Moving into an apartment, going to build a nice setup but need building ideas/help! Posted on: 06.08.2013 by Letty Veino I am 6'6" so I would like to do an Ikea style setup but I just don't see the Expedit being tall enough unless I add about 5 levels to it haha..I don't know if anyone here has and good table ideas/creative ideas that they want to throw my way, help is appreciated. I am trying to do a full setup, table, lights etc, I want it to be very aesthetically pleasing! Thanks everyone! | |

I'm going to start uploading stuff to soundcloud and I'll be putting that in my sig, still playing in the bedroom and havent played out much yet. |

Now its just an old speaker I dont use. On top of that, is a 2x4 expedit that is actually only 1x4 on its side with half of it covered. It holds my records. The bottom has been raised up so that the tops of the records stick out. Expedit furniture is a DJs dream. |

| Normand Kaminsky 07.08.2013 | sometimes living in alaska sucks!!! ikea wont ship here so we are SOL on building anything like this |
| Sonja Roybal 07.08.2013 | Build a table on top of the desk with a Vika Amon tabletop and bed legs. |

Theres an LED bar in behind it that puts on a nice light show. I use it as a dry erase board when Im playing around trying to find tracks that match. |

| Monserrate Rupnow 07.08.2013 | A desk that raises to whatever height you need? http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=74245 |
| Brunilda Kora 07.08.2013 | I'm 6'2", and have a single 4x2 expedit, with TWO table tops stacked on top of it, and NO legs beneath the expedit - and that raises my decks to perfect scratching height (for me). At 6'6", I recon your best bet is to go for something like a 4x2 expedit, with a Lck Tv Shelf on top (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40105340/) and then put a table top on top of teh lack, and a couple of legs at the back... Maybe stick some legs (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50205198/) on the bottom if it's still not high enough... |
