Re: Interesting clues from what Ikea are discontinuing.
Unfortunately, people who buy these IKEA frames , buy by price , they also like Black or White, so unless you can match the very low price, I wouldn't bother.
Saying that, nearly all my mounts I sell online are for these very frames, so I make a living that way

Re: benches made to size
I would make them to the standard 18mm MDF board sizes, that way the customer does not have to trim the board down by 10mm, and the board will drop into place
