I’m curious why you’re looking to get ikea furniture to hack if the console table will be pushed against the wall. Are you planing on using drawers/cubbies for storage? For the cost of 98” of even the cheapest shoe cabinets that’s going to be $200+ and still need to be modified. Even with high lumber prices and renting power tools or buying hand tools you could make a sturdier much cheaper console table with 2x6 or 2x8 lumber for no more work than the ikea hack would require.

Living Room & Entryway Tables - IKEA
2 weeks ago - Living room tables and consoles are versatile pieces that can elevate any room. While hall tables are typically narrower to fit snugly against a wall in your entryway, living room tables can be placed beside a sofa or armchair, serving as a handy spot for a lamp or your favorite book.

Couch table for ledge behind couch
Has to be from IKEA? The Lack is narrow but narrow and only 25" high. Best would be 30-32" high.

IKEA Console Table Hack for Just $22! - Hey, Let's Make Stuff
March 9, 2025 - While wandering through IKEA (one of my favorite pastimes!), we walked into the shelving section and I had an idea. We could use a shelf and two table legs to create the illusion of a narrow console table, without the higher cost of an individual piece!

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Question : Good IKEA unit to use as base in DIY consol for behind the sofa ?
February 6, 2024 -

Hello,

I’m browsing ikea basic furniture to use for a DIY project. I don’t seem to find what I need! Do you know if there would be anything good to use for my project ? Can you recommend me any? Or should I go look somewhere else?

I want to build a narrow table / consol to put behind my sofa. So it would be 98” long for 6” to 8” wide. I want it to be higher than my sofa (48-50” high) so my cat can sit on top of it to look out at the window (it’s in a basement). I’ll integrate shelves, and plugs for different items… Anyway, can you think of anything I can use to start from?

Thanks for your help!

IKEA Console Table Hack: 3 Simple DIY projects
February 22, 2023 - The third shelf I used for the sides which I sawed also in the right size keeping it around 19 cm high, keeping the shelf width on one side and matching the other one with the part I sawed off. The shelves were then screwed together. Put three NIPEN legs under and your IKEA console table hack is done. (Alternative leg suggestion is the HILVER.) ~ Alda, Iceland · I needed a narrow and long console table to fit our hallway.
