Converting an Ikea Expedit

This is a very simple instructable about how to convert an Expedit to a small sideboard. All you need is an old Expedit, the socket wrench that is delivered with it and a saw.

A friend of us was about to throw his old shelf out so I took it and thought about a way to convert it to a sideboard for my son to use as a drawing desk.

Step 1 Harvesting the parts

What you need for the sideboard are only three parts of the Expedit: The top board (1) and the two side parts (2 and 3).
