Recommended shelving?

Detolf is the answer you'll hear most often, and for good reason.

You can get them on sale occasionally. They have had half-off sales on them very very occasionally (and of course they sell out incredibly quickly).

They're sturdy, reliable, and compare well with most of what you'll find in your average furniture store.

They actually look perfect, just the right thing you want for your collection (at least I want a pair of these for mine). And they are indeed $150...I don't know what KS means by "problem" but I reckon that's a great price for a all glass cabinet.

That's $300 added to my budget expenditure next year.

That's exactly what I want! And so cheap! Ikea trip coming soon. Thanks guys. Knowing the name is a big help too.

well this is my shelving, it's a little dark at night and bare due to the packing that has commenced but you get the idea, I have decided to add some LED strip lighting in the future to brighten it up a little.

Cool. Have you added those doors?

The doors are an optional extra, there are several types to choose from. the default shelves are wooden, and the glass ones were extra, but totally worth it. you'll note that the middle shelf is still wood. it's fixed as a part of the structure of the cabinet.

@UltraMarginal: That is a sweet display cabinet man.

thanks Hursti, it looks a lot better when it's not half full of closed up/dismantled toys.

Once we're settled in the new place I'm going to be documenting the collection so you should get a better look at it then. btw my wife bought the cabinet for me for a Christmas pressie 2 years ago.

So what is that shelf called UMgnal? and also all of the shelves are movable? except for the ones in the middle part.... Sigh, Ive still to get Detolfs, shame Ikea doesnt do online selling. As a perennial pedestrian, getting to their local store is a nightmare more so getting things home. But roaming around in their shop, looking at displays and house stuff is wonderful (except for my wallet)

I found these with a quick google search, this is the IKEA BILLY range, so the main casing is wood but the shelves and doors are both glass.
