You're quite correct about the Lack. They're cheap as hell (15 bucks at time of writing?), but as a result quite manipulatable, such as creating 3d printer enclosures [0]. You can see some of their insides as they go through the process.

The LACK RACK https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=eth0.nl

Though I'm also going to point out that a LACK side table ($13 now) for 8 years is a rather good deal.

The internals are revealed on the Ikea page too: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-side-table-black-brown-801...

Now that I look Finnish prices it is surprising. The coffee table is 40/50€, tv stand is 15€. Side table 8€ or 10€ for next size.

Okay those cheap ones make sense, but for coffee table it is robbery...

The "enterprise edition" is more than three times as expensive, while providing less stability than two of the regular products combined.

I made a Lego table out of one Lack end table, four Lego baseplates and some rubber cement. The baseplates cost about 2x what the table did.
