shelving

Does anyone have any experience with Closetmaid Cubeicals? Because I was thinking about using them to fashion a media shelf (a 4x2 laid horizontally, with a 3x2 on top of that, starting at the second cube, and a 3x2 mini on top off that) but I worry about the weight.

It's just going to be filled with DVDs and games -- and quite likely my cat from time to time -- but the units themselves seem kind of heavy. I mean, they SAY they're stackable, but this is going to be a little more than a $100 investment; I'd like to know that they're sturdy enough.

This dyke is strongly in favour of going to a hardware store and buying precut 1x, some corner braces and an electric drill. You can then make shelving to your own specs at a fraction of the cost, it takes very little skill, and afterwards you get to sit back on your heels and feel like you are the God of Carpentry.

Thanks for the suggestion, but you strongly underestimate the degree to which I am lazy. :)

Fair enough. I respect your right to miss out on being an awesome self-sufficient artisan of woodwork. ;)

I have a 3x2 Cubeical that I use as a bookshelf/media center in my bedroom and it's fairly sturdy, but I don't think that they're meant to be connected in that way - the only connector holes I can find on it are on the narrow ends, and the connection method itself doesn't seem that secure anyway. I'd be reluctant to stack even two of them that way.

That's disappointing. I was really hoping to do something like this, only on a bigger scale (and obvs not quite so perfectly uniform if the best I could find was a 4x2, 3x2):

The horrible thing is I think I could do this with wire cubes held together with plastic pieces, but...I'm 30, and kind of think I should be making with the grownup furniture.

The only Closetmaid product I have is their little two-drawer dresser thing, but that keeps falling apart on me. The pieces don't quite fit together and the front of it is always falling off. I mean, I don't know if all their stuff is that low-quality or I just got a bad one or what, but that was my experience with it.
