IKEA PAX HACK - THE DRAWER TUTORIAL 🙌🏼 my most asked question of this hack has been for the drawers.

You want to measure the width & height of the space from your bottom piece of MDF up to the bottom of the middle shelf. Once you have this number, you want to subtract the allowance you have to leave f...
Detailed step by step 👇🏻 • Cut the sides of the drawer box to size. Make them the same size or 1/2” longer than your drawer slides.
