LIATORP succession is neat, but it got a problem with the finishing- the surface blemishes readily etc, especially for the cases, like the TV stand, with tabletops.

So one day I decided to amend the original tabletop of my TV stand. I sanded off all original cover, repainted it. But the quality of the repainting prepared it even more severe than it was before. It was then that I got the idea to fully change it.
IKEA parts worked:
LIATORP TV stand
LIATORP | IKEA.com
Other the documentation and implements:
Solid oak( assessing 2200 x 620 x 20 mm for about $60 and it was enough for table top+ drawer fronts) Wood router Drill Danish petroleum Mixol Universal Tint #23
How I returned a new look to the age-old LIATORP TV stand
I acquired solid oak rim glued panel.( It was slightly thinner than the original LIATORP tabletop- 20 mm against 23 -2 4 mm ). Then I cut it in the same features as the original, made a nice advantage with a timber router, sanded it with 150 grit.
Then I stained it with Danish lubricant+ Mixol Universal Tint #23 . The first photo was taken with artificial sunrise, so it’s not true to complexion. You can see the actual color in the next photo.

After that, I drill all the holes for jailers on the underside as per the original tabletop, and secured the brand-new top to the bench.
Next, I’ve wanted to change the drawer figureheads as well. So, I disassembled the boxes, set the fronts, and represented brand-new ones from the same solid oak as the table top, and finished them with the same oil.
I’ve also changed the holds to metal ones, and here is what I have now 😛 TAGEND
