I really wanted to buy this for a long time, but they don't sell these where I live, so I decided to make one. It turned out great and I really really love it. Plus it was super easy, so you can do it too! I am sorry the tutorial is not very good, it was my first one.
Total cost was aprox 380-400 US dollars
IKEA items I used:
2 x GERSBY, 702.611.31
2 x PLATSA, 503.309.51
2 x FONNES, 403.310.55
plywood for the fold out table, two 2m pine wood for the legs, acrylic white paint, door hinges for the fold out table and a deadbolt to secure it in the closed position.
I know some items are not available in some countries, but you can basically try it even with 4 BILLY bookcases.
Update: Guys, on 24.02.2022 I had to leave my house, because it is located in Kharkiv, Ukraine just 30 km from russian border. My neighborhood is destroyed at this time, so I have no idea if I even have a home now, and I am not able to measure anything. Hopefully, I'll make a new one and with a better tutorial.

@@HelenKukovski Nothing to thank about! It's reality! God gifted you with that and you are my kind of person...you don't throw your money on the window. I wish to do something like that but I can't...not alone...everybody who's crafting will wish you to do that for them and not to spend so much money on dream box. I'm not saying people should not buy that, too. Good for those who can afford...not me! I have a very small craft corner and I don't know how to arrange it to meet my needs.

Awwwwww, love that!! Wish I had a good husband. Construction worker wouldn't even spare me 20 minutes of his expertise, now he's on to his third marriage, but it too will fail. He met me while going through his first divorce. Brought my replacement to my house to spend the night on a day he was supposed to have custody. What a prize. That was a very stressful night, I would never do that to my kids.

Great idea. I didn't have the space so I turned what I already had into storage for my Cricut machines and materials. I used the Billy bookcase with the half glass doors. I put the machines on the top and all the vinyl below. I want to turn one or two of the middle shelves into pullout shelves, so I can leave the machines in there and just slide them out when I need to do projects. I can also install a power bar inside, so that all the devices are plugged in and ready to go.

Hi. This is the best one I have seen! Some of the items are no longer available. The Gersby is the only one available where I am. Is there a certain reason why you used the platsa? And what is the funnes used for? I’m trying to figure out what other pieces I can make work at ikea to go along with the Gersby. Thank you!
@HelenKukovski
@HelenKukovski 2 года назад
Thank you Shemeka! If they don’t have Platsa you can use any other, maybe Metod? Or even Billy, it has to be the same height and width as Gersby. Or you can use 4 Billys for example, they will all be the same that way. I used Fonnes ( the doors) as a front piece for the whole thing, you can actually use any material, like cutout chipboard. It would be cheaper than buying Fonnes. Since I don’t have this workspace anymore, I may do that again with some other items because I really miss it and need one.
