It's a little easier to see how we made the change now. The layout on the left is how the Expedit is supposed to look, according to IKEA, and the layout on the right is what we did to make it fit our needs. The small red lines are the small shelf dividers, and the long green lines are the long shelf dividers.
The black thick lines are the outside borders of the Expedit. And yes, I know that sounds confusing, so I made you a diagram. Instead of doing another short shelf and then a long shelf, we did the opposite - a long shelf and then a short shelf. We put on the first short shelf, then the first long shelf, and then this is the point where we made some changes. We followed the normal directions on setting up the Expedit unit, by attaching one of the long sides to one of the short sides first. To solve this, we decided to hack the unit, which didn't require any power tools or saws, which for Dylan, meant that it was perfect! However, the cubbies aren't exactly wide enough for a DVD player, and likely not wide enough for your Cable or Satellite box either, as those are typically around 15" and the cubbies are about 13".
The fact that it had all of these little cubbies to put our DVDs and video game consoles was perfect.

One of the things that I like the most about IKEA furniture is that not only does it have clean modern lines and awesome colors, but they all have the potential to be hacked! There is an entire website dedicated to hacking IKEA furniture, and I'm no stranger to hacking, myself, as you'll remember my Orgel lamps that I hacked to add fabric shades.Įver since I began designing the Family Room, I knew that I wanted the IKEA Expedit as the TV stand.
