Turn An IKEA Shelving Unit Into A Window Seat

7:00AM November 8, 2009 | Jason Fitzpatrick

If you have a window in need of some accompanying book-friendly furniture, this tutorial will show you how to turn an IKEA bookcase into a sturdy window seat with lots of book storage built in.

Instructables user randofo brought two Gorm shelving units home from IKEA, but one of them was a little crooked. Rather than go through the hassle of taking it back, he made some quick modifications to it and turned it into a sturdy window seat with a bunch of book storage space underneath.

Check out the full tutorial at Instructables for additional information and pictures. Have a furniture hack — IKEA-related or otherwise — to share? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
