When it's clean, it's an awesome looking piece and I love having such large drawers. My problem is that it only stays clean for about an hour. Dog hair and dust likes to gather under the glass and it's nearly impossible to get it completely clean. <br /><br />The hack is simple: <br /><br />-Go to your favorite hardware store and pick up a roll of frosted privacy window film and installation kit. This shouldn't run more than $25 even if you get the huge roll. <br /><br />-Clean the backside of the glass really well <br /><br />-Apply the film according to the directions <br /><br />-Enjoy your much cleaner (and in my opinion, better) looking coffee table!<br /><br />~ Devin D, USA

I used a spice bottle and paperclip box to mark out the helicopter pad and landing strip.  The wood was the perfect width to trace for the roads. Remember to leave at least 3 inches around the border so that you can have the train go around the edges. I used painters tape to block it off.

With two Besta bench units, I've been able to build up the TV bench I needed with enough space for all the electronics. These Besta benches are a good basis because they provide a lot of room inside to store big elements. My main problem was that they don't have front doors. This was the first part of the hack. The second part of the hack was to had a metal underframe in order lift the bench a little and give it much more style. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnpvHfk0FWbePOtxZMG3xm30K1KR1sOXtX_DiXwnOvQ1YaIYTDg8UAe1EwKnL22cUxdOCXHqZS6hBPP624XUtVn3eKZRRq0ngvurDacM1qyBpe4Jxeuo8WMT0_3l893ahX3FAQjeOzx5s1/s1600/P1020773-550x412-721137.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691953604184787842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnpvHfk0FWbePOtxZMG3xm30K1KR1sOXtX_DiXwnOvQ1YaIYTDg8UAe1EwKnL22cUxdOCXHqZS6hBPP624XUtVn3eKZRRq0ngvurDacM1qyBpe4Jxeuo8WMT0_3l893ahX3FAQjeOzx5s1/s640/P1020773-550x412-721137.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />More pictures and explanations (in French) are <a href="http://www.felinewave.com/wordpress/2011/12/11/meuble-tv-en-mode-ikea-hacking/">available here</a>. <br /><br />~ Romain, Versailles - France

Since we moved in early this year, we just threw a collection of random furniture pieces in the space. After not finding anything that fit the space perfectly with the look we wanted, we decided on hacking some kitchen cabinets for this purpose. We just renovated our kitchen with IKEA cabinets so it was a very easy process.  <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLxNhqOZl2IK0iTfoalDASofdtH2Ojuv5U5FxcxtfBk8GppA5tHLXsSeXlC_VFZrlsfMQfs9bPskv8DFJIS4FXc-sr3IAJnjH4SA0nrNjnCg8IPciBrOIMNa2C2Vq1WxT6ZIjGILuceEZh/s1600/IKEACustomBar3-718150.jpg"><img alt="Custom bar from IKEA kitchen cabinets" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691726387712988578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLxNhqOZl2IK0iTfoalDASofdtH2Ojuv5U5FxcxtfBk8GppA5tHLXsSeXlC_VFZrlsfMQfs9bPskv8DFJIS4FXc-sr3IAJnjH4SA0nrNjnCg8IPciBrOIMNa2C2Vq1WxT6ZIjGILuceEZh/s640/IKEACustomBar3-718150.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdNrnxJdrdeTyBIZ5Uwv3M1JjHy8lJr4pCcal41jUjxlhIG5pJb3ITYLNYKVi93_14qAfPZjjkW592NFsfz1fwth_R21yZ4pNT2bEfmcPQDqMkh0ri5yPRlJ3GUa2g3nz9QAifAYlw6aF/s1600/IKEACustomBar4FINAL-716097.jpg"><img alt="Custom bar from IKEA kitchen cabinets" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691726380917330850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdNrnxJdrdeTyBIZ5Uwv3M1JjHy8lJr4pCcal41jUjxlhIG5pJb3ITYLNYKVi93_14qAfPZjjkW592NFsfz1fwth_R21yZ4pNT2bEfmcPQDqMkh0ri5yPRlJ3GUa2g3nz9QAifAYlw6aF/s640/IKEACustomBar4FINAL-716097.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />We used the PERFEKT ABSTRAKT hanging wall cabinets for this bar/buffet piece. The railing system is so easy to use. Once that was on and level in the space at the height we wanted we put together our cabinets and hung them on the railing.  <br /><br />We went to the nice lumberyard in town and picked up some mahogany plywood. They have a great selection of wood in plywood form, which is always a great thing for projects like this. It ends up being much cheaper than other alternatives and the finish is great. We came home with the full plywood sheet cut down to size. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FX9Qa1dppIMJsSo-tb4bd7ZWouukwfXdRyjzAAwqntI6ckIpgB36Cd9PBkU_dx7J3iahlyOEC7bODh-K4Frca5D8ZuGUolIZ2Yo40UKfhJcnvc0bY8MiQqrb_Ie2LqQfxDK9ZtfWgUnX/s1600/IKEACustomBar6FINAL-716858.jpg"><img alt="Custom bar from IKEA kitchen cabinets" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691726380799626210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FX9Qa1dppIMJsSo-tb4bd7ZWouukwfXdRyjzAAwqntI6ckIpgB36Cd9PBkU_dx7J3iahlyOEC7bODh-K4Frca5D8ZuGUolIZ2Yo40UKfhJcnvc0bY8MiQqrb_Ie2LqQfxDK9ZtfWgUnX/s640/IKEACustomBar6FINAL-716858.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />We wanted a thicker top than the standard size of this plywood. Thicker pieces are more expensive so to save some cash, we glued down two pieces together. And weighed it down with all sorts of other stuff to make sure the seal with tight and we managed to keep it from warping. <br /><br />After a good sanding, we stained the top with a dark stain that matches our floors throughout the house. We used tung oil to seal the surface instead of a poly. We have used this on other custom furniture pieces in our house and love the finish.  <br /><br />We added a little IKEA hardware as a finishing touch and there you have it. Our very own custom dry bar made from hanging wall cabinets. I really love how it cleans up the space. It will also be great to use as a buffet when we host dinner parties too.  <br /><br />See more of the <a href="http://directionsnotincluded.blogspot.com/2011/11/ikea-hack-custom-bar-final-reveal.html">custom bar</a>. <br /><br />~ Anna, United States
