Are these strong enough to use as a headboard? I saw in IKEA that’s one way they suggest using it as. Is it strong enough for someone to lay back as you normally would with a headboard for your bed?
Used a drill.. either with a big drill bit, or hole cutter (that fits to a drill) for larger holes. You can use a file to smooth down the edges.. the plastic is quite easy to work with.
Presumably because anything plugged into the sockets doesn’t have proper airflow & could potentially overheat. We do have a router and phone plugged and & they run relatively cool, but you might start to run into trouble with adapters that run hotter.
A solution would be to use 5-10mm plastic spacers behind the units (like you get with tv-arms), then cut some more ventilation holes on the backside so the warm air can escape. I like your idea and am going to do likewise! 😀
Hi! How did you cut the large rectangular hole in the bottom unit? I’d like to do the same thing, but none of my tools can cut through the plastic :(
I used a drill to cut a pilot hole, then a jigsaw (amzn.to/2LFmkRs) to cut along.. I picked a blade that worked well with plastic. Hope this helps!
Great idea. Looks nice. Thanks.
Thank you!
Looks awesome
Thank you! :)

The plastic for the tray is 2.6mm thick and has a bit of flex to it.. But I think you could lay back on it fine without damaging it.
Thanks a lot for this video
Not a problem :) Are you thinking of having a go doing the same?
Hello how did you put holes in the plastic ?

You should had bought 4 of those!
😁
this is not fire-safe
😔 You're probably right there.. Never occurred to me 😖
Why? (not being a smartass, I honestly don't know)

Ah yes, that would do it. Let me know how you get on 🙂
