*shrug* I like my Detolfs, they are cheap, and I like the all-glass look. I need to buy a third, I have totally filled my first two. Not saying I don't like other display cases -- the one you picked up is nice -- but no need to hate on the Detolfs. They are slick and minimal IMHO.

Great cabinet, I was using the same style myself in SF. In Japan that same piece would cost me a fortune. Nothing looks better than vinyl in vintage wood.

My wife is drooling for that cabinet. Shame it would have cost us a fortune to ship it to Asia.
Great score and lovely collection.

I loves Detolfs but there's nothing like a Toys R Us display cabinet. Made like a tank and probably as heavy. Right now the GI-Joes are being relocated so my larger vinyls can move in.

Blasphemy !!
Toys and detolfs go togther like peanut butter and jelly, and have been used before many of you started collecting toys !!!
And that case is killer

Seriously nice case, the legs are perfection - I am neon-green with envy. Any maker's name or 'Made in (country)' label or stamp on the back or bottom? Looks like it might be one of the Grand Rapids, MI renditions of danish modern.
I finally picked up one of my long-term furniture wants off craigslist last week - the Eames LCW. Beautiful chair (maybe the #1 beautiful chair of all time) ... but not much good for displaying vinyl!
