    Haha yeah, measured it all out. 45cm deep and 36 wide from memory, so it will just sit behind the scale and knock box. I'll move the Behmor

    Hmm... just recalled you have a Nurri to come? Time to get out the measuring tape! (Same challenge here).

    Cut out looks great. Can you pop in with your tool box?

    Nice one! Ended up picking up a second hand island on marketplace. Cut into it for the knockbox and scales. Reckon it turned out well!

    JohnA , true. I completely overlooked the PuqPress. I never quite liked those plasticky mats; that's why I wondered about the stand.

    Sorry I did not see your question earlier.

    The cart from Ikea is a "TORNVIKEN island".

    Then from the Decent Espresso website i bought the set of "IKEA Bror wheel bracket set of 4" and "Set of 18 M6 bolts for IKEA BROR Table".

    I then bought a set of industrial castors for the wheels rated at 300kg load capacity.

    I wanted heavy duty wheels because it's amazing how often I wheel it out to clean or change power cables and I wanted to have absolute confidence that it would support a 50kg lever machine (or two).

    I have a Nurri on pre order too ... yay for us!

    lienemann, i purchased it to use instead of the mats, but found that my pesado protafilters where too heavy on the handle end and wouldnt sit there, but would want to fall off. So i sold it and stuck with the mats. Though now that i use the puqpress i really dont need either anymore

    This looks very neat & elegant!

    I like the copper coloured portafilter 'station' as well. I hadn't seen that colour before. Is there a reason you use it in addition to your tamping mats, or is it a matter of what portafilter you use?

    So this is obviously the larger one of the two sizes that the Bror benches come in, right?
    The shorter version already comes with castors, albeit only rated to 60 kilos, I believe.

    This looks really promising! The setup will be a Nurri Leva, EG1 and I'm trying to see if I can fit the Ailio on too..... Thanks so much, this shot really helps

    Everything i've seen on IKEA is for the open BROR system, you wouldnt happen to have a link to this one in particular would you Tom?

    Impressive how small the castors are for 400kg load

    If you go with solid wood and prefer a natural finish, use pure tung oil and cut the first coats with euky for penetration. If done properly it will take anything a coffee machine can dish out for years.

    It doesn't like caustic or paintstripper but it will cope with almost anything else.
