Add Horizontal Shelf to IKEA BRÄNNBOLL - Full Manual

Required Materials:

• Glass sheet: 460mm x 200mm x 3mm (18.11" x 7.87" x 0.12"), with cut corners
• Printable 4 adapters
• Printable marker-sheet (template for screwing points)
• Wood screws: 3.5x12 mm (or #6 x 1/2” for USA)
• 8x2 mm silicone stoppers (IKEA part no. 107091 or equivalent from a furniture store)
• Sharpie or other fine-tip marker
• Screwdriver PZ2

Steps:

Prepare the Glass:

• Purchase a custom cut glass sheet with dimensions 460mm x 200mm x 3mm (18.11" x 7.87" x 0.12"). Be sure the edges and corners are cut for safety and aesthetics.
• Note: Avoid using acrylic or plexiglass, as these materials may bend or look uneven over time.

Position the Screwing Points:

• Chose marker-sheet:
  • One Third of height - 70mm
  • Half of height - 105mm
• Place the marker-sheet on the surface where the glass will be installed.
• Use a Sharpie to mark the 4 points for screwing the adapters, aligning the marker-sheet carefully to ensure even positioning.

Install the Adapters:

• Align each adapter with a marked point.
• Secure each adapter by screwing it into place using the 3.5x12 mm wood screws (or #6 x 1/2” wood screws if you are in the USA).
• Tighten each screw to ensure a stable foundation, but avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking or damaging the mounting surface.

Attach Silicone Stoppers:

• Place an 8x2 mm silicone stopper on top of each adapter. This will help cushion the glass and hold it in place securely.
• Ensure all stoppers are well positioned on the adapters for even support.

Mount the Glass:

• Carefully place the glass sheet onto the adapters, making sure it rests evenly on the silicone stoppers.
• Gently press down to ensure the glass is secure, with the stoppers preventing direct contact with the adapters for added protection.
