Aha, well it would work, but it might look a bit "old-fashioned" after all. I converted a large Expedit into a "wardrobe" for my daughter by putting Kvartal rail sliding curtains in front as doors. She thinks it's really cool, especially since it's under her loft bed and has thus become her "walk-in" wardrobe. She is 9 now, and if her taste changes again, the sliding curtains can be quickly replaced and an Expedit can also be used as a normal shelf again.... Is it a son or a daughter in your case?
