Check out my site for the full (and very loooong) list of items I used to make this happen: fpawesome.com/2022/11/18/ikea...
Enter BESTAmus PRIME: This is my ridiculously over-engineered Ikea hack to turn Ikea Besta cabinets into a transforming, hidden, flip-down style murphy desk solution that...
- is super minimal and only sticks out less than 10" from wall when closed
- also moves up and down to use as a stand-up desk
- has programmable memory positions for desk height
- plugs into a laptop with only a single USB-C cable that hooks it up to two monitors, a keyboard and mouse AND charges the laptop so you can keep the laptop adapter elsewhere
- has accessible power outlets/USB charging
- can host sick dance parties (thanks to individually addressable LED light strips)
- plays Hedwig's Theme (from Harry Potter) when moving up or down to memory positions, because why not?
And I installed it on a stair landing... it's not code compliant, but we love it! Just have to make sure not to use a chair that can roll...
Split into 3 parts because there's a TON of different steps along the way and it felt like it might be overkill for one video (this "project" was more like multiple projects combined into one).

"Many rectangles later..." :D I am cracking up. I love all of your subtle jokes.
This bloke is probably 50 percent engineer
Maybe in spirit haha
Love the channel name 😃
Thanks 😁. I've embraced my averageness.
Brilliant! Can the desk support your weight if you lean to draw?
It can, but if planning to lean on it for extended periods, I would reinforce the dropdown hinge or redistribute the load even further. My wife has been using the desk without issue for over a year now, but I'll need to make some adjustments/improvements, including a reinforcement--she got one of those behemoth Stanley 40 oz tumblers that makes me a bit uneasy lol.
@@fp_awesome thanks!
