Its the same stuff they use in the store bought Lego tables- but at a smaller scale.
They usually come in a green color, although Ive also seen them in grey, blue, red.
Most toy stores carry them.
We bought oursonline on amazon.
There are different sizes of Lego base plates, so just beware.
Trofast Storage bins the extra large size.
At $4 each, its a bargain.
I went to customer service and asked and they were happy enough to provide me some spare parts section.
DIY Lego Table with Storage Tutorial
Build your table as per instructions.
If your building the Ikea Lack coffee table, do not roll out the bottom shelf.
Once the table is built, flip it over on a flat surface.
We will now build the pull out storage bins.
If you dont want the storage bins, then skip to step 3.
Measure the distance your 2 dowels will need to be apart in order for the bin to smoothly slide.
Take your 2 wooden dowels and stick them into their measured positions to the underside of the table.
Let the glue dry as indicated on the bottle.
Note:You might get away with directly gluing the rails straight to the table without screwing them in.
Take your Trofast bins and slide them into the rails you installed.
Your storage bins are now ready to store Lego in.
so that stick the Lego base plates to the table top, you will need some sort of adhesive.
you might grab some tape from your local Dollarstore, thats where I got mine.
Because most Ikea furniture have a laminate coating, paints will chip off very fast.
There is a way to do it, but you will have to sand and prime it first.
And that was way to much work, so I used white tape.
I hope it helps you on your journey to Lego table land!
Until next time….stay Nifty!
