Funny, while I was assembling it I thought about
what would be needed to
move it to our basement (which is where everything
will end up once the
basement is finished).
The idea of moving it as one piece made me cringe.
Wondered if it could be
pulled apart in one piece. Well, after spending the
thousands of dollars
it's going to take to finish the basement, what's
another $200?
I destroyed a sofa once on Halloween night to get it
out of our old
apartment. People caught me with a handsaw, a
hammer, and a borrowed
hatchet in the hallway hacking away at the sofa -
FREAKED them out.

I had a 5x5 bin Expedit in my old apartment, but
then I had to
literally destroy it, breaking the thing into
pieces because it
wouldn't fit down the stairs. I learned my lesson
and got the same
configuration as Tristan, three 2x4 bin units. I
have mine stacked
two side by side vertical with the third perched
(only somewhat
precariously) atop them on its side. I live in a
relatively small new
york one bedroom with my girlfriend though so we
must go vertical to
use every inch of space. I'm pretty short, but
I'm used to a 34"
height table for my DJ gear, so the expedit on its
side would be a
little low but serviceable as a "booth". They'd
be especially low for
anybody who is tall.
I did have an incident with the 5x5 when one of
the shelves broke, but
that's because somebody got drunk and toppled into
the expedit, using
the shelf as a brace. Under normal use the
shelves seem sturdy
enough. I would recommend them highly.

What shelf unit did you have?
This is the one I just put up and it seems
very solid - although it
does
recommend that you only put 28.6 pounds/13 kg
per shelf (I'm sure
mine is
overloaded but I'm going to keep my eye on it)

I've got three of the 2x4 cube Expedits laying
horizontally, so I
needn't
worry about being crushed, and half the records
are on the hefty bottom
shelf this way. It works for me. They fit
2x1200+Xone:32 nicely on top
as
well. The third one also wound up forming a
U-shaped partition for my
studio, which is also part dining room (against
my will, err, via
compromise). ;)
