EXPEDIT wardrobe with plants
Materials: plants Wxpedit, Dampa, Bigarra, Ikea
description:
1) Assemble 4 × 4 EXPEDIT with a single vertical row of shelves on the left and without the background.
2) Before adding the right vertical panel set two screws that stand half an inch to take the DAMPA curtain rod.
3) Cut the stem at the right size, implement, add the right panel.
4) Add three EXPEDIT inserts with doors on the left.
5) Add plants in pots BIGARRA on top.
assembly, it is faster than the assembly of all Expedit.
This cabinet is great for creating a semi-transparent division between the entrance and the living room.

A. The student's version of
Updated August 30, 2012
Materials: Expedit shelving unit (white 5 × 5), Hugad curtain rod (black, 210 - 385cm), x2 long bolts with nuts, x5 box Drono (black)
description: I was going to do something similar to this, but decided it was too small for all my clothes so I upped to 5 × 5 version. I went with the cheapest options (white shelving unit and Drona boxes) are probably what I went with aesthetically anyway.
The instructions in the previous post covers just about what I will refer to this, but there are a few things I did differently:
1. It is worth mentioning the wooden pegs used to keep the interior shelving units together. The pegs are in the outer frame are fine as they are, but the other (photo 2) must be shortened to prevent them from projecting into the rail area. Easy to do with a few minutes of sawing before hammering them in.
2. I drilled a hole through both sides of the outer frame and used thick 3 "bolts with nuts for holding the rail rather than a screw decorated. I thought it would be safer , I think it is.
3. I also used the bottom for stability. I think it looks better anyway. Bit confused as to why they use not the other post tbh ..
Two things I would do differently if I did it again.
1. Maybe use a stronger curtain rail in because of the length, it will bends slightly in the middle. not a problem and hardly noticeable but depends if you are really bothered about maintaining impeccable straight lines.
2. Use wood glue on each dowel hammer you. I've had no problems yet, but the top shelf may end up losing years of integrity on the line. Belt and braces, etc.
easy peasy.
