Supplies / Tools
- IKEA Lack Side Table
- Marble Contact Paper (1 Roll is enough to make 3 Tables)
- X-Acto Knife
- Paper Towels
- Optional: Windex and Squeegee
Estimated Cost: ~$15 each
Instructions
Step 1: Cutting Marble Contact Paper
- Cut the Marble Contact paper to 26″ x 26″ (Table top is ~21.5″ x ~21.5″)
Step 2: Prepping Table Top
Method # 1 Windex & Squeegee
- Take out the Table Top from the packaging and spray Windex over the top. This allows you to move the contact paper around easily.
- Use a squeegee to remove all the Windex underneath when the paper is centered.
- Once the top has been attached start attaching the contact paper to the edge of the table top.
- Use an X-Acto Knife to cut off the corner contact paper. Be careful! These knives are super sharp.
- Use a credit card or something with a straight edge to smooth out the contact paper and remove as many air bubbles as possible.
Method # 2 No Windex or Squeegee
- This method might be better at preventing air bubbles.
- Start on one edge and peel back the contact paper sticker and start attaching to the table top.
- Use a credit card or something with a straight edge to smooth out the contact paper and to remove air bubbles.
- Use an X-Acto Knife to cut off the corner contact paper. Be careful! These knives are super sharp.
Step 3: Attach Table Legs
- The IKEA Lack Side Table comes with 4 screws and no other tools required to assemble. Screw on all 4 legs with provided screws. This will complete your beautiful IKEA Marble Side Table.
