As somebody who lately needed to transfer their comedian e book assortment to a bigger room, I perceive your dilemma. I too needed to discover a answer to retailer my comedian assortment with out breaking the financial institution. On this article, I’ll share my expertise of how I discovered an awesome storage answer for my comics.

So as a result of I am working from house so much today I’ve determined to modify to an even bigger room however I needed to take my comedian assortment with me.
Now my previous room had horrible plastic storage sort lock shelving and horrible ripped cardboard lengthy containers. Not an awesome look!

One in all my spouse’s situations of me transferring to the bigger room in the home was that I maintain it good and have some good models to host my comedian e book assortment.

With this in thoughts I began researching how I may retailer my comics in an aesthetically pleasing approach 🙂

So I checked out issues like Ikea models , sadly I could not discover something deep sufficient to take my lengthy containers.
I additionally checked out how I may construct one thing for myself out of MDF after which perhaps paint it, however I simply haven’t got the instruments and the understand how do do one thing like that though would have been enjoyable to attempt!

Then I found one thing. Kitchen models!

They’re already painted, straightforward to assemble and include cabinets and if I needed to place doorways on I may!

I received these from my native B&Q which is only a ironmongery shop, here is a hyperlink to what I purchased :

Double Unit
GoodHome Caraway White Base unit, (W)1000mm

Single Unit
GoodHome Caraway White Base unit, (W)500mm

These 2 models solely value me £100 far cheaper than shopping for the MDF and constructing the bases myself!

I wanted to retailer 12 lengthy containers so I picked a single unit and a double unit.
I purchased some good black plastic comedian containers from BCW to interchange my previous cardboard ones these have been 50cm Size 20cm Width 28cm Top
Dimensions in inches Size (20inches) Width (8.inches) Top (11-inches)
I added a cm either side so the containers may very well be pulled out simply and I wasn’t jamming them in.

As soon as I assembled the kitchen models as you’ll be able to see the comedian containers sat good and cushty throughout the unit, however as soon as I put the shelf in there was an issue with the highest of the unit.

There was a again brace on the unit that was hitting the highest of the comedian field and in addition I could not put the backing board of the unit in , however I wasn’t too bothered about that I used to be extra involved concerning the brace.This was stopping the field from sliding all the way in which into the unit. I could not take away the brace because it was integral to the construction of the kitchen base unit.

So i made a decision to make use of a small L brace/bracket to angle the again brace in order that the comedian field may slide properly beneath.

The kitchen models got here with legs however I opted to not put them on I did not need to fiddle with facia/skirting boards.
With that sorted I may bolt the models collectively and all I wanted was a high , as these models are designed to place a kitchen counter high on them I purchased a chunk of MDF after which requested a carpenter good friend to chop and fasten the highest to the bottom models. Which he did for the worth of some beers !

I did use a few of the L brackets/braces to strengthen up the cabinets and the unit itself simply so as to add slightly little bit of stability.However as soon as the models have been bolted collectively and the MDF high was placed on these we’re fairly strong!

I purchased some arduous sporting furnishings paint to color the highest white , lengthy containers loaded and voila !

One good wanting comedian storage unit ! Joyful 🙂
I’ve additionally received a really good workbench on high that I can use for my comedian press and for comedian cleansing and prep.I plan to get some silicone matting to guard the MDF on high and a slicing board.

In case your trying to construct some comedian storage I’d severely contemplate kitchen models , they arrive in all sizes and shapes and with slightly know how one can modify them to fit your wants!
