I think the neighbors would have freaked out more if they caught you burning the couch in the front yard.
I have seen the Expedit in action by a few friends of mine, and one of my friends has moved his 6 times since buying it. Even worse, he takes it up and down stairs every time he moves. It has held up well, and I don't think he even has it tethered to a wall. If Ikea had cheap shipping and handling, I would have ordered one of the small ones no problem. Instead I have a cheap Danish copycat product that I bought at Big Lots as an Office Depot closeout works almost as well. My shelves are bowing a little bit, but that is because they are overloaded right now, but they are 2X2 unit and sit on casters for easy moving, so I can't complain. I also have a 2X4 unit that I use as a dresser.
