What is an IKEA hack?

Essentially, an IKEA hack is a modification/repurposing of an IKEA product. Why I chose to call it a "hack"? In its own little way, it breaks into the IKEA code of furniture assembly and repurposes, challenges and creates with surprising results. Furniture may be destroyed in the process and/or the structural integrity of the furniture and its safety standards may be compromised. Hacking has its risk. Don't say you're not warned. ;)
