I designed my whole stamp room with elfa shelving!
I have:
-1 wall full of shelves
-a free standing elfa that has the small (5" or 6" ? depth) shelves on top and the desktop set at 34" high with shelving below
-a set of drawers with a top that is 40-something inches high (?)
-and more shelving in a corner.
I love it all except I am a very spread-out-everything kind of stamper and so quickly filled up all horizontal space since I didn't really have a DESKTOP type surface. Then....I discovered....IKEA
Kept all the elfa and added an IKEA "hacked" table--their biggest tabletop supported by two 4 cube Expedit bookcases with 6" legs attached to bring up the height. LOL
I then added an 8 cube Expedit with desk extension (also has the 6" legs attached to bring up to height!) I need to post pics...I might have added them to my gallery last year ? LOL!! IF I haven't I'll update my blog tonight with my stamp room so you can see!)
But....to answer your questions....LOVE the elfa!
I love how open it is and that I can SEE everything!
