Nice! My wife and I love creative uses for IKEA furniture, and I'm a big fan of the EXPEDIT series. Take a look at http://www.ikeafans.com/forums/search.php?do=process&query=expedit&showposts=1 for some other ideas of what people have done with them :-). We ended up putting BONDE in our daughter's room, because we figured the CD drawer would be a BIG need in the future ;-), but the EXPEDIT is a wonderful cost effective solution, esp when combined with some of the pullout baskets/cubes.

I loved the way the top photo has it up on top of the table to make space below it, looks like it just *about* clears the ceiling too.
