I’ve just picked up some IKEA Ivar drawers for the study but the bottoms have sagged and need replacing. I could just replace with another 3mm sheet of hardboard but I’d prefer something that could take some actual weight in the drawers as this is for the study.
I’m thinking of replacing the hardboard with something like ply which should be strong, and most likely attaching a baton underneath too. The question is has anyone done this, and would 4mm ply be a good improvement over 4mm hardboard, or should I go up to 6mm (which would involve digging out the router and widening the channels)?
