We used IKEA components to build a massive cash wrap counter for our petstore.
Materials:
- 3 x KALLAX 4×2 shelving units (Art no: 202.758.85)
- 2 x KALLAX shelving units (Art no: 202.946.19)
- 1 x KALLAX 5×5 shelving unit (Art no. 703.015.42)
- Frames to cover the back of the 2×4 KALLAX units
- 4″ ABS pipes
- Laminate top
We used 2 of the KALLAX (4 square x 2 square shelves), on their sides. Then a 2×4 frame was attached to the back of them.
Then, two additional units (Art no: 202.946.19) were placed on the back.
We used 4″ ABS pipes for the legs.
For the L section we used another 4 square x 2 square unit.
Then a large piece off plywood was placed on top and after a couple weeks of agony I chose a laminate top.
We used one of the really big units (5×5 KALLAX) behind the desk where we keep sample bags of pet food.
The project was way beyond what we could do on our own, so we did have to hire a contractor. Labor and materials outside of the items we bought from IKEA were significant. I think the entire set up, with the big unit behind us was about $2500. But considering how huge it is, I think it was a great price.
This is at Bobcat Pets in Eugene OR.

Take a look at these other cash wrap counter ideas
#1 Make it pretty
While in the process of opening a retail shop on a very small budget I spent months searching for a cash wrap counter with clean modern lines and portability so that I could easily move it around to suit redecorating, only to find that what I was looking for was well out of my target price range. The perfect solution actually turned out to be the Expedit 4×2 unit in gloss white. Read more.
#2 Make it small
We needed a cash-wrap station with room for supplies but with a small footprint. Since we use a mobile payment system on a tablet computer there is no need for a register to clutter our space. Our Lack-Akurum hack suits our needs and gets quite a few compliments. Read more.
#1 Make it display
We took a HEMNES 8-drawer dresser, black-brown and turned it into a cash counter with shelves to display our products. Read more.
