So pleased with how this turned out <3

Upgraded our toddler into her “big kid room” out of the nursery and flipped her Kura bed to the loft style, but we don’t trust her to safely get down with the ladder, so we used the trofast as stairs hack!
Löva canopy above bed to steer thoughts of standing up in bed away and I ordered extra of the brackets used for wall mounts and secured the bed and the stairs to the wall (can’t be overly cautious with a toddler)
Used the daggkaprifol picture ledge shelf as tonie character storage since it’s metal and the characters magnetize to it!
Sötenas was found in the as-is section in our store IN BOX and it fixed perfectly under the Kura bed for a lounge chair!
Toddler was over the moon ofc and loves her new big kid room

Ok guys, in case someone is putting top-mounted slide-out waste bins (non ikea ones ) in a Sektion cabinet (Rev-A-Shelf, Hafele, Knape & Vogt or others) and wants to add a servo opener like IKEA Utrusta or blum (same thing ), there is a way to do it. Problem is top-mount bins hang from a frame, so there is no drawer back for the servo arm to push against.

I moved the servo all the way to the front of the inner cabinet (not at the back where it's intended to be), trimmed the bracket so the bins clear it, and built a small spacer from scrap wood, screwed to the back of the door panel (voxtrorp) . Light push on the door, servo kicks the spacer, whole pull-out opens. Nothing fancy (no one sees the spacer on the bottom of the door anyway), just a little hack. Been working for a couple of years, no rattle, nothing loose. I was skeptical it would work because the servo is at the bottom of the door, but once the door is lightly pushed it does activate servo arm and push the door, not all the way, especially if the bins are full , but enough to drop something into the first bin without touching it 😂

Getting back into CDs big time and am seeking ikea benno cd shelves to house my collection. Been waiting forever for them to pop up on marketplace. Does anyone have any tan ones of these to spare I can buy off you??
