ᐅ Which materials are suitable for creating a custom front for IKEA Besta units?

Created on: 27 May 2018 09:12

Hello everyone,

I am planning to build a custom front panel for my IKEA Besta shelving unit and am looking for the best materials suitable for this purpose. It is important to me that the front panel is sturdy, relatively easy to work with, and visually appealing. Additionally, the material should absorb minimal moisture and ideally be easy to paint or coat. Does anyone have experience with suitable materials for front panels? What are the pros and cons of options like MDF, plywood, or HPL panels?

I look forward to your advice!

I can only agree with Peone. If the paint shouldn’t be too expensive, I also recommend affordable acrylic paints with a matte finish. Additionally, sealing the edges and using a primer for MDF will help you enjoy the front for a longer time.
