How to Turn and Ikea Chair into a Beside Table

by on Mar 25, 2010

Oh, my, how I do love this project. Kate had the marvelous idea of adding a drawer and a lamp to an Ikea ivar chair. The results are worthy of a round of applause, don’tcha think? To make one of these for ourselves, Kate says to accumulate the following:

  • Ikea ivar chair
  • Ikea trål sconce
  • Ikea snodd knobs (or any knob of your choice)
  • A wood box or crate or old drawer (must be 12″ wide and under 12″ long. Kate used this wood craft box from michael’s)
  • Drill & 3/8″ bit
  • One package of two drawer slides, 10″ long 
  • 1″ wood screws 

The entire cost of the project set Kate back about 51 bucks and took 2-3 hours to complete. To see how she did it, visit this tute over at Design*Sponge.
