Brimnes Side Table Bracket

thingiverse

I decided to create some side tables that perfectly complement our IKEA Brimnes Bed. I opted for a straightforward L-shaped design where the table is securely attached to the bed frame using 3D printed clips, providing an incredibly snug fit on the frame itself. The 3x16mm screws with a 6mm screwhead secure the table firmly in place. The side tables are crafted from 18mm pine boards that measure 300mm wide. The tabletop is 500mm long and features a "foot" section that stands at an impressive 474mm high, as the bed frame's height of 470mm has been augmented by an additional 4mm to accommodate the bracket's thickness. I used dowels to join these components together before giving them a fresh coat of white paint to match the rest of the bed. A key aspect of this design is that it allows for the drawers on the bed to remain fully functional, thanks to its thoughtful layout. One of the side tables even features an IKEA Trofast Box as a drawer, made possible by using the clever "IKEA Lack Drawer Hangers for Trofast Storage Bin" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2767910).
