TFP Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have one. I haven't moved it since I got it. The plus side over the expedit is that it has a back and it's a cheap alternative. I don't know how sturdy it'd be if you stacked it when you ran out of room in the first one. It's served me well. I'm getting a 2x4 expedit or building a shelf soon. Oh and getting a new table as well haha. Thanks for the help sfish521! It looks like the records fit well in them (no outside overhang) is that true? Is the depth more than 12"s?

minor incident Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, it gives the dimensions online. The cubes are roughly 15"x15"x15" These things are reeeeeally flimsy, FYI. If you try to move them or stack them or anything, they're going to basically fall apart. They're hard to recommend over the nearly identical (but FAR sturdier) Expedit of the same size. I think the Expedit might even be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 2-2.5 inches. Yes, it gives the dimensions online. The cubes are roughly 15"x15"x15" These things are reeeeeally flimsy, FYI.

I think the Expedit might even be cheaper. I put brackets on each of the corners of mine just to be safe. I don't trust any store bought/mass produced furniture without a little bit of extra to protect my stuff. minor incident 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aych Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can anybody tell me if this storage from Amazon is any good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000O1APF0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1369139238&sr=8-2π=SL75 I looked on Ikea but could not find one like this. Right now this is all I would need... IKEA does carry a 2x1 Expedit, but for some reason, they're not listed online. I've seen them in-store, or at least in the Atlanta store. If I remember correctly, they're $29.99 or somewhere close to that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QUA1L Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Filled up my 2x2 Expedit. Work sent me out of town so I made use of my spare time one evening by picking up a 4x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 finally reorganized a couple weeks ago. i picked up a crate which was beyond necessary.. we had about 20-25 records just lined up on the floor because we were completely out of room. and it's amazing how much better it looks having just turned each crate sideways.

PostVillasBlues2K Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Finally upgraded. Just set these up tonight. Very nice looking. However, wouldn't it be more secure to have the 4x2 standing upright with the 2x2 on the floor? Same configuration, just easier to anchor (if you wish to do so). It's been a while since I set up my 4x2 but I think it's supposed to support its load in that position anyway. moonbeams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Shane Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah, the space was literally just enough to fit the 4x2, so putting them side by side would not have worked because there would have been an inch or 2 of overhang and I couldn't have that because it's between 2 doors.

Right now I have: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon w/ Shure m97xe cartridge Marantz PM5004 integrated amplifier Sony CDP-C30 5 CD changer Sony SS-U620AV floorstanding speakers (not pictured) It's modest but it suits me very well for now.
