Follow along as I replace the make shift countertop on my Ikea KALLAX Island. The top I used is really not ideal as the marble look contact paper would not hold up to scrapes and hot temperatures. I decided to buy a real laminate EKBACKEN countertop from IKEA to install as a fully functional top for my island. This was a super easy job, and the results are impressive. It makes this DIY island a truly substantial and AMAZING piece of furniture for my kitchen needs!
