Oh good I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️

I’m going to keep that bracket idea in mind. I hang TVs, pictures, mirrors, and art for a living and do TONS of furniture assembly as well. Occasionally I get asked to mount these to the walls and the last time I had to mount it off center because of those brackets not lining up with the studs.

That’s a good idea. Was it the glass from ikea that usually goes on the big dresser

Apparently they're not compatible with the TV units in particular, hence the retrofit and why we are all here looking for ideas

Thank you! Love the tip 🖤

Maybe one day we’ll prioritize this 😅 wanna come over and do it for us? Haha

Thank you babe! 🖤

Oh interesting! Thank you!

Yup, me and my hammer drill are best friends

Not sure what you mean? Almost every house I lived in was brick & built around 1915 & the walls are all plaster- thick as hell. You can’t just drill into these walls either- the mail will fall out with crumbling wall. I’m assuming house in Europe are similar. Neither newer houses I lived in built in 1940s & 1960s were brick with no drywall & you MUST go into a stud or nothing will stay up

@@SarahWisted Im not sure if what they said is accurate. I have never lived in a home in the US that had drywall- all were brick & built between 1910-1960. You can’t just hammer into plaster walls either as wall wi crumble unless you nail into stud. Having to find the stud & anchor is the main reason I don’t have anything heaving on my walls. You have to know what you are doing

Brick walls are common in my part of Australia too. You can use masonry drill bits and wall plugs. We don’t just drill into the plaster 😅

Thanks love! I’m always down for a touch of greenery ☺️

Thanks!

Wow!! Terrific thinking lots better than a long piece of BROWN wood. I've seen reverse painting done for a backsplash (pictures) so why didn't I think of that? This is way better...no splashes of water of grease...only dust. Congratulations!

@@cmbespoke3699 using the rails are great, because if you have multiple cabinets in a row, all you do is attach the rails together, mount, then hang your bestas

@@paulschockner1445 thanks for the reply.

Thank you!

Amazing! Thanks for the info 🖤

Thanks babe! 🖤

Hi, I'm looking to buy all of this. Would you get those steel brackets from ikea directly or? I can't seem to find anything like that on the website.

@@morgangodfrey3471 - you can buy the Besta Suspension rails which are made to mount the cabinets on the wall. They all interconnect as one long Mount on the wall so you can hit studs where needed.

The plant is from Amazon and the Pot is from pottery barn!

Hi, do you happen to have a link to the plant? I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm currently trying to wall mount this same tv bench (2x120) and the brackets that came with the unit don't align with the wall studs just like shown in this video. I cannot find the separate mounting bracket you've mention. The only other bracket I can find is a railing that isn't compatible with the tv bench (it is only compatible with the regular Besta cabinet). Are you able to provide a link or the name of the bracket you're talking about? Thanks.

@@mumgamer2842 The bracket I spoke of is used for the normal besta units, not the TV unit. For some reason they use two different systems. My apologies, i thought the one used in this video was just the normal Besta units. No worries, I do have a solution for you that involves two different sizes of wood that you use as a footer and brackets in place of the plastic tabs and a simple pocket screw jig. It is superior to the plastic tabs. If you want me to describe that I can, just reply here.

@@michaelmccormick5800 Michael, please share your solution. Thanks

@@ericgaona3951 hello. I will try my best to explain. I don't have pictures unfortunately. So first I decided to elevate the item one foot off the ground. So I bought 1x1 8ft piece.of wood to use as a footer for the item to rest on, you can't see it if mounter low to floor. Two I bought a small Kreg Jig for the more complex part. Instead of using the brackets I cut a piece of wood, 1/4(space from back to backing cover) in thick and about 3 inches wide to snuggly fit across the back of the item where the brackets go. I decided to go the length of the cube for each section because it will ensure you hit studs. So if you have a 3 cube item, you would have 3 pieces of wood mounted to the back. You use the pocket kreg jig to attach it to the item, side and top and then use the wood brackets to attach is to the wall. Lastly I screwed it to the footer for extra stability. Hope this makes sense.

@@michaelmccormick5800 This makes perfect sense, just trying picture it. So the top wood is pocket screwed (angled screwed) to the unit? I imagine you just used small wood screws so it penetrates, but not goes through. Thanks.

Sure! We didn’t have those and wanted to be 100% safe. Thanks for the tip! 🖤

Not rude! We just did it this way. No right or wrong ☺️

Thank you!! And I will for sure ☺️

🖤

Thanks! This set up was temporary until our née couch arrived 🖤

Love that!

