A while back, we purchased a MALM bed frame from IKEA with the side tables that attached to the headboard. I have a habit of rearranging furniture so after several moves, the sidetables which were supposed to float, would no longer doe to the connection breaking. Shortly thereafter, the entire frame broke and what we now have is just the headboard piece against the wall with a standard metal frame holding up the mattress. I used part of the side rails as feet for the side tables to stand on their own, but they have since been replaced with mismatched side tables from other bedroom suits. I kept the wood and have used the foot board as shelving in the garage and have been looking to do something with the side tables for a while now. I finally refashioned them both into one table with 2 drawers. It was a little tricky because they aren't entirely solid wood, but I got creative and am pretty satisfied with the outcome. It's a tad on the heavy side so at least I won't have to worry about the boys pushing it around like they've been doing with all the other lighter furniture in the house - mostly chairs.
