Post Risers for a Detlof?
I finally made the trek through the local Ikea store (worth it for the food!), and scored the beloved detlof, but could not find any risers? is there any chain stores that carry these or even better and on-line store?

I ordered risers from Dynamic Display Solutions, and I am pleased with them. They allow you to choose between various sizes and two thicknesses, and they cover the risers with a blue film to protect them from getting scratched during shipment. My only complaint is that a couple of my risers do not sit perfectly flat, but it's not a big deal.

This is where I got all of my risers, it looks like you can order on line but you just have to make sure you order the right size for detolfs if you get the tiered steps stands.

i'd check the yellowpages under plastics or acrylics and maybe find someone in town who may be able to make custom ones for you. It's not as expensive as you'd think. A friend got amazing ones made for pretty cheap.

Good call Bryan.

I've had some work like this done and it was super cheap. It was nothing for these guys to simply cut and bend to my specs. Worth checking out.

Eddie's are GREAT ! I have the same kinda display case's and the risers work GREAT too. One note I think should be mentioned though. The risers work best is your door's are on the side, it's just the way they fit.
