Sagging
This is exactly what I want to make with this plan, but are you worried about sagging in the middle. Did you put extra support underneath?

I did actually add two
I did actually add two supports to the bottom with scrap 2x2's. I knew that this piece would house lots of books, a tv and possibly have a couple of little girls climbing on it. :-)

Stupid Question
Sorry it's me again, my husband and I have decided to use your model for our cube shevles and I just want to verify to get the new dimensions you just doubled the legths for the top, the shelves and and the side shelf trim correct? We are new builders and just want to get everything as close to right as we can! Thanks!

Not a problem at all, I don't
Not a problem at all, I don't mind answering questions. Yes, I just doubled the length of the original plan. If you click on my picture, my user info should come up and you can email me and I'd be happy to talk to you in a more direct fashion about this project and if I still have it on my computer in the form of a sketch up file, I will share more details with you. Maybe even a cut list and shopping list. I build everything in sketch up first. :-)
If you have any troubles contacting me, let me know and I will just get you my email on here. :-)

what ive been looking for!
This is exactly what ive been looking for toy storage in my living room! Is it possible to take off the tiny legs, and just keep the entire thing on the floor? I was looking to add some cushions on the top for seating as well. Will it be able to support the weight?
