Formula462 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 WHY DO PEOPLE SHOP THERE!?!? I will never understand it Link to comment
waldoz Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Because when you have 5 kids and single income, good place to get stuff that works. for cheap. I have to say though not good for Saltwater tanks. LOL Link to comment

Nocturnal Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Why that particular unit? If you were to grab a stand with doors you could fairly easily build an internal structure out of 2x4"s that would support all of the actual weight but remain entirely hidden with the doors closed. If you did it right you wouldn't even need to paint anything. Another thought is to look at their TV stands. They tend to be much sturdier than bookshelves, especially the older ones designed for tube TVs. Link to comment
waldoz Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 We are getting the doors so it is possible. The reason we are getting these is they look good with the 50 inch and the wife said I could get a tank so there;p Link to comment
Nocturnal Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey, believe me I understand that part. Yeah so I'd get the doors. cut holes in bottom or remove it altogether and fit over a 2x4" frame. Then modify/reinstall the shelves. I never trust the weight ratings on particle board furniture myself, although I will say that as far as particle board goes Ikea does a good job. Link to comment
