DIY IKEA glass top vanity/dresser using IKEA Alex drawers & IKEA Komplement glass shelf and IKEA Komplement jewellery tray to make a customisable jewellery display
Tray, inserts & glass comes in 3 different sizes: 100cm, 75cm & 50cm
Measurements of holes to drill for glass shelf:
1st hole:
2.3cm down
2.4cm in
2and hole:
2.3cm down
24.9cm in
3rd hole:
2.3cm down
55cm in
Measurements of holes for jewellery tray:
1st hole:
8.7cm down
2.4cm in
From there you can mark where the 2nd hole needs to be, I cant remember what it was but if you line up the runner to the first hole you can mark where it needs to be drilled!

I like the glass top in the middle, I've seen a bunch of these Ikea vanities but none did this. Awesome!
Thanks for such a lovely comment! I was the same, I searched for so long and unless I paid £600+ I wasnt getting one. I was gonna put this jewellery drawer in my PAX wardrobe but then thought why cant i add it onto my Alex drawers! So glad you enjoyed watching!! X
This is great! Much better than just adding the table top! Thanks for the vid! There are two sizes, did you use the bigger or smaller tray/shelf?
I used the impressions vanity drawers and then the IKEA center in 29.5”. I paid $411 for everything including the mirror versus $1100 that impressions vanity charged! Thank you so much for this.
One of the best tutorial for a dressing table.
Measurements were spot on and looks awesome
I agree with a post below! So many diy vanity videos on CZcams, but no one did it like this.
I ended up using your idea for the slide in tray and added the Ekby Alex on top as opposed to the shelf.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Made my day this comment! Thank you so much! So glad you were able to do this! If you have social media send me a pic on Instagram I would love to see @karls_w x
Genius! What a great idea, so happy I ran into this video.
HI! I did this DIY over the weekend and it's beautiful! Your measurements were spot on, thank you! Ladies, if you can measure and drill, you can do this hack. I did it by myself from beginning to end. Always measure twice, drill once.
hi!! what US size shelf did you purchase?
Ah this has really made my day!! So glad you were able to do it! If you have insta please send me a pic I would love to see!! @karls_w x
Where did u get the hooks from or it comes with the shelf
@@new_yorkian_baby149 Hooks come with top.
What drill bit did you use? :)
Looks so good! Great idea.
Doing this this soon with the micke drawer units! Thank you!
I love your creativity thanks!
Thank you so so so much for this! Going to be updating my Alex makeup vanity as soon as these pieces are back in stock in my area!
So?
This video was exactly what i was looking for..so creative and brilliant.
Thanks you so much, your comments all mean alot! I really need to do a follow up video to fully talk through the build and how I've been using it!! X
Thank you so much for this!!! Just finished mine and added some jeweled knobs and in loooove! 🥰😍 You're so awesome! Looks much cuter than the typical hack I been seeing with the Alex drawers
Yaayy!! Good job!! Enjoy it! 😉
@@karls_w9125 hey can you tell me the name of the little drawer you had added ontop of your vanity? And did you just place them ontop or did you attach them?
@@badkesha91 can I see it ?
@@NaturallyMeil sure! I see your ig. I'll send it on there.
Thank you for sharing this! My husband just made this and I super love it! ❤️🥰
So happy for you! Enjoy, you're gonna love it!! X
Love it!!! Thank you for sharing
Hello great video . I was wondering if the glass was sturdy enough for a big vanity lightbulb mirror to sit on top ? Thank you
Love it. Just perfect
My husband built this for me after I showed him this video and I just want to say thank you such .
So glad it inspired you!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Send me a pic! I would love to see!! Insta karls_w
On it
Where did you get the mirror top?
Just bought this and started putting it together! Tomorrow I do the glass and the tray. Wish me luck 😅
So cool and creative !!!!! I was wondering if it could hold a computer keyboard and a mouse, and I am also wondering if the tray could hold my dj mixture its about 2-3 pounds and 2 inches in height. And by any chance do you where else I could get one in the USA.
I’ve been searching for exactly this!!! It’s perfect, thank you so much for sharing :)
I'm so happy everyone is enjoying this! My socials are linked! Please send me a pic once you have done it! 🥰
where u buy this top of jewellery display in ikea
@@sadiafaheem4717 idk where you will find it in your Ikea, I just looked up the name on the website and checked what row they said it was in and confirmed it with the employee at the finding station on the warehouse floor.
