Expedit or equivalent: 3x4 squares

I have a place I would lke to have something like expedit. I want more storage than the 2x4 but don't have enough room for the 4x4. Any way to hack a 3x4 or is there some solution ready made that's similar?

Re: Expedit or equivalent: 3x4 squares

I watched this thread hoping for a revelation. But it never happened. So I'm now depending on you to break new ground. Go for it and post after pictures.

enjoy!

west elm has a 3x4 that looks just like the lack if you don't mind spending the extra money.

Re: Expedit or equivalent: 3x4 squares

How about three of the new 1x5 Expedit side by side? Although slightly more expensive than a single 4x4, it's still hundreds less than the previous suggestion.

Re: Expedit or equivalent: 3x4 squares

The sides of the Expedit are of honeycomb construction, so alas, it's not going to lend itself to easy hacking.
