To determine what length of the activity table you need, take a good look at your space. So 4 kids would be comfortable enough to play next to each other without bumping onto storage units. We chose 6 feet so there would be a space between storage units that could fit 2 small chairs on each side. The length could be customized to your needs. When you use TROFAST storage units, your LEGO table should be at least 37" wide. We ended up painting this DIY lego table with SW Privilege green color, but let's take it step by step. So always check the treatment of the unit before you decide on the finish. I guess that's why the stain didn't want to hold! Only now, while writing this blog I see on the IKEA website that this unit was treated before!! "IKEA - TROFAST Storage combination with boxes, Light white stained pine/white". AT ALL! I even sanded one side, to see if it would help, but had no luck! I decided to paint it over. When I applied it to the TROFAST storage unit, it didn't work! The stain wouldn't soak into the wood grain. My sister was all over this idea and got Minwax solid color stain in beautiful olive color. TROFAST storage units are already STAINED! I've got myself into quite a situation when suggested that we stain this beautiful pine with new Minwax solid colors stain. When you are deciding on the finish of this table, keep in mind a few things. Then we used clear acrylic containers to sort all the LEGO by colors! This DIY LEGO table is a dream come true! My sister wanted to have shelves instead of IKEA containers on one side, so I made her 6 dividers that create 9 frames. The extra storage adds functionality to any playroom. The tabletop's overall dimensions for the LEGO table are 37 ½"x 73 ½", including trim. The trim definitely added some charm to the table and a finished look. To build this DIY lego table we took two TROFAST units and added a large tabletop with beautiful trim. This lego table turned out so functional and stylish (the last feature was very important to my sister who didn't want to stare at some ugly large construction every day).

Few words about the design of kids activity table If you prefer a video version of this DIY LEGO table tutorial, you can watch it on my YouTube channel I'm still not sure to whom it belongs - to my brother-in-law or to my nephews, but one thing is certain - their family is super happy with the new addition to their playroom □ It's an IKEA hack, an extra-large kids' activity table. During my last visit, I built them a DIY lego table, that could also be any other activity table. It's a completely different story at my sister's house, where she has three boys - one big one and two small, haha. They love to play with LEGO but perhaps didn't reach that age when you get obsessed over it. As you know, I have two girls who are mostly interested in dolls and Paw Patrol.
