If you have the Expedit from Ikea....

can you measure the inside of the cubbies for me?  

We're trying to decide about building something custom, or just getting a couple of these....but we already have a lot of totes, that it still may not be cheaper if I have to replace all those.

Thanks!

I think I might.  Do you have a link to it.

I have it, but am too lazy to go upstairs to measure.  According to IKEA's website, the bins that fit in the cubbies are 13 high x 13 wide x 14.5 deep.  HTH

Ciarri- thanks....I'm looking for actual measurements because the I have are a little deeper, so I'm trying to figure out if they will fit, or hang over too much.

I can measure for you once I get off this conference call...hold please.

I'm a bonehead. I'm sorry.  I guess the overall depth is 15 3/8"....which would answer my question. gah! 

thanks girls.

I was just about to run up and measure it.  I had a contractor here measuring for new floors and was waiting on him to leave.  Glad you found it.

If you can build something custom and already have totes, just design your piece to fit the totes.  DH built a bookcase for me and measured the totes we were already using to make sure they would fit appropriately.  I love it because he also designed it with a shelf tall enough to fit some of the more awkward toys that don't fit in totes.  It sits next to our fireplace and it looks like a built-in.

Leo - that's the plan.  I was just checking to see if a pre-fab was an option.  I already have it designed and out for quotes from a couple of H's friends.