Such a good idea
Ah mazing! Thank you for sharing this idea .
Glad you enjoyed!
Ça faisait longtemps qui je cherchais comment faire ma coiffeuse comme ça, merci beaucoup ❤️❤️
This is great, exactly what I have been looking for :)
Thanks Jade! Glad you enjoyed! X
You did a good job gir!
@karls_w,
Brilliant IKEA hack and well done answering the myriad of question thrown at you even though you had added all the details under the title.
Provably took longer to reply than it took to make the vanity unit!
Excellent work.
I love answering qurstions, as a user of youtube i know how frustrating it is to just be ignored 😏👌🏽
I made this thank to this helpful tutorial thank u beautiful ❤
This video came right on time 🥳 this is how I want to do mines
Happy I could be of help!! I'm glad I'm inspiring you girls to build this as the ones out there are so expensive!! I was gonna put this jewellery drawer in my PAX wardrobe but then thought why cant i add it onto my Alex drawers!? So glad you enjoyed watching!! X
Thanks for providing the drilling depths. I've been wanting to do something like this but was too scared I might drill the wrong spot and damage the drawers. You did it effortlessly. TFS
Thank you so much! X
What drill bit did you end up using that worked the best?
@@avacouldridge429 I was going to ask the same ?.
It turned out amazing great job
What a great idea!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant Idea
This is a great hack! I wish Ikea made these pieces in pink too!! 💕💕
You could spray paint them, I think that is what I will do!
Thank you so very much for sharing..I have been looking for something like this for awhile but did not want to pay $700+. Thanks again
Same here! In the UK they were around £800 plus ridic shipping fee!! X
Exactly What I Was Looking For !
So happy I shared! Hope you enjoy building! The end result is so worth it! X
LOVE THIS!!
😫😫😫 this video is going to go viral. I want to order everything from IKEA, but on Instagram, all of the comments are talking about people ordering 1 to 2 months ago and dont have their items. I'm so ready to create this. Thank you for sharing!
I'm hoping this goes viral haha!! But yea, seems like IKEA is struggling to keep up, although here in the UK it took 2 weeks from ordering for me! Hopefully you get you can get your bits quickly! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@karls_w9125 lol me too. Before it goes viral and sell out for months.
This what I was looking for awesome 👏 thank you but my it’s for makeup I really enjoyed this idea 💡 I had something in my mind but it’s not same as watching alive great job beautiful job
Thank you so much! These comments mean alot 😚
Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you!!!
Haha this made me laugh!! Thanks girl!!! 😘😘
This looks great. I think for my height I just have to add some sort of casters or rise of some sort to the bottom and then I can make it work. as it is I think the tray is 22 inches off the ground and that hits right at my knees. How exciting. that shouldn't cost me much at all! thanks bae!
Wow best hack I’ve seen 👍🏽
Thank you so much! Comments like this mean alot! X
What drill bit did you use? I’m doing this project this week!!! Love it! :)
Super under rated video
Thanks so much!! 🙌🏽
Omg thankyou !
1) Can I do this with any drawers? Like 2x 3 malm drawers?
2) how do you know how deep you’re drilling?
Thank you!
I’m changing out my flat top to glass, the hooks that the glass table sits in where did you get them or do they come with it?
this is something I'm after but I'm wondering if the glass top is stable when you lean on it?
Loved this trying to recreate it. Is it sturdy enough to place a mirror on top. If not would the metal clips be able to hold a mirror? Thank you!
I would say try it and have a look underneath to see the wear on the clips, if they are bowing then I would suggest finding sturdier clips like the metal ones! There's loads on Amazon!! X
Is this glass and tray strong enough to use it as an office desk with a PC monitor, keyboard and mouse instead?
Do you know how to do this glass top on like a closet island? I’m thinking two ikea dressers put together. I just don’t know how I’d achieve the class top.
hey there! I know this is an old post but can you tell me what hardware will be needed that didn't come with?
What size is the tray (under the class top) that is being put on the runners and where did you get it?
Whats those clip things u pit when u drilled the holes. ( before putting glass top on )
Super smart
Please help I want to create this. But how did you do the top part?
It’s a replica of the impressions vanity slaystation and it’s gorgeous! You saved$$$
Yup!! I constantly adored and wanted that one but my bank account wasnt having it!! 🤣
This is EXACTLY what I wanted! Thank you SOOOOO much!
