So, I buzzed through my local IKEA today. I was looking for a cheap “Billy bookcase” to hold my expanded book collection.
No luck, but I remembered IKEA used sell solid wood counter tops. So, I check the “as is” section for a cheap wood counter and found this:
Ash, and looked to be solid. Discovered it’s not really solid, but it still meets my work top requirements.
So, marked down from $219 full price to...out the door for $19 + tax.
Marked down because it was not perfect. There was a tiny ding on one corner. We’re talking a teeny-tiny ding.
Now, I need to decide on using either marked down IKEA base cabinets or building a robust base out of some well dried 4 x 4 Douglas Fir.
