    Thank you so much for this detailed diy! I love that many times you said I didn’t have it so I did this instead because I won’t have those things either! I will be using this video as a template for my storage cabinet diy! First step is going to Home Depot and asking them if they make the round holes on the melamine for hinges lol thank you so much for this tutorial!

    Normal wood screws are not adequate for particleboard...use large thread screws.
    Wardrobe is optically pleasing...structurally you will see if the draws hold together ;)

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode  4 роки тому +3

      What I'm using is sold here as possible board screws. As for structural strength, it's 2,5 years since I've built it and nothing have fallen off nor it has shown any signs that it might soon. I think I'll be good.

      Start by figuring out the dimensions and the panels you'll need. From there it's just assembly.

    Wondering what the cost of materials was for this build? In comparison to for example buing the ikea pax ones and building them up

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode  4 місяці тому

      Material price have definately gone up since I built this and for sure it really depends from country to country. I think that I paid something like $200~$250 back then. It should not be more than $300 now.

    Hi just looking for a bit of advice got a load of melamine board from ikea looking to build units for my shed like kitchen base units but when drilling to join pieces together would I need to use a jig or just align them up ?

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode  2 роки тому +1

      If you are using just butt joins, then you can pre-drill the holes and just line them up for screwing.

    What is the material that you use for the back of the furniture?

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode  3 роки тому

      It's a material called HDF (High Density Fiberboard). It can be found under many names, but the most common English name seems to be Masonite. Where I live, we call it, Lesonit.

      Is dependent on location. Where I live, we have a store that works with melamine only and it is really cheap. Try searching around.

      It wasn't free. There is a price added to the board price for cutting and within that they can cut it in as many pieces as you want.

      Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've now updated the links but basically, the BOM will be different for everyone as the idea is to build something that will fit your space. I mostly wanted to showcase the process.

      I don't recall exactly but I think that the total was around $200 or about a third of what would have costed if I bought it from store. Not to mention that you almost never can match the dimensions from something pre made.