Link?

It links the units together as well, and you can attach multiple mounting brackets together. I currently have 5 units wall mounted with these. You could hang off the bars (not the units as I don't think they can handle that.... Lol

Thank you! 🖤

🤍

Definitely worth a try!

That would be messy and never look good. Read more at the top, have glass cut, paint one side white, maybe 2 coats with one of those smooth rollers, flip with painted side DOWN.

Same! I’m sold ☺️

Great idea

Of course! Hope it was helpful ☺️

Good to know!

Nothing wrong with what you done the brackets they are fine, as long as no one is jumping up and down on it :) also good job setting them out to fit the timbers studs behind.

The Besta railing isn't compatible with the TV bench - only compatible with the regular Besta cabinet.

@@mumgamer2842 that's not true. My Besta TV bench is held up with the Besta rails. They don't make a single one that's wide enough, so you need to buy multiple. In fact, if you go on the Ikea website, it's in the instructions for the suspension rail, and it's listed as an accessory to the 96 inch TV units, also on the Ikea website. www.ikea.com/us/en/assembly_instructions/besta-suspension-rail-silver-colour__AA-1272162-10_pub.pdf

@@dizzy13sn Are you sure you have the actual TV bench? There are 2 types - the regular and the bench (which has the holes cut out for the cables). According to the Ikea website, and I quote "The suspension rail cannot be used with BESTÅ TV benches."

I get that! This is a very old video and am always learning 🤍

☺️☺️

Thank you!! ☺️

Thank you! We liked it asymmetrical ☺️

@@SarahWisted fair enough..👍

For sure! One day we plan to turn those windows into doors, so this made the most sense for when that happens 🖤

It may just be the studs are in different places in your new place! Thank you ☺️

Is there any trick to fix the hinges? cos our new tv stand,, doesnt fit well at hinges.

Awe so glad! Redecorating is so fun ☺️ enjoy!

I’d like to know too

You’ll love them! 🖤

Thank you! It’s 10 1/2 inches off the floor 🖤

We cut small holes in the drywall - 1 where the tv hides the hole and 2 - inside the BESTA unit. You can buy plastic inserts for the holes for it to look more professional if you wanted.

Thank you!! And yes he did get some golf shoes and he was excited 😂

sure! It's 10 1/2 inches off the floor

@@SarahWisted thanks a lot!

Thank you Trisane!

SW Alabaster 🤍

Totally agree! Thanks babe ☺️

Thank you! 🖤

@@SarahWisted good ideas but maybe you like this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q76dadierb3ago0.html

By the way thanks for sharing i got my tv stand from Amazon and honestly i over paid for it im thinking about add the wood just like the one in the link i sent you.

Behind the drywall 🖤

Thank you! It’s actually just a sound bar. It doesn’t hold anything 🖤

@@SarahWisted oh I see - wishful thinking of me :) tks anyway!

I had the same question. Can you share where you got the angle brackets and the screws from?

Have you found out what size/type of screws for the top?

Yes! Though the dry wall

Thank you! Per centering - I like the asymmetrical look of it being off center. The TV is still center of the seating area ☺️

Thank you! So happy to have you following along ☺️

Hey! Thank you!! My personal preference is always matte for everything ☺️

😂😂

Oh I’m so glad! And thank you ☺️

It’s from Home Depot 🖤

Thank you! It’s a birds of paradise tree 🖤

Home Depot!

A tv wall mount and the wires go back through the drywall 🖤

Thank you! For product info, you can check out IKEA: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/besta-frame-white-60245844/

Hey! No we did not install the push open, just the soft close hinges. ☺️

The only issue is with Apple TV. We haven’t yet downloaded the Apple TV app. All other platforms we watch are apps and built into the tv, which we can use with the doors closed 🖤

For Apple TV, yes because we have the old box version. Everything else, no. Especially if you have a smart tv, all the apps are usually already installed on the smart tv 🤍

We did not! I don’t know if that was available when we installed it honestly. I have no idea 😅

So, how did you keep your unit from being wobbly since you didn't put the back piece?

Weird, it’s the exact same depth with the ones we got? Did the ones you ordered not line up?

This is not! I could see a high gloss version in a contemporary house aesthetic if that’s what you’re going for? I personally prefer the matte as it’s a little more understated 🖤

Ahh maybe! We don’t have an Xbox in there but Apple TV doesn’t work well behind the door

We have a Besta, sits on the floor with just two doors-wider doors and taller. We have everything in there and our remotes/roku/cable works with no problem!!
