    My husband made shelves in our closets with these types of shelves. I found a warehouse that was selling these for 10 bucks new in the box, We purchased 6 of them and Taaa daaaa built in shelves in my walk in closet and all our other closets 😊 We topped it off with some trim pieces we have and they look like they came in the house this way ❤

      The engeneering of cubes as well as adding any supports of wood change your tensile strength.

      I came here to say that too. Been there for my preschoolers. I thought it would be fine cause they’re so little, nope! Lasted about two weeks started to bend and weaken. Just not made for sitting. Although the reinforced thick wooded ones might hold up nicely.

      Yeah they don't make it long, especially if you forget then have birthday party and theirs about 10, seven years old and they believe they are frogger in hoping, jumping, WWE takedowns. Best bet is old changing tables good to break down make a seat bench, you can also use the crib mattress believeme they are the best whether you have a old one or a friend getting rid of one. Take a old wore out sheets, older favorite blankets can be cut down, cloth hot glue, cloth tape, sewing machine or hand stich. You always want to be able to pull cloth off to wash, I use them easy stich on velcro for on and off. Older dressers are good, you can use the drawers for something else, can't go wrong finding older pieces at curbside, you can make anything from Lego table to a outside bench seat.
      Just my opinion, I'm a wood collector though anytime someone has good dresser, shelves, wood doors at the curb or they going to toss out I stock pile in our old barn😂😂 what's best is when someone pulls out cabinets whether whole or pieces if it's older cupboards they are always sold wood, old farmhouses are the best. They work for hubby's car garage with the hoist, from tools to everything else. Anything whether metal shelves or cupboards, anything with wheels is worth taking the time to take them of and have a drawers full of them.

    I have many of these sawdust storage shelves that saved me when I moved into 1/3 of the space I used to live in. They were quick, simple, and absorbed almost all of my work and kitchen things. The stacks of cardboard moving boxes were out of the middle of my living room. Now, for reuse, recycle and repurpose. Thank you

    The 2nd idea with the Ikea rug and covering one side of the green box was ridiculous. Linen look boxes are available everywhere these days for well under $5. What a waste of time and money - not only that it looked trashy too.

    It seems an awful lot of hardwork.
    I'd just go to a furniture thrift shop.
    By the time youve paid out for the cubes, power tool, extra pieces of wood and varnish you may as well purchase a solid second hand piece and polish it.
    But I guess if you love mdf storage, and have plenty of time n money to spare, go right ahead!

      I'm glad that you are a builder,I on the other hand am not. Adding stuff is easier than building from scratch. Then I have to buy a bunch of tools. What you say is cheaper most certainly is not for everyone.

    • @kewlztertc5386
      @kewlztertc5386 Месяц назад +27

      @cynthiacrawford1573 I'm talking about the video. Most of these examples show people using tools many people don't have, and raw supplies.
      My point is, if you're going to cut and build something using tools, and boards as depicted in this video, you might as well build everything using quality wood instead of cheap partical board prefabricated junk.

    There are a lot of things you can turn them into, howe ver, whatever you choose as your post purchase addition should be used to shore up the original cubes, which TEND to be flimsy. Wall shelves? I like! The bar cart idea; yes a good example of your improvement also making the project stronger.

      The mattress can pull air through the sides every time someone gets off of it. It is compressed when people sit or lie on it. And it gets fresh air all the time on all sides and the top. It won't mold.

    • @Mokiefraggle
      @Mokiefraggle 17 дней назад

      You have to be really careful with spray paint and plastic...some types of spray paint have additive that actually can start to eat into the plastic, while others will just slough right off with basic, regular use levels of contact. There's specific ones that are made for plastics, but it's hard to say if it would stand up to the lid being frequently handled.

    For all the time and money spent trying to make the Walmart / closet maid shelves into new items one would have been better off buying ikea that came as the actual ready made piece of furniture needed. I found it obvious this video was made to imitate ikea kallax “hacks”. I agree with many other commenters, goodwill, yard sales, thrift stores much better places to buy real wood furniture that can be modified to make a quality new piece of furniture. Plywood and building supplies are very expensive now.

      If it's a rental, they probably can't/don't want to put a wall-mount in. It's much less work to cover up the small holes the wall anchors will put in, rather than all the potential damage a wall-mount TV might cause if something were to go wrong/if they mess up.
