Thanks to IKEA cheap furniture is available for most of us. Although when it comes to unusual functionality you might not find the right solution there. Although you can upgrade IKEA’s furniture to serve your needs. For example, if you want a chalkboard table for you kids you can make it from LACK side table and IDEALISK measuring cup. Believe me, you won’t get a good chalkboard table any other way. Children furniture is so expensive in all these stores…
So, besides these two products from IKEA you’ll need a can of chalkboard paint and some power tools. The material’s cost including the side table won’t be more than $25. In 2 hours you’ll be able to make a nice playground for you kids. On YeNz’s blog you can find full instructions.
