Ikea expedit book shelf black3/8/2024 This was after we had already bought & refinished Clara’s changing table/dresser so the comment stuck with me, thinking I’d fallen into some first-time parent booby trap. I remember before Clara was born a co-worker told me that changing tables were unnecessary since you usually end up changing the kid wherever is most convenient – like on the floor or the nearest piece of furniture – rather than going through the formality of walking all the way to the nursery. Just have to get into a groove and make sure that you take your time when assembling them.One more thing can be crossed off the ol’ nursery to-do list! Changing table? Check! Definitely recommend these! While they do take a little bit of time to assembly, by the second one I had no problem whatsoever. I used the Kassett storages boxes in conjunction to make the storage more streamlined. I went out on a limb and hoped that this would work and it does! It holds our television, cable box, xbox, wii, video games, dvds and a variety of other objects. I wasn't able to find a stand that would hold my 50" television that was a nice piece for a reasonable piece of money. They are sturdy and have withstood a great deal of use! The other shelf I use as a TV stand. ![]() It comprises of two of the 8 hole standing up straight, with the 5 hole laying down long ways and a clothing rod screwed into the two 8 hole. Three of them I have put together as a walk-by closet due to the lack of space in my apartment. I have the 8 hole bookshelf as well as the 5. I have 4 of the Expedit bookshelves from Ikea, two different types. I love this bookcase and would recommend it to people who need something that is realatively cheap. The 2x4 can be put together in less than thirty minutes. It is pretty simple to put together, and does not take a long time. ![]() The book case comes in a variety of finishes, which means it can fit with any decore.Īs with all Ikea items, you have to keep in mind that you need to put it together. It is very sturdy and I have not had an issue with it being wobbly. The expedit bookcase is made of solid material. One thing I love about the 2 x 4 is that I can I can rotate it and get different looks. It is great for setting books and other decorations on. I also have another 2x4 in the family room. It has nice clean lines and fits well in the room. It is great for organizing toys, books, and other items. I just may buy another one for my bedroom to use as a headboard. Not because I needed it but because it was available to me. Once fully loaded with heavy books gliding across a tile floor without any help. I have moved this unit after it was fully assembled three times. You will definitely need help to stand it up I tried but just could not do it. There are a lot of pieces involved but worth the effort. It's easier with help but not impossible without. You may need someone to help you assemble it because of the weight on the support ends. It's easy to maintan with a damp cloth and light pressure dusting. It makes a nice looking room divider too. I usually place the heavier items on the bottom of the unit. ![]() It's very sturdy and can hold a lot of items. I liked this shelf so much I am buying an additional one (similar model) to use as an entertainment system in the rec room. The material it is made from cannot be painted, it won't adhere properly, but like I said, I found ways around that. The only thing I think I would change about it is if it were "paintable". It's nice because at the end of the day now it is easy for them to clean up all of their art supplies and projects. I have two daughters and they claimed their spaces on the shelf right away. I would say from opening the box to shelf assembled in about 8 minutes. It did take me and my husband working together to assemble it, but it was very quick and easy. They now offer it in more colors than they did when I purchased it (the white one), but with baskets and paper, the color of the unit doesn't really matter. The decorating options are endless as are the organizational properties. I like how the backs are open so on the shelves where I don't have baskets, I have put really pretty scrapbook paper secured with painters tape behind them. It can hang on the wall if you would like with secure fasteners, and looks super-cool that way if I do say so myself.
