Joining IKEA Besta Units Without Drilling

If you're looking to create a larger, custom storage solution using multiple IKEA Besta units, you're in luck! IKEA’s Besta units are designed with modularity in mind, making it simple to connect multiple units seamlessly without the need for drilling or complicated hardware. Here’s a step-by-step guide to joining Besta units, plus some tips and tricks to ensure a cohesive, polished look for your furniture.

Why Connect Multiple Besta Units?

Whether you're looking to create an expansive media console, a spacious storage unit, or a low-profile sideboard, connecting multiple Besta units allows you to scale your furniture to the exact size you need. By joining units, you can design a continuous, clean line that functions as a single piece, providing both style and functionality.

Tips for a Seamless Appearance

  • Top Panel Options: If you prefer a completely seamless top surface, consider placing a single countertop or top panel across the units. Norse Interiors offers top panels and that can provide a consistent look over multiple units.

  • Avoid Gaps: Make sure each unit is closely aligned, with minimal gap between them. If you notice any gaps, slightly adjust each unit until they’re tightly positioned together. This will enhance the visual appeal and ensure they look like one solid piece.

  • Securing Units to the Wall: If your Besta units are tall or holding heavy items, consider securing them to the wall with IKEA's provided safety brackets. This will prevent tipping and add an extra layer of stability to your connected setup.

Benefits of Joining Besta Units Without Drilling

  1. Preserve Your Units for Future Reconfiguration: Since the joining process doesn’t require drilling or permanent modifications, you can easily separate or reconfigure your units later.

  2. Flexible Design Options: Connecting units without drilling means you can experiment with layouts and adapt your setup as your needs evolve.

  3. Aesthetic Continuity: By joining units, you create a unified look that complements modern, streamlined spaces. It’s an ideal way to maximize storage without sacrificing style.
