I have a spare room that I want to put some cabinets in, and I was thinking of using the IKEA AKURUM kitchen cabinet collection with either a frame to set them onto or the matching legs and plinth on the front. I know they are just cheap fiberboard cabinets, but they look nice and should be fine for a room that is mainly for storage and crafts (and the price is sure right!). I plan to line one 11' wall with these and make a desk unit for the other side using the tall kitchen cabinet and AKURUM draw unit. Does anybody have any of these and can tell me what you think of them?

I bought the desk back in like October I believe. It's a great desk, and has enough space for everything.

The desk. Sorry for the tilt, I was playing with Hammy at the same time I was taking the picture.

Just thought I'd share my Mac/Ikea setup.

I hate it when wires show up behind furniture or a nice setup. You might want to hide those wires behind the frame. I must say it looks awesome !
It would be interesting to know how people react when they see it ? :p
