Ikea's Expedit


Recommended Posts

Appears to no longer be made in the color that I already have. And I need a new one. Two different colored ones in the same room is going to look stupid. What the hell do I do now? Mine's brown, but much darker than "birch" and waaaay lighter than black-brown.

try going to the store. They often have different stuff than website

yeah, you might luck out.

thats weird that they got rid of that color. its more of a natural wood tone, my friend has two of them.

sucks cuz i totally understand where your coming from, i HATE when the furniture doesnt match.

saw them in the sore last week and now i finally have a place to store demos/zines/other various stuff.

i also need to upgrade my 4x4 unit to a 5x5, i have no more room left.

This is awesome!

I also picked up this (in white):http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70106814 to mount on the wall for 7"s.

That's a good idea too. I could get one and just set it on top of my 4x4 Expidit.

i thought about getting something like this too, but the weight of records get pretty heavy, and i would die if they came crashing down.

Yeah, yer either gonna have to paint both your old Expedit and the new one you buy or get two new Expedits.

Personally, I'd just get new Expedits and sell what you have, because I wouldn't want to waste my time on that, however, thats your call to make.

Either that or just go with mis-matching furntiure, but thats pretty ugly.

I just want a small shelf for my small record collection, not this monster of one. Any suggestions?

There's a 2x4 Expidit too.

Link? I can't find it.

You can't repaint plastic-coated fiberboard. It'll look absolutely horrible. If this was made of real wood you could sand it down and stain it, but come on, the shelf is only $100. Sell yours to someone nearby, go buy two matching ones.

Those little drawers are pretty hot. I'ma have to buy two of those. I have some LEKMAN boxes now, which I dig. But the drawers are the hotness.

we need another unit for vinyl collective but it costs more to ship it than the actual unit costs. if anyone wants to drive one to Denver, get in touch! It sucks that Ikea doesn't have cheaper shipping options.

Every few days I randomly think about starting a thread on here asking about this particular shelf and if anyone has one, but I always forget about it by the time I get to the computer.

Anyway, how many LP's does that shelf hold?
