So I began thinking....I can't use this in the living room. What if I moved it to the computer room instead of the 3x3 cube. It's more of a server rack looking thing, and would hold the PC, VCR and laser printer, so we'll throw it there. We'll use the 3x3 cube in the living room, and 2x2 cube in the bedroom.
And as I'm assembling the 3x3 cube, I'm realizing there's not enough room for the PC, VCR and some of the Video Game Shrine on top, so that wouldn't work either. And then I thought, maybe if I take the 2x4 shelving, and turn it on it's side, it's now 4x2 shelving, and suddenly I had enought room for everything.
SWEET.
But now I have that 3x3 cube, and no place for it. So I threw it against the back wall, and I'll hope I find something I can eventually use it for.
The moral of the story? Freaking measure everything before you buy from IKEA, or get ready to think super creatively.
