Mandal headboard as wall decor

For my first official post, here is something I found over at AT-NYC today. The IKEA Mandal headboard has been hacked as a bookshelf as well as a display wall.

I wonder if it could carry enough weight to function as kitchen storage. Imagine if, instead of a wall of cabinets, you had this for storage, and had added hooks to store all of your kitchen items that you use most frequently.

It would also work well in the bedroom for someone like me. If I can't see everything I have, I forget that it even exists. A bedroom that had every wall covered in these, with hacks to add hang bars for clothes would be my ideal.
