Ikea Expedit Bookcase Reviews

The Ikea Expedit storage system is as flexible as the imagination of the buyer. It's available in a whole host of different sizes, differing only in the number of square blocks of space that they provide. The smallest is a single square unit, the largest is a square of 25 blocks and there are many different sizes in ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the Ikea Expedit range of storage. I think it's relatively cheap, looks good and great at it's job. I began with the small 2x2 Expedit, in white, which cost £20. It's worth noting that the basic colours are £20 but as with most Ikea stuff, the price goes up with the colour (high gloss for example would be ...  Read the complete review

Being a student on a very low budget I needed something that would accommodate a number if things from records, books, figurines and even drawers - as soon as I laid eyes on the expedit book case unit I fell in love and bought it straight away.

- Why I Bought - I have recently become a bit obsessed with Ikea Expedit shelving units. My obsession started when we moved into the furnished house we are currently renting and there was a large Expedit unit in the living room. I had so much fun organising the sixteen shelves and found it to be a great use of space. I have since ...  Read the complete review

These bookcases are very popular and come in a variety of different colours and sizes however this is the largest single unit. The construction is quite straightforward but takes time and is probably best done by two people rather than one. It is very useful that not all of the cubby holes have to be used as shelves as Ikea ...  Read the complete review

When we moved to our new house I was very happy to have a 2nd room downstairs that could be used for the children to play in, to keep my living room looking quite nice and uncluttered rather than being taken over by all the children's things. However I still wanted the children's playroom to look nice and organised too so we ...  Read the complete review

As a collector of records ... yes the old kind 12"s and 7"s I have always been recommended the Ikea Expedit because of the fact the sections are the perfect size to accommodate them. Basically the only thing putting me off getting one sooner was the extremely high cost of delivery from Ikea which can be up to £30 so I ...  Read the complete review

I have two of the white Ikea Expedit '4 hole' cube shelving units in our bathroom. I use them to store and display towels, and some of the nicer toiletries and bits and bobs in the bathroom. I chose the Expedit shelving units in white as I already have an Ikea Malm chest of drawers in white in the bathroom and so I wanted the items to ...  Read the complete review

Last month was the month I was going to change, not myself but the very drab bedroom that needed some kind of a makeover therapy. A trip to Ikea was on the cards and off we went. At first I struggled to find a suitable bookcase or storage solution until last minute at the checkout where I spotted this 'Expedit series book / storage type ...  Read the complete review

I have quite a reasonable sized bedroom but I have always longed for a walk in wardrobe that I never got. Ikea had on their website about 5 months a go, storage ideas and ways to create a walk in wardrobe without building any walls. Instantly I got searching and measuring to find items which I could use. In the end I brought ...  Read the complete review

Having just moved into my first little flat all of my own, a trip to a Ikea for some reasonably priced yet practical furniture was a must! I specifically needing some shelving for my living room in order to store the DVDs that were previously in precarious piles on the floor.

Several years ago we had to make a move abroad at short notice as my husband got a job offer we couldn't afford to turn down. So we had three months to sell our house, find somewhere to rent, find a removals company, organise the move and learn some basic French and German. We also made the move from a teeny two bed ex-council ...  Read the complete review

Our last bookshelf was completely bursting at the seams so we needed something new. With the new Ikea opening we decided to take a look there. Initially I was not taken by this product. To look at it seems bulky and intrusive. I must admit I did walk past without even a second look to begin with. I am a fan of your ...  Read the complete review

This storage unit has been and absolute lifesaver and i have to say a fantastic buy. We bought this unit 18 months ago primarily to have in our lounge, we bought the biggest size with ...  Read the complete review

Storage is a big issue in our house, mainly due to the fact that we don't have enough of it. I suppose no-one ever has enough, but there comes a point when I get very tired of seeing toys all over the lounge floor, bursting through boxes and spilling onto clear space. I have been looking around for a suitable solution for quite a ...  Read the complete review

A few years back it was decided that I needed more storage in my bedroom. Living at home with my parents while in my late 20s can cause problems... mainly that they have their belongings spread throughout the house, where as mine are contained within my (not so big) bedroom. When you're a hoarder, a film lover and a book reader, it's ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend and I are just about to move into a new place and when we looked around the flat, they had divided the open planned kitchen and living room with this wonderful bookcase. It had created such a great look that we went to ikea as soon as we had signed for the property to snap up our own to go in the same place. The ...  Read the complete review

Having just moved house, I found myself in the lucky position, of having two living rooms. So, for the first time in my life, I was going to have a kids playroom, leaving the other living room as a nice 'adult only' space. Now, if you have moved house recently, you will know how much stuff you find that you had previously ...  Read the complete review

There's an "old" German proverb invented late in the last century, which when translated goes "Idiots'll Buy Just About Anything", the original being something like"Idioten kaufen eben alles"*, which by some strange perchance happens to spell IKEA when abbreviated! *Pardon my A-Level German from ...  Read the complete review
