Step 5Drill the peg holes for the top
As I mentioned before, I didn't take pictures when I made this. And because this step involves some glue, I can't take it apart to confirm exactly what I did.
If I remember right, the side pieces have holes to take two dowel pegs on the top. I can see one of the holes so I assume the other has the same spacing. I don't remember exactly and Ikea for some dumb reason does not have downloadable PDFs of the instructions! So double check all the numbers before you start drilling!
Figure out how much overhang you want at the back of the console. This is handy for routing power cords. I used 1.5 inches. Add your spacing to 3 1/2" and drill a 5/16 (8mm) hole this distance from the back (cut) edge and spaced 31/32" (34.5mm) in from the outside edge. Drill you second hole at 11" plus your offset spacing and again 31/32" inch from the outside edge.
Drill your second holes to match the peg spacing on the side pieces.
