""If you've put three HAVSTA cabinets together and want a wood top, Menards carries one that is the exact right size ... and kiln dried for $35," the creators behind the IKEA Hack & Home Tips Facebook page wrote in a recent post. (In lumber lingo, kiln-dried means the wood has been processed to remove moisture, which makes it stronger, more durable, and less likely to warp.)"
""The Menards board is 8 feet long, and three HAVSTA cabinets combined total 7.96875 feet - almost a perfect fit, so you won't need to do any sawing to create the perfect sideboard. Another option? You could place one HAVSTA cabinet at each end of the board and leave the middle open to create a desk for your home office or crafting space.""
""Searching for IKEA hacks online takes you down a wonderful rabbit hole of ways to create custom furniture using IKEA's bestselling kits, including the KALLAX storage units, BILLY bookshelves, and HAVSTA cabinets - all DIYer favorites. If you have a few HAVSTA DIY projects saved on your virtual to-do list, then you need to keep this other tip in your back pocket for future builds: Menards sells a wooden countertop that fits perfectly - and I mean perfectly - on top of three HAVSTA cabinets.""
Searching for IKEA hacks highlights ways to customize popular kits like KALLAX, BILLY, and HAVSTA. Menards offers an 8-foot kiln-dried wooden board that matches the combined length of three HAVSTA cabinets (7.96875 feet), enabling a wood top without sawing. The kiln-dried board costs about $35 and resists warping because moisture has been removed. The board comes unfinished so it can be stained or painted to match a project. Arranging one cabinet at each end of the board creates an open middle that functions as a desk or crafting workspace.
