Ikea Lack Table Storage Shelves

I was looking for a larger piece of furniture to throw some 3D Printers on and have plenty of storage. Many "lacked" the space I wanted, or were way out of budget. I'd previously built a Lack enclosure, and was extremely happy with the structure once fully braced. It finally clicked, I could go wide with essentially the same idea!

Originally I design this to use all included legs that come with the Lack tables. The thick double leg columns in the middle was something I could not live with. After many iterations, I finally came to the conclusion that this design could support the weight distributed directly where the tabletops would meet with a single leg.

I've had mine built now for over a year, and have absolutely no concern about integrity. This thing is solid! I built mine with sheet metal screws because Lack tables are hollow. This provided a stronger grip in comparison to a wood screw. I may have went overboard adding the optional bracing under the tables, but better safe than sorry! Oh yeah, and did I mention, this thing eats 156 screws… This design can be infinitely wide depending on the space you're trying to fill!

Cost: ~$120

• Ikea Lack Table $15 x6
• #8 x ¾" Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws x150 ~$18
• #14 x ¾" Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws x6 ~$6
  • Used for corner pieces with the predrilled Ikea holes
• Optional: 6" x 3/4" Galvanized Mending Brace x4 ~$12

Printing & Assembly: 

• You will need to print 12 copies of each file
• These files are support free. The Corner file does use bridging.
• Alignment is key. Take your time lining things up and predrilling holes.
• Hand tighten last turns of screws to avoid splitting the printing parts.
