We will be doing the same soon, can you tell me where you bought the wooden worktop with cutouts? At Ikea they only go up to 120cm. We would also like a maximum of 2cm thickness/height. Thanks!

We got the wooden board at OBI.

I would recommend you just walk through the table tops and see what you like (of course, this works at all hardware stores - in your area?). Just have it cut to size (possibly with a cutout directly - we did that too) and done.

PS: by the way, I am super satisfied with the DIY construction with the IKEA furniture. I would definitely do it that way again. Price-wise, it’s certainly 1/3 of a complete construction you get from a specialist dealer.

What did you do with the cut edge? Just glued it (I would be afraid that water gets in there)

Can you take some photos of how it looks and how you did it? Thank you very much!!

Regarding the cut edge: simply iron on the matching edge banding here (if the hardware store sells you a tabletop, they usually have the matching edge banding in stock on site). No water can get in there... These are the outer edges of the tabletop – you’re not going to just pour a bucket of water over it. Just make sure to rub the cut edge with silicone before ironing it on. Then water has no chance anyway.

You can do this without worries. At the back everything will be sealed with silicone joints anyway – also around the sink. I can gladly provide photos – I don’t currently have any on my smartphone – I’ll take some if I remember in the evening.

Regarding the procedure:

--> I connected the two pieces of furniture with furniture connector screws so that you make one piece out of the two individual carcasses (60cm or 80cm – depending on what you have). If you want to hang the thing on the wall, this is absolutely necessary.

--> Then I placed the tabletop on and screwed it to the carcass with brackets, so that you make one complete piece of furniture out of all the individual parts. When buying the tabletop, pay attention to the exact dimensions you want (side overhangs and front to consider – depending on how many millimeters you want there).

--> After that, push the entire construction (there should be 2-3 people for this) under the sink and against the wall so that everything sits flush and neatly. Then simply mark the holes (we screwed on 4 brackets and it holds great) and then start drilling – put in plugs – screw the brackets onto the carcass and done.
