Are you in search of an aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective option to retailer your comedian e book assortment? As somebody who lately needed to transfer their comedian e book assortment to a bigger room, I perceive your dilemma. I too needed to discover a resolution to retailer my comedian assortment with out breaking the financial institution. On this article, I’ll share my expertise of how I discovered an important storage resolution for my comics.
So as a result of I am working from dwelling lots today I’ve determined to change to a much bigger room however I needed to take my comedian assortment with me.
Now my outdated room had horrible plastic storage kind lock shelving and horrible ripped cardboard lengthy packing containers. Not an important look!
One in all my spouse’s circumstances of me shifting to the bigger room in the home was that I maintain it good and have some good models to host my comedian e book assortment.
With this in thoughts I began researching how I may retailer my comics in an aesthetically pleasing means 🙂
So I checked out issues like Ikea models , sadly I could not discover something deep sufficient to take my lengthy packing containers.
I additionally checked out how I may construct one thing for myself out of MDF after which perhaps paint it, however I simply do not have the instruments and the understand how do do one thing like that though would have been enjoyable to strive!
Then I came upon one thing. Kitchen models!
They’re already painted, simple to assemble and include cabinets and if I needed to place doorways on I may!
I received these from my native B&Q which is only a ironmongery store, here is a hyperlink to what I purchased :
Double Unit
GoodHome Caraway White Base unit, (W)1000mm
Single Unit
GoodHome Caraway White Base unit, (W)500mm
These 2 models solely price me £100 far cheaper than shopping for the MDF and constructing the bases myself!
I wanted to retailer 12 lengthy packing containers so I picked a single unit and a double unit.
I purchased some good black plastic comedian packing containers from BCW to switch my outdated cardboard ones these have been 50cm Size 20cm Width 28cm Peak
Dimensions in inches Size (20inches) Width (8.inches) Peak (11-inches)
I added a cm all sides so the packing containers may very well be pulled out simply and I wasn’t jamming them in.
As soon as I assembled the kitchen models as you may see the comedian packing containers sat good and comfortable inside the unit, however as soon as I put the shelf in there was an issue with the highest of the unit.
There was a again brace on the unit that was hitting the highest of the comedian field and in addition I could not put the backing board of the unit in , however I wasn’t too bothered about that I used to be extra involved concerning the brace.This was stopping the field from sliding all the way in which into the unit. I could not take away the brace because it was integral to the construction of the kitchen base unit.
So i made a decision to make use of a small L brace/bracket to angle the again brace in order that the comedian field may slide properly beneath.
The kitchen models got here with legs however I opted to not put them on I did not wish to fiddle with facia/skirting boards.
With that sorted I may bolt the models collectively and all I wanted was a high , as these models are designed to place a kitchen counter high on them I purchased a chunk of MDF after which requested a carpenter pal to chop and connect the highest to the bottom models. Which he did for the value of some beers !
I did use among the L brackets/braces to strengthen up the cabinets and the unit itself simply so as to add somewhat little bit of stability.However as soon as the models have been bolted collectively and the MDF high was placed on these we’re fairly strong!
I purchased some exhausting carrying furnishings paint to color the highest white , lengthy packing containers loaded and voila !
One good wanting comedian storage unit ! Completely satisfied 🙂
I’ve additionally received a really good workbench on high that I can use for my comedian press and for comedian cleansing and prep.I plan to get some silicone matting to guard the MDF on high and a chopping board.
In case your seeking to construct some comedian storage I’d critically think about kitchen models , they arrive in all styles and sizes and with somewhat know how one can modify them to fit your wants!
