Target Cube Storage Hack Media Console

For a while now, I have wanted a record player and when I found a fully functional one on the street, I had to have it! I also had to find a prime location to display it. I needed something with a specific size and shape to fit my small living space. Instead of buying something new, I decided I would try a Target cube storage hack. By upgrading an inexpensive piece that I already owned, I was able to save money, and add my own finishes to it.

What You’ll Need:

Cube storage unit
4 bun feet
2 wooden boards that are at least the hight and width of the unit.
Jigsaw
Wood stain
4 hinges (you need these)
Drill
cabinet knobs (I used these)

Measure and Cut | Target Cube Storage Hack

Start with a cube storage unit. I used this one from Target. Assemble it according to package directions. Next, measure and cut the wood so that the doors will be flush when closed. I used a jigsaw for this part and I had to be extra careful to keep a straight line while cutting.

Stain and Install | Target Cube Storage Hack

Stain your wooden doors and bun feet and let it dry completely. I used this stain.

Install the doors by drilling on the hinges. Sand edges as needed. Drill 4 even holes in the bottom of the cube and screw in feet. Using a drill and drill bit, make two evenly spaced holes on the top of each door for the cabinet knobs. Finally, install the knobs.
