Lovely!

Elegant in its simplicity nova. Good show.

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand why people buy Expedit shelf for CDJs. Expedit is pretty much perfect for records, but totally useless otherwise imo due its poor build quality.

Thanks guys, though it was all Hi-Def. I just thought some red bits in there would spice it up

LJay - I have TTs and some records too (not enough to fill the Expedit), but depending where I keep the setup, it will just be good storage. Also, the height is great when paired with the counter top and risers so that may be another reason why the Expedit is being used.

they are adding posts and such to it to actually make it work as a dj booth/stand. if you had actually looked through the pictures you perhaps could understand that? I think they look great, IDK about stability but they look grand. Shipping from Ikea for something like that is so expensive, I want to build something like that...the nearest Ikea is in Atlanta, not too bad of a drive, when I am in GA. I may have to go to Ikea to take a look soon.

how is the stability?

I think it's fine. The Expedit is hefty enough, but the countertop is solid. Might be a different story if you mounted the counter so it was really hanging over the front edge, but I centered it over the bookshelf.

I have a question about the Ikea stainless steel legs. I get that you screw them at the bottom but what about at the top. Do you just glue it? How do you mount it without having a screw come out of the top side of your upper shelf?

[novadnb]

The screws supplied with the angled legs are short enough to not come through the counter top. If you picked a thinner top you might have to measure to make sure the screws aren't too long. The top piece/laptop stand legs screw into the underside of the shelf, and nothing on the other side. They're just furniture risers, so the top shelf just rests on the main counter top.
