BESTA love and idea thread

I'm sure there's something similar I can buy at HD or Lowes yah? It's better than the tape as this point, it won't hold up.

I'm thinking of something like a staple I can stick between the SMDs.

I used construction grade double sided tape for mine. I have no worries.

mounting tape rips the paint off if you take it off, i would be careful

Real Quick Plz....For all the Besta Veterans.....What's the general consensus on running LED wires? Drilling holes?....or is there a way to "shimmy" the wires between the wood borders?

 

[DarkMario616]

I'd have no problem removing the tape.

VHB seems like it would work but damn! $30 a roll..

I drilled holes in the back panel. I used white electrical tape (white besta) to hold the wire to the underside of the shelf.

You just need a small hole drilled around the rear corner. The other way, i don't think it's even possible.

I had to cut a small section out for the RGB lights due to it's wide connector. I have nothing holding up the wires because it's a tight fit and it's close enough to the ceiling as it is.

Surprisingly, I asked Amazon if I could return the tape and they told me to just keep it while giving me a refund. Well...alright then.

Drilled a hole and cable clips for the wire.

For anyone still looking for Tombos, I was at my ikea tonight and they had a ton of the large size ones for only $10

 

[budafett]

The 3 panel ones? Where do you live if I may ask?!

Great information...



Would be a thousand times better if you actually included a location

 

[hockeyflow33]

Massachusetts. I didn't include a location because I assume that it's probably a company-wide price

 

[dw316]

Only $20 at mine, $10 is a steal but I probably won't need anymore. Gonna limit my collection to 3 shelves.

3 shelves?! Why can't I have that kind of self control?

 

[KingB]

I'm limiting my collection to 6 shelves.

 

[Collectorcol]

Mine's limited to what I can fit in a room...
Pretty full

You should eliminate something. Like a wall to make the room bigger.

 

[Collectorcol]

Hmmm...Kids bedroom?

I guess I should have been checking out this thread...I need add to my bestas so I went to Ikea today and was shocked to find that they no longer have tombo doors or the silver legs! I don't know what I can do now other than have a mismatched display.
