Hi all,
I'm getting new IKEA furniture shortly, including a bedside table made mostly from chipboard or whichever the correct name for it is. I just wondered if there's a way of tank proofing this for say a 55l cube, since the danger is the stability and danger from water.
Structurally I'm semi-confident the unit would hold the weight, but has anyone strengthened units like that with wood at the back, or inside etc?
I may well just patch it and go for a unit designed for aquariums, only risk is ruining the matching furniture and infuriating she who must be obeyed
