Nordli DIY Top and Base
Light birch top for nordli dresser (cheaper than the top and base and matches my furniture)
The top and base for nordli were out of stock at our ikea, so I decided to make our own. I used a higher grade 3/4" birch plywood and attached it using leftover hardware that came with the drawers. I added an iron on veneer to the edges, and just used a conditioner on the top to keep the unfinished look. I added some adhesive rubber feet instead of making a base. This was my first time attempting anything like this! I swear the tops are level, the floors in our old house are just crazy wonky.

Nordli Confusion
Update: Our local Ikea showed that the correct top & base was in stock, so we went to Ikea to buy it... except it wasn't the correct one, it was the old one. We talked to the customer service person in the store, who agreed it was wrong and didn't understand why they were showing it in stock when it clearly was not. He ended up placing an order for us to have it shipped to our house. Not ideal, as it will take 10 days to arrive and we really want this done right away. Hopefully the one that arrives is the correct one.

I've seen pictures of DIYed tops and bases, but I can't find any instructions/blogs about it. Anyone have any experience doing this? Will it be pretty easy?
