Default building viv - after ikea trip!

hi everyone.

basically, i have been to ikea. as usual, i have come home with something. this time however it is slightly differant. it is a skeleton for kitchen units! dimensions are something like 125x48x58cm...perfect for male boa's! i am going to start assembling today, and will get some pics up later. they cost me £31 which is very good if you ask me!

will get up pics, and the exact product name later,

Alex

220cm is 86.6 inches/7.2ft
75cm is 29.5 inches/2.5ft
95cm is 37.4 inches/3.1ft

that's really close, best I've found yet! Did you find out what the item was called?

Thanks!

Cool

I took a trip to ikea other day, bought a coffee table for £12 to put a frame around my old fish tank. This is so i can build it on top of my tv unit so it looks as if it has always been there, the whole set-up for leo (getting soon) has cost me a mere £67 . I will post pics tonight of the nearly finished product.

cant find the exact one, but then i cant find the one i have either. the closest i can find on the internet are these

IKEA | Built-in kitchens | FAKTUM/RATIONELL system | FAKTUM | High cabinet for fridge/ freezer

the one in store was longer, wider and taller, but then there were also not for sale stickers on it, so it may be discontinued. still, thats 7x2x2
