Q8W1PP8EN5KgPXV6te9aD1gQWEtVtIiVrH/s1600/Underframe-799190.jpg"><img alt="Crate & Barrel Inspired JOKKMOKK dining table" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691588007446031714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdotlP4s_sCk1HTvyNYCGlfOtxPuhqHfZLPILi0Z_avjhACzXRkiHCgUj7Ay9hhqA4P7xv1pTK4OIRj5RyEsaij6iidheinqHRjuGUgZk_z2Q8W1PP8EN5KgPXV6te9aD1gQWEtVtIiVrH/s640/Underframe-799190.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I then built a new table top using 3/4" plywood with vinyl flooring glued to the top.  The flooring is made to resemble old, rough-cut barn wood, but is much more heat and scratch resistant.  I painted all the pieces a new light gray color, and sealed them with polyurethane.  The new top is mounted to the frame using the same method as the old top. <br /><br />I've received a lot of compliments on the hack and nobody believes me when I tell them it's mainly IKEA furniture!<br /><br />~ Taylor, Atlanta, GA
