How To Install Besta Doors
I have a small downstairs that literally has no storage. So later on the hardwood floor transformation and painting the downstairs in Valspar Bistro White, I was itching to finally upgrade the quondam wine and coffee bar with a floating credenza. Inspired by Sugar & Cloth'south DIY IKEA hack floating credenza.
I teamed up with TaskRabbit for this DIY project. If yous're needing help around the habitation like article of furniture assembly, cleaning, even moving – TaskRabbit is hither to assist! Plus their mobile app is super easy to apply. I searched in the 'Get together IKEA Furniture' section for unlike Taskers, browsed through different profiles, and selected Carley. She had positive reviews and subsequently messaging with her, I learned that she had experience in installing IKEA cabinets.
For $290 of IKEA material toll, 6 hours of labor, and some problem solving, nosotros've installed a 5 unit IKEA Besta cabinet that doubles as a wine and coffee bar!

BEFORE
I had this small bar table that couldn't fit anymore bottles and was overcrowded. In improver, the space to the left of the bar tabular array was wasted space.
Subsequently
i. Assemble BESTA units
Nosotros first assembled the BESTA units with doors, and soft endmost/button-open up hinges. This was the easy part. Took almost thirty minutes to an 60 minutes following the instructions here, and here.
2. Measure out and mark wall
Using the stud-finder, marking an 'x' where wall studs are. Studs are unremarkably placed 16 inches autonomously behind drywall. Also use the stud-finder to search for any live wires. We used the intermission rails to trace a line where it will be mounted. Using the level tool, we checked to make sure that the lines were 180° parallel to the basis. Last thing I desire is slanted cabinets!
three. Drill holes for ballast screws
Drill holes for anchor screws using the drill bit and ability drill. You should feel resistance halfway through if you striking the stud correctly.
4. Attach suspension track to wall
Drill the suspension rail into the wall using the anchor screws and regular screws.
v. Make sure suspension rails are level
Nosotros triple checked to see if the interruption rail were level.
6. Mountain IKEA Besta cabinets
Mount IKEA Besta cabinets using the bolts that came with the installation kit. The cabinets should lay flat against the wall. Readjust and tighten screws equally needed.
vii. Done!
6 hours later on and nosotros finished installing the IKEA Besta cabinets!
8. Organize and store bottles
Time to move and organize all the bottles into the bar. I program on inserting BESTA drinking glass shelves later. My IKEA is out of them until September.
9. Drill hole for java maker cords
To hide the java maker cords, we drilled a two″ hole in the top of the Besta cabinets with a spade bit. The elevation wood piece is hollow and made of a lite paper-thin material so the cut wasn't clean. I'll need to become back with a nail file. We used a utility knife to cutting a rectangle out of the dorsum paper-thin piece.
ten. Wine glass holders
I had these wine glass holders from my old bar table so I removed them and fastened them to the bottom of the Besta chiffonier.
eleven. IKEA Besta Wine Java Bar
Introducing my new wine and java bar! I couldn't be more happy with the new await – lots of storage and the streamlined piece is a nice compliment to my small downstairs. The bluish is actually the protective sticker that came with the IKEA doors but I've been enjoying the pop of color. Comments on if I should remove them?
