Install ikea lack shelf
Published 12 Nov 2019
Install Ikea lack shelf without a hassle and in no time at all! You will use the walls in your home efficiently as the shelf holds a lot of things without taking up much room. It is shallow so could occupy both awkward corners and tight space, which is very important if you need extra storage. Thanks to its sleek design, Lack shelf looks good in every room. It's great to display dinnerware or drink-ware in the kitchen, ornaments or photos in the living room or some cute toys in the nursery. It can also hold make-up in the bathroom or serve as a bookshelf and a nightstand in your bedroom. You can either mount the shelf unit horizontally or vertically on the wall but remember about the total load. Ikea's recommendations are: total max. load 25 kg for a horizontal position and the max. load 3 kg per shelf for a vertical one. I have fixed the shelf to the plasterboard but different wall material requires different types of fixing devices so double check what is suitable for the walls in your home. So if you are not sure how to put the Ikea Lack wall shelf unit together or need some help to fix it to the wall watch my video to see how to do it. It will take you no longer than an hour to finish the job. ************************************ Plasterboard Fixings, Zinc Self-Drill Driva Drywall Anchor with Screws: https://amzn.to/3A2GBXP Cavity Wall Anchor Metal M5 x 52mm Plasterboard Drywall Fixing: https://amzn.to/3xMJWYm https://amzn.to/3QKPJGB If you want to check how to install other shelves Ikea offeres, here are the links: LACK floating wall shelf: /watch/gU1yPLJIjDoIy Ikea BURHULT wall shelf: /watch/0cysMIq_vgS_s Ikea Mosslanda display shelf: /watch/89HgdgKPS_aPg ************************************ - If you enjoy my content and like to support me then I’d be so grateful for a virtual „coffee“.
