I did a lot of browsing online but found that many units were pretty deep and that’s not what I needed at all. My search was leading me to bookcases that I thought I could turn over but then I came across this baby on a visit to Ikea. There were two problems though…no back and the top 4 openings weren’t wide enough to fit my cable box. But guess what guys, if there wasn’t a problem then this post would be called “I put a piece of Ikea furniture together” and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t care. In order to complete the build and move on to the next step those pieces had to be there so I just used some frog tape to hold them into place while I built the rest of it. The next thing I had to do after it was built was put a backing on it so I went to Home Depot and had a piece of particle board cut to fit the back and I also had them make a hole for me to pull the wires through.
Once it was put back I started to style it a bit but I really wasn’t feeling it. I had a good amount of my spotted fabric left over from this project and I used spray adhesive to adhere it to the backing. The bottom 4 cubbies each have a battery operated string of lights wrapped up and behind the objects.
