Risers

I know we all talked about this before but I used to get my risers from Staples but they don't sell them anymore They came in a 3 pack with differant sizes. Besides ebay is there any other stores that carry them? I'd like to just go and get them instead of ordering them.

 

I think someone once mentioned Storables as carrying them, Or maybe is was The Container Store? I haven't been to either.

 

Thanks but didn't see much on either site.

 

Container Store:

Thanks guys, not sure how I missed those at the container store Those ikea are ass-ugly I'm trying to stay with the clear ones.

this place carries a 3-tiered riser- I don't know how the quality is, but I've bought from this site before that they are trust-worthy, but a little slow.

I do like that 3 tier one. How slow is slow?

 

laser creations on e-bay I've said it once I've said it a million times.

 

like 2-3 weeks from when you place your order, closer to 2 weeks if I remember correctly. It's just one guy who runs the place and he might have a day-job, so somtimes processing of orders takes some time.

I just ordered a couple of the 3 tier risers (APEXSTAND)...has anyone bought the APEXCASE?

I just make my own....

 

Pretty quick turnaround with nice and simple acrylic risers. These are what I have right now.

...But those SmallJoes 3 tier risers look sweet! And probably come out a little cheaper when ordering enough to fill a few detolf shelves.

Kevlo, can you update to share how the turnaround goes?

 

yep.... Joe Wu style. TAP Plastics.

 

I get mine from a jewelry display/supply store. $6 for a three pac.

 

I placed my order today and I just got an email stating that they have been shipped! I'll update again after receiving them.

 

Is there a tutorial somewhere? I swear I saw pictures posted of one...it may have been Joe.

from Joe:

Here are the dimensions for Detolf:

Biggest: H:9" W:14"
1x 14" x 3" (Top)
2x 8.75" x 3" (Sides)

Middle: H:6" W:14"
1x 14" x 3" (Top)
2x 5.75" x 3" (Sides)

Smallest: H:3" W:14"
1x 14" x 3" (Top)
2x 2.75" x 3" (Sides)

I use 1/4" thick acrylic.

Here's an older pic of the setup:

Thanks Kirkland! Mebbe I can cajole Nate into this project. =D

 

yes, but one thing to note: Evils don't fit on the top layer...

 

These look pretty cool, definetly let us know how they are.

 

I ordered them (2 sets) last Friday and I received them today!

They fit in a detolf nicely (a bit tight getting them in) and are well made and seem pretty sturdy.

I'll post some pics soon.

 

Once Nate gets the hang of it, it's fun to make specific custom risers.
I was able to cram all this into one Detolf shelf from 4 risers.

 

I love the Laser Creations risers. I've used them for years. Good quality and always really fast shipping. They'll do custom sizes for you as well, for folks that don't live in Tap Plastics areas.

 

Hobby Lobby has cheap squares and rectangle boxes you can use but not the two tiered perfect fit for the Deltof. It might help for unusual size toys.
