Hello everyone, I am considering modifying my IKEA Besta furniture piece into a TV and media unit. My specific question is: Is there a clear, preferably simple and step-by-step guide on how to modify the BESTA system to include cable management, create space for consoles and receivers, and possibly even install a sturdy mount for the TV? It is important to me that the steps are manageable for a layperson without the need for expensive special tools or advanced woodworking skills. Does anyone have experience with this or know of a guide on how to approach it? Thank you very much in advance!

On the topic of instructions: There are many DIY videos available online, but no official IKEA manuals for this kind of conversion. My recommendation: Draw your furniture layout, plan where appliances will go, and carefully measure cable routes. This will help you avoid mistakes during the conversion.
