Built-in Facts
- The cheapest way to DIY built-ins is the "IKEA Hack" — buying basic IKEA Billy bookcases, screwing them to the wall, and trimming them out with custom molding to look built-in.
- MDF is heavy and creates terrible dust when cut, but it paints beautifully without any wood grain showing through.
- Shelves wider than 36 inches will sag under the weight of books unless you build them with a thickened front lip or use 1-inch thick material.
