Update - Kallax hack to add undermount pullout shelf

I posted the other day: https://www.reddit.com/r/ikeahacks/s/EuqdnjYCse

I ordered the shelf that someone suggested. I am not concerned about how it may look, I just wanted to be able to play my records!

It does what I wanted. 🎉 All I need to do now is add some foam to the top edges of the shelving so the player doesn’t slide too much when I pull the shelf out or push it back in.

Help - I want to hack my Kallax to add an undermount pullout shelf

I need to create a pullout shelf for my record player.

I already have some MDF from another project that I can use to cut the shelf, and I will be buying the undermount drawer slides shortly.

My main concern is attaching the drawer slides to the bottom of the cube where I will be doing this modification -- is it fine to just screw them directly into the bottom of the cube (it's in a 5x5 Kallax on row #2 - farthest right), or should I be adding another layer of MDF or Fiberboard and mounting that with L brackets to the sides?

Picture of the cube section in question, with the record player.

Thank you!
