Did I dream this Ikea shelving?

In my head, this unit is about 2 m tall.

It has bookshelves at the top and drawers at the bottom, or possibly small cupboards. The drawer section is about knee-high, and is deeper (stands out further from the wall) than the shelving section.

Did I make all this up?

I can't find anything even slightly like it on the Ikea website, or even on eBay.

I am sure I saw one like that on a fb selling page recently. I noticed it because I was surprised it was Ikea!

Ohh, maybe it's Leksvik.

Looks like it's discontinued. Oh well.

Thanks for confirming it wasn't just a hallucination! Grin

Could it be Besta? You can customise it all you like. Some of the largest units are 2m tall, and you can also stack smaller units. It comes in two depths, so you can get a deeper part at the bottom and shallower at the top. You can leave it as shelves, or add drawers or cupboard doors.

Sounds a bit like the Hemnes range of separate bits.
Not a good photo, but can take a better one when I get home if you think it might be this.
It is a TV unit with 2 deep drawers, on the right is a shelf unit (can go left or right) then over the top are another set of shelves.

Is it the Hemnes wooden desk and shelf unit?

TressiliansStone · 10/08/2018 15:08

Mmm, I can see Besta in my future somewhere.Smile

I've always gone for Billy before, because they're so shallow (28 cm) and that's what I needed. But I might now have space for the 40 cm deep section.

Excellent! Many thanks!

And now the Hemnes is making me think it was that... almost!

I suspect they've interbred in my imagination.Grin

Any orders for my new-found psychic abilities?

There is also this one. Plus I think it would be possible to have made something similar up using stuva and plasta(?).

Also could do it by stacking a shallow Billy over a deep Billy and putting the oxberg(?) doors on it.

That's what I love about IKEA, everything is so flexible and can be changed around to be exactly what you want/need.

I have these , IKEA leksvik.

About 8-10 years old now.

TressiliansStone · 27/10/2018 22:18

I'm freaked out at the deep Billy.

Better I discover that now, than when an order arrives and I think, But Billy is always 28 cm.

Oh good lord, that Brusali is also the thing.
