Anyone recommend an IKEA storage bench that can handle adults weight?
Bench with storage using kitchen cabinets
Hemnes storage bench weight/load capacity
Any storage bench type options that can be used as a pantry?
Low metod units are used as benches at ikea at their own displays, I'd recommend enforcing the and adding a wooden plank as a top to distribute the weight of seated people. You can use any utrusta/maximera/exceptionell accessories with them (in the depth that suits the unit of choice)
There is also smastad storage bench, kornsjo units which are more of a hallway unit - when it comes to ready made units (no real DIY-ING required)
More on reddit.comIkea’s website doesn’t list weigh limits, despite advertising as benches to sit on with a cushion seat.
This will be going in the kitchen so ideally a pull out like the Smastad for pots and pans. Alternatively the Besta. Does anyone recommend?
I found this on Pinterest and it lead me to a Danish interior design influencer. From what I could translate it sounds like she used kitchen wall cabinets to create this and added padding to create the bench. Does that sound feasible? I’m wondering if it’s realistic to expect the cabinet to be able to hold someone’s weight while sitting on it
