With this Ikea makeover, I wanted to go for a very modern look. A friend of mine had recently got married, and they needed a new TV console for their home. The gold hinges and legs were picked to compliment some of the other modern furniture that they already own; I normally like to make my own legs rather than buying a set, but I personally dislike the look of wood that's painted gold.
My main concern going into this project was whether or not I would be able to attach all the hardware onto the piece, given how thin Ikea furniture can be. To account for this, I used drywall anchors before screwing. Fortunately, the anchors were reliably strong, and I had no issues with any hardware being weakly attached.
Hope you enjoy the video :)
