My best BESTA-bookshelf

Materials: BESTA shelves, TOMBO doors, INREDA extra inserts, aluminium angles, screws, screwdriver, drill, pencil, ruler, spirit level, black paint, brush, wallpaper, wallpaper paste, roller, knife, something for roughening (sharp knife)

Description: We used: 1 BESTA shelf unit 120/40/192, 1 BESTA shelf unit 120/40/38, 1 BESTA shelf unit 60/40/128, 3 TOMBO glass doors 60/64, 3 INREDA extra inserts 56/36. Aluminium angles, screws, black paint, 1 roll of wallpaper, wallpaper paste, roller, ... books!

Preparation:

1. Fix wallpaper on backside of shelves: therefore
a) shorten backside of low shelf (1-2cm)
b) roughen surface of all 3 shelves (it happened to me, that the wallpaper came down from the 2 smaller shelves. caused by the very glossy surface?)
c) stick wallpaper on inlay of Tombo-doors.
d) if you like: paint angles for connecting shelf
and let it all dry well (overnight)
