After trying to find suitable night tables in second hand stores and online, I came across <a href="http://ikeahackers.net/">ikeahackers.net</a>. I was impressed with all the ideas. I went to IKEA and found 4 LACK side tables on sale at $4.99 each. I bought the basic white. <br /><br />The first step was to assemble 2 tables, to serve as the base of the 2 nightstands. <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfluYk4lsXpiJyi_35vYYVXenJHyWCQkPwb6UCaqeb_jlUA3J0lyP2o_DD1Pmd1gqyvq4EgOEX6Aewam0G-on-ZOIAhuo4y0UKHEOw5XcaeofZNIM61mCzxFsywG5PhBqbNZjHDdrzTo/s1600/image-726670.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5877888774409774850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfluYk4lsXpiJyi_35vYYVXenJHyWCQkPwb6UCaqeb_jlUA3J0lyP2o_DD1Pmd1gqyvq4EgOEX6Aewam0G-on-ZOIAhuo4y0UKHEOw5XcaeofZNIM61mCzxFsywG5PhBqbNZjHDdrzTo/s640/image-726670.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtz2YDnbhuuxEYtLB6YOYv2TXAx86hrRiqKeIVcgq-3AR3AoGigWlrDDP7RXsZiloSYyR3BkBVy-rqQZe46HQn6-R2GgqKbkpzhZgSPRi5EH8qsSboHLiXfzb_lEshTg3UBT8cpwgRutA/s1600/image-728111.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5877888783151280914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtz2YDnbhuuxEYtLB6YOYv2TXAx86hrRiqKeIVcgq-3AR3AoGigWlrDDP7RXsZiloSYyR3BkBVy-rqQZe46HQn6-R2GgqKbkpzhZgSPRi5EH8qsSboHLiXfzb_lEshTg3UBT8cpwgRutA/s640/image-728111.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />The second step was to cut down the legs of the second set of tables. Then I assembled the tables. They would serve as the top of the finished tables. I cut them so the overall height of the finished product would be 27". <br /><br />Once I cut the legs, I discovered they were hollow. This was my first IKEA purchase, so I was unfamiliar with their product. No worries. I cut small blocks from a 2"x4" plank, and glued and air nailed them to the corners of the base tables. Then the cut legs would slide over the blocks. I then fastened the legs using the air nailer to the blocks. <br /><br />~ Sue Allen<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net">More hacks on IKEAHackers.net</a></div></content>
