Well, that's not good news. I had just bought one of the Expedit shelving units last year. I needed something to put more LPs in. So I bought one that had 8 cubbies.
I like it. I went to the Ikea store to check it out and it was fairly solid. The price wasn't outrageous either. Now I actually need more space and I want another one. I'll have to make sure I get over there soon. The last time I was there they were out of some models. Maybe with the change-over they won't replenish stock.