That’s nice
Does anyone happen to know where to get the glass top in the US? it's not available at the IKEA here in the states. Thanks ahead if anyone knows
TFS...I absolutely love this. Your glass top & jewelry tray makes this the best on YT in my opinion. Unfortunately there isn't a Ikea close to me therefore I'm trying to hack it. Got drawer from Michaels and they where on sale 50% off & have already assembled. Trying out these pic frames/shadow box for glass top& bottom tray. Whats the name of and where did you purchase the hardware to attach jewelry tray & glass shelf?
Thank you for your comment! Be sure to send me a pic! All of the hardware I used i got with the furniture from Ikea but if you search 'shelf pins' on amazon metal ones come up! Z
Hi, I can’t figure out how to see the items list, could you list them again?
Great idea, where did you gkass top from? Ikea also?? And the draw is a pax?
Gonna try and make this soon! I’m buying the Hollywood mirror with lights which weighs 6.82kg including the table stable thing, would this be able to hold the mirror? I don’t wanna put it on the wall
Hey did you ever put it up and did it hold the mirror ?
petit biscuit yasss girl!!!!!!!!!!
Totally doing this
So happy I've inspired you to build this! I've added the measurements as you can see so I hope all goes well!! 🤞🏼 x
What hooks did you use for the glass top .?
Hi what’s the middle bit called on Ikea website please
Where can I find the glass top and tray
Wait so the the shelf already come with the runners or did you have to purchase them separately?
whats the glass top and the tray underneath called and were from x
You saved me I love you!!! 😍😍
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed the DIY! I saved myself too, was sick and tired of searching for something I either wasnt gonna find or couldnt afford!! Happy to share! X
Karls _w exactly! Same here! In Italy they overprice everything so this saved me for real! Also, PAX Komplement drawers (the one with glass front) are the same measurements of Alex’s, so instead you can use one of them under to store more makeup, stuff. I think I’m gonna go like this. Your video was super useful, now I’m thinking if I can actually change the actual drawers from Alex (because i really dont like how they appear) and replace them with pax, but this I’m not sure, still have to look at ikea to see if it fits 🧐🧐 thank you anyway ❤️
Such a good idea! Let me know how you go because it would look amazing with glass front drawers to tie everything together!! I'm gonna look into it! So you can just replace the alex drawers with the komplement ones! I have one in my PAX wardrobe I might try it!! X
Loved this idea but it has been taking me toooo long! The rail screws are too thick to get into the side of the cabinets! How did you get it in? I see in your video very small holes 😑
Wow this is a mint video.. i looked everywhere for something like this and was going to cost so much. Now i can make this when i get my new desk! Ill be sooo happy 🥺🥰 thanks for sharing all the info xxx does everything come with it like runners ect? Or doi need to buy them. Ikea here i come next month 🥳
I love seeing comments like this!! I was the same! £800+ for display vanities!! 😢 Yes everything is from IKEA, the runners come with the tray! The pins come with the shelf! X
@@karls_w9125 aww fab im going up on the weekend hopefully i can grab them hehe. I know right so bloody expensive 😱x
Does it sit too low?? Is it a comfortable height?
Can you tell me how long is it??? All together?
hey quick question the alex drawers are 36x70 cm and the glass shelf is 100x58cm just wondering how your shelf fit perfectly width wise with the alex drawers!
Are you serious?
Hi, what kind of hooks did you use in 0:25? And I’m 0:34 which drawer is this, and did it come with the slider or is it bough separately, thanks!
Hi, the hooks come with the glass shelf! It's the Komplement jewellery display. Comes with the slider and the compartments x
Was curious what the length of the whole piece is?
OMGGGGGGGGGG THANK YOUUUUU
You're welcome my lovely 😍
Hi really love your video and want to recreate! Do you have a new link for the drawers can’t seem to pull it up when I click the link😅 thanks girl 🤗
Link doesn't work for me either! I don't think they're on the IKEA website, might be sold out. Google IKEA Alex Drawers (5 drawer) x
Hi I would love to create this for my daughter 💖, Can you tell me the name of the shelve please. These IKEA names be confusing me 🤪 thanks
Hi Danya I have linked everything in the description box. If you're in the USA it might be different links so you need 2 Alex drawers, Komplement glass shelf & Komplement display tray x
I love it how you customize the komplement shelf and tray to fit them into your needs!! Just what i was looking for!
