Clever! Like your haircut. Love the colors and print of the bedding.
Thanks lot Toni. My hair has actually growing so much since last year that I can tie it up in the back! 😇 As for the bedding, I'm still putting the finishing touch to my own duvet covers so in the meantime, I used my PolaRise throw blanket to avoid showing someone else's bedding (but it's Ikea of course lol)! They'll be launching this summer hopefully! Stay tuned! Thanks again for your interest. 🤗
Sales: how many of these do you want?
Me: one night stand

How much space do you get under the drawer? I have been thinking of making a TV stand using three of these with the bottom drawer removed. But I would need to be able to fit amplifier and other tv accessories under.
Hi there. Here are the measurements for the opening: 25.5 in W x 6 in H. The depth is 11 flush from the front. Now this is for the “front” opening, meaning the space that would be covered by the front panel. You need to know that the drawer is slightly smaller than the finishing front panel. Which means that there’s an extra 1/2 in of space underneath. The front panel is 5/8” thick so the inner depth is closer to 10 3/8” deep if you use the extra height. I had the same issue myself because I inserted a fixture in one of these as a mood light and it was 1/4” too high to slide in. All I had to do is open the upper drawer to make extra height temporarily, insert the light in, and close back the top drawer. Also, don’t forget these units are hung on a rail that is screwed on the wall. I hope it helps. Good luck!
What is the total height with the legs?
About 19" with the 5.5" legs
Are they deep enough for clothes?
Not really. It's for knick-knacks. The inside doesn't go all the way to the back because of the mechanism I guess. Interior space is 24Wx4Hx9D. I hope it helps you! Thanks
So thats why they sell legs in a 2 pack
Ahah good one! 😉
