We've been wanting to change our entryway set up for a while and I've recently seen this great idea on my reels, where creators make a bench and storage out of IKEA furnitures. However, I'm concerned about the weight limit of Besta (which seems to be the most popular solutions in these videos). Even the Besta TV unit can only take up to 25 kilos (I'm in NL if that matters), so even with an MDF topper and a 2x4 base to distribute the weight I'm not sure if it will be okay longer term.
Between the different ikea series (besta, platsa, metod, I don't know what else there's out there), what's the best option for this purpose? And are there any suggestions to improve long term stability of this piece?