Could you please help me figure out what’s the width or distance between those two drawers with the jewelry tray in between?
I am trying to do the similar project but could quite figure out how much width i need to fit the tray plus the drawer slides.
Thank you so much in advance!
The IKEA Komplement trays come in different sizes, my one is 100cm tray, I built obe for my friend with a smaller room using the 75cm tray and they also have a 50cm tray x
hi sorry for bothering again ! but I was wondering if the size of the glass shelf affects the measurements for drilling, you have posted? im planning to get the shelf in 73cm :)
If it's the same depth (58cm) it should be the same measurements x
Wow you did such a great job. Did the retractable part of the jewelry drawer come with it ? Did you have to purchase hardware separate?
Yea the drawer comes separate from the glass shelf! It's just called IKEA KOMPLEMENT Jewellery tray. The grey inserts come with but you can also buy the tray without!
Do you know the full length from drawer to drawer? I’m trying to see what size mirror I should get.
Hey, the middle bit is 100cm. IKEA have different sizes, a 50cm and a 75cm if you dont want it so big. The drawers are 36cm wide so 36+36+100=172cm xx
Great idea but what are the little hooks for the glass shelf called ? Did you get them at IKEA?
They come with the glass shelf x
This is so cool! I have seen tons of Alex vanities but none did this! Wondering if it feels huge?? Most of the vanities I have seen are max 120cm..
Thanks!
It does feel very big! The middle glass bit is 100cm alone! Thank you so much for your lovely compliment, I'm so glad you are all loving it!! ✌🏽
Karls _w I am recreating it with 75cm middle piece.. mine are coming on Monday.. fingers crossed I make it look as good ☺️
Do you have purchase list
This is a question coming from someone that knows nothing about this kind of stuff. So, may I ask, what are the little thingys that you put in the holes to place that glass tray on top of. Lol
I loooove the look 😍 but I'm scared it's not sturdy enough, maybe by finding a way to make it more secure it would be perfect !
You can get metal pins from Amazon that would make it sturdier as the plastic ones aren't very! Im looking to change them to metal ones soon! ✌🏽
@@karls_w9125 wichones would u recommend
@@new_yorkian_baby149 I havent used the metal ones yet, my plastic ones are still going strong
Hey I'm trying to make this desk like yours I was just wondering where can you get the glass top just like yours in this video? Cuz I've been only trying to look for the glass tops for a long time and I can't find one just like this can you please let me know that would be great thank you much appreciated God bless
Amazing! Let me know how it goes! 👌🏽 Everything is from IKEA! Search: Komplement glass shelf
Ikea
I know what me and my hubby are doing this weekend lol
Love it! I've had so many ladies send me theirs when they've done it! I love seeing them!! Good Luck!! X
Love it can you tell me the name of the shelf and glass top piece please so i can search it on ikea thanks
Its Komplemet glass shelf
Where did you get the runners?
Are you in the US? I noticed the product links are for Belgium so I'm wondering if they're available in America as well.
I'm in the UK! I have named everything so you should just be able to search the name of the products on the IKEA website! ✌🏽
Hey, I love how you show everything in the video! It’s so creative! I’m actually trying to do this for myself. Just curious where you bought the glass top from?
Thanks Priya! I try to show as much as possible to make it easy for you guys to re-create! Sharing is caring! Haha. The glass top is also from IKEA, its linked in the description box, it's a glass shelf from the Komplement range designed for the PAX wardrobes x
@@karls_w9125 where did you get the mounting hooks that screw into the side of the Alex?
I found out the glass top I got was returned so it didn't have the mounting brackets. Took it back and got a new one and viola! the brackets were included.
You are a genious
Haha this made me smile!! Thanks!! 😊
Beutiful Princess 🌟 I’m suscribe!
Thank you so much! X
What supports pieces did you put into your drill holes to hold up the table top?
The plastic shelf pins that came with the Komplement shelf from IKEA but you can also get metal ones off Amazon! Just search shelf pins x
This looks so beautiful😍😍😍😍 where did you buy the glass top
Hey! Everything is from IKEA! It's called a KOMPLEMENT shelf x
Hey! Where did you get the metal hooks to place the glass on top? And what are they called? Thank you!
Just google shelf hooks or metal shelf pins!
