red dirt Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I searched, but didn't find this topic already. I'm interested in hearing the community's thoughts on this modular shelving option---seems a bit pricey, but an attractive alternative to Ikea shelves. -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/306095760/grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 extremely expensive and not at all space efficient, but I can see people buying these. At least it's not an expedit clone. AND thanks for reminding me to check in on our other kickstarter pal. weinerdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND thanks for reminding me to check in on our other kickstarter pal. This but I don't think the Ikea Mafia will be loosing sleep over it though, they might make a more cost effective version though. That said I like the idea but don't see where the cost comes from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmEff Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I like it, but it is very expensive for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 This just looks like a bunch of record storage boxes with the sides cut out and stacked on top of each other. I thought this was a joke at first. They should probably paint the brown parts white, so it doesn't look so cheesy. It also looks like a house of cards. I will stick with my Expedit.

kjkenney Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Neat idea, but when will people realize that there are other materials in this world for building furniture than MDF board. Doug Fir has about 5 times the compressive strength and is still wicked cheap. Also......DJ Soapstone lololol Requiescat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I saw this last week, I actually think it's a great idea. It does save some space (not a lot) but the modular aspect is neat. Then I saw the prices. Requiescat and weinerdog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardcore Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I thought of Q bert too. This thing would be infinitely swankier if they Q berted it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm dating myself, but makes me think of this... Initial idea aswell. I'd rather build my own and paint it like this. I do like the idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm with you there. I sell lumber for a living. Damn I'm on the side where I just buy it for a living selling building materials has always seemed like an awesome job to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Not a bad idea, but not into the look of it or the price. http://www.freeqbert.org/ vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
