apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ok, that's great... and I imagine you can paint it or finish it to match just about any decor.

Very, very nice cabinet...and if you're wondering about the name, it's a small island in Denmark (where my grandmother was born!) A fantastic place for a vacation.

I'm imagining the whole thing wallpapered...

That would be nice for a kitchen

What does "foiled" fiberboard mean?

I'm glad Ikea is finally starting to pay attention to the design of the feet on their furniture! The base of this thing makes it look like it's from someplace beyond Ikea.

too bad it's so wide...

too bad it's so white...

I like the idea of wallpapering it... but how? Sorry, I've never wallpapered.

It kind of needs to be wide if you want to fit a flatscreen TV inside...right?

Julia, you wouldn't be able to use wallpaper paste, but spray adhesive would probably work quite nicely. Being handy with an Xacto knife is a must, though, due to the curves of the inset handles.

I love the design of this and was looking at in in-store, but it seems very cheaply made, even given that it's IKEA and at this price point, it seemed flimsy compared to even the units surrounding it. The floor model was in a sorry state and it was labeled a new item, so it probably wasn't out on the floor for that long. I wonder how long it would stand up to regular use....

I wonder if that sell that in the Ikeas here in Italy...
I'm also curious why they felt the need to put the hinges on the outside.

The hinges are on the outside because I believe the doors fold out and against the outside of the cabinet so the TV is fully visible...but I am only guessing. Who has seen this in person? Is that how the doors work?
