If you’ve ever walked through an IKEA before, you know that they’re filled with some of the more well-designed and inexpensive raw materials you can repurpose for your project. I’m always thinking “Is that a plastic refrigerator container or cool modern project enclosure?” So, if you’re looking for something to prop up your fancy new tablet, you might want to check out this IKEA kitchen handle iPad stand by maker Theo Gough.

You can get a much more versatile stand for $15 from monoprice..
Fun repurposing, I love IKEA for getting ideas and bits and bobs as well.
