You can see mine here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/mission...e-t212058.html

To make a smaller one, just use one book case (for example, in the second pic, just the one on the far left end). That size would be about 30" wide and 15" deep. Depending on room, you could use the top as is or add a top anywhere from that size to a few inches larger all around.
Oh that looks great! I am envious! I just wish we had a Ikea close by
