Extra Wide Media Cabinet Besta IKEA details

My media cabinet needed to be extra long for the scale of the room and the scale of the GIANT 75” television that my husband insisted on. So, I searched online to find an extra wide media console cabinet. I soon realized the predicament I was in.  Any media cabinet that is over 90 inches wide is extremely expensive. 

So, I asked for advice on my Instagram account.  I  soon found out about BESTA IKEA units. These cabinets can be customized for your specific space. 

For those of you who are looking for specific details about what this specific cabinet unit has, I’ll lay it all out for you!

My BESTA unit ended up being slightly wider than 118” when all was said and done. It is three separate cabinets. Two smaller frames on each side and one TV unit in the middle. 

I choose drawers for the center cabinet {one smaller drawer for the top, and a slightly taller drawer for the bottom} and then shelves for the outer cabinets because I like that visually. 

I chose the VASSVIKEN doors because I loved the hex pattern, but there are tons of door options to choose from. 

Each cabinet door needs a set of hinges and the drawers need runners/rails.  

I choose OSTERNAS leather loops and OSTERNAS leather pulls for our cabinet hardware.

I wanted my cabinets to sit up off the floor a few inches, so I choose SULARP legs. 

Honestly, going into the store and having the help of the designer really helped! It’s not impossible to do it yourself, but it helped to have them know exactly how many hinges, drawer rails, and legs I would need.

For those who will ask the cost, for the entire cabinet including hardware, legs, hinges, even sales tax,  it cost us $633.82. 

After looking at media cabinets for well over $1400 all over the internet, we were very happy with this purchase! Let me know if you have any other questions!
