dreamover Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Was at Wal-Mart last night for the first time in years. (I hate wal-mart). And noticed some shelving that looks just like the expedit. In person, and by looking at the dimensions, it looks like the cubes are close or the same size. I'd double check before buying one, but this might be good news to those of you nowhere near an ikea. they seem a bit more expensive than similar-sized expedits. looks like they come in 1 x 3, 1 x 4, 2 x 4, and 2 x 2 1 x 3: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-3-Cube-Organizer-with-Optional-Storage-Bins-Mutliple-Options/34527401?findingMethod=Recommendation:wm:RecentlyViewedItems 1 x 4: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-4-Cube-Organizer-with-Optional-Storage-Bins-Multiple-Options/34527400?findingMethod=Recommendation:wm:RecentlyViewedItems 2 x 2: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Square-4-Cube-Organizer-Espresso/29741114?action=product_interest&action_type=image&placement_id=irs_middle&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id=67523803402&category=0%3A4044%3A103150%3A97116%3A91849&client_guid=cbf0b55c-e72f-4235-bb61-ccf2bf8a884b&config_id=2&parent_item_id=29741111&guid=89270162-cdd2-4c31-8c0f-09fb7ec333e8&bucket_id=irsbucket011&findingMethod=p13n 2 x 4: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-8-Cube-Organizer-Espresso/29741111 edit: found a few reviews of people that say it's exactly like the expedit and they use it for vinyl. also, i think wal-mart offers free shipping to many locations. smailtronic, thesecrets0308, TFP and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorbusiness138 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Although I also hate going to Wally World, I might have to check this out as they are way closer than Ikea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 i wonder if they can hold the same type of weight as an expedit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Wow. They look nice in photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That unit Target used to carry is far nicer than any Expedit I owned. I did however go in person to see it since I was dubious about buying any furniture from a store like this. No issues after a good three years and I sort of regret not getting a second.

Rip Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Oh damn. I'll have to start checking my local Walmart for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 i wonder if they can hold the same type of weight as an expedit. they don't make any of the really big ones, and they look just as sturdy in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 they don't make any of the really big ones, and they look just as sturdy in person. I sure hope you're right. I may be in the market for one of these soon. Looks can be deceiving. That black ice I nearly busted my ass on earlier in the week LOOKED like water.

kamalatapes Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I saw this at my Wal Mart I didn't think the measurements added up though judging from the "inbox" of their drawers that went with it. Super good price though! Even if someones using it just for 10"s and 7"s and Cassettes or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super good price though! Even if someones using it just for 10"s and 7"s and Cassettes or whatever well you might've been looking at the wrong shelves. the dimensions are about 1/4 inch less for the 1 x 4. so the cubes are about 1/16th inch smaller or the outer pieces are a bit shorter. probably the outer pieces. people in the reviews say it holds their vinyl. some people even say they use cubes and drawers from expedit and they fit.

I looked all over the furniture section and didn't find any. After eventually finding a employee to help me they were stocked up in front of the store in the seasonal section.

After eventually finding a employee to help me they were stocked up in front of the store in the seasonal section. Ah! Thanks a lot! Yeah I was looking back around the DVD/CD/bookshelves. I'll have to look again up front next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
