 Re: Display cabinets?
Detolfs are fucking heavy, you wouldn't wanna carry it home. Don't they deliver?

 Re: Display cabinets?
Beech Billy kitted out with all-glass shelving and the aluminium framed glass doors (sans handles) . . . works like a charm!

 Re: Display cabinets?
And deltofs, while everyone seems to use them, suck imo.

 Re: Display cabinets?
Yeah, to be honest, I think I'd rather some retro thing with a glass from than the detolf. Something very sterile and soulless about them.

 Re: Display cabinets?
Go to charity shops, you can get way more interesting display cabinets for dirt cheap. Practically falling over them in the shops round here.

 Re: Display cabinets?
Here is what I bought from Argos.Delivery from Argos is £5.95. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... rice+Cut=1Its sturdy compared to the cheaply made Ikea detolfs.The back is mirrored too.Its pricey though.If I had to do it again Id probably buy cheap detolfs and spend the money on toys!! Risers were bought off ebay uk.Here are how many toys you can fit on one shelf:

 Re: Display cabinets?
If you do go the ikea route, here's a tip - buy a bunch. When my girlfriend and I moved into our apartment we hit Ikea for display and book cases along with other furniture. Once you add on a bunch then the delivery fee becomes more reasonable PLUS you're not humping that stuff from Ikea to your home.

 Re: Display cabinets?
Also, just something I've noticed here, but IKEA stuff keeps getting cheaper and cheaper in construction. I had a dresser I bought to throw clothes in and didn't fell like finding something pricey to move when I have to and I put my finger with one of the metal fixtures through both sides of a drawer as I was putting it together. Quality.
