I'm in the same boat with my sonicare...the issue is that the batteries are not meant to be "deep cycled". I think you'll see that your toothbrush will start to hold less and less of a charge.

I'm down to two brushings worth in about 9 months time...

I've been using Ikea for exactly this purpose for my last two apartments, but you need to think a bit "outside the box"

Instead of using what Ikea labels as bookshelves, I've been using the Akurum kitchen wall cabinet boxes as shelving units / entertainment centers for the following reasons:

1. Way more sizes than the Billy bookcase series. And if you choose to use doors– many more options!

2. Even if you have limited "how-to" skills its still pretty easy to trim them out to make them look like built-ins. I haven't gotten around to trimming out the ones in my new apartment, and they still look decent enough.

3. I usually put 6" Capita legs (12 bucks for a set of 4) on the bottom. My vacuum fits underneath and it gives a modern appearance.

4. Depth without a door is only approx. 12.5 inches. I've only had small NYC apartments and most TV Stands are about 16 inches. Those extra inches can make a big difference.

5. Inexpensive and Sturdy when put together properly. My current "TV stand" is 60 inches wide x 18 inches tall on stainless legs (fits perfectly where I want it) looks decent (not trimmed out yet) and only cost about 50 bucks. If you do go the built-in route you may not even feel bad about leaving them behind.

Hope this helps,
Bobby
