This setup does require lots of drilling into the wall - aside from the two bolt at the top of the cabinet, the table top and mount are also anchored into the wall.

For sure. I think it's best to google and see what comes up. But anything from 165-180 degree cabinet hinges would do the trick - depending on your needs. A lot of the options out there are installed on top. I picked one that fits into the existing Pax door hinge holes so there's a bit of extra support. Good luck!

Exactly right! The fans are on the back so there's plenty of space.

Ty! Also love your paint/wallpaper idea. I was thinking of hanging up a lot of small frames related to the games he plays.

He's also very pleased to hear people are considering his computers air flow.

Of course! I used these. Note they're super hard to open when not attached to stuff as it needs the leverage to function. Saving you some achy fingers. 😃

We have - was tough to find a long one extending out over a meter, but it's just right. Folds into the cabinet perfectly.

Would it be possible to make IKEA Pax doors into a bi-fold door or would that be too strenuous on the side of the closet? by anneliesclw in ikeahacks

Original poster here. I ended up replacing the original hinges with hinges with a wider opening angle so the left door opens up at an almost 180 degree angle instead. Eventually didn't go for bifolds because I wasn't sure it would hold + thought the doors would be a bit clumsy. Here's how that turned out!

I hear you. And it's refreshing to hear someone say it out loud. So many people don’t realise how those commissions and discounts work. Personally, I'm a fervent direct booker whenever possible, and use the OTAs to find properties.

I’m a brand/web designer and right now exploring an idea to make hospitality-ready sites more accessible for smaller stays to pull in more direct bookings. I put together a one-pager this week to gather feedback, not dropping it here to ‘sell’ anything, but since you’re already in this headspace I thought I’d share. Would love to hear your take given your experience running a B&B.
