And thanks for your info to built2shred unfortunately those are not going to work with what kind of collection scene im creating plus i wouldnt want to see any of those wires! My hubby has ocd like that so it will have to look just right and the ones that are designed for pax will work perfectly i think!

Here is an older picture. I've gotten some new pieces since it was taken. I really should get some new pictures taken.

Oh snap now I remember you and your picture because we fell in love with your set up months to a year ago! Do you have 6 lights in total right there because I want to get mine looking similar to yours !

Thanks

I only started collecting again around April, but there are plenty of people with similar setups.

Yes, I have six lights in total. You can connect up to ten with the parts I've shown you, which is more than plenty.

I wanted a similiar setup but I have no idea how to get glass doors for it like in the photo. The only door IKEA sells have frosted acrylic and 3 metal frames that cross the whole piece.

A lot of the doors that IKEA sells can be modified in such a way that you can remove whatever medium they're using. From there it's best to get some custom glass or acrylic cut to the dimensions of the medium you removed. Do a quick switcheroo, and you're good to go.

Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something. I realize I can take out the frosted glass and fit in some arcylic into this...

...but does anyone if you can pull out the three thin metal frame pieces across the glass?

I'm not sure if you can on those particular doors. They've had several designs over the years. Luckily, with the design I have, there were no supporting bars across the doors.

As I've recommended before, I would check locally for a used unit. Sometimes you can get the doors by themselves for quite cheap.

The metal things can be taken out. They are just there to hold individual pieces of glass. Measure the glass plus the metal things and make an acrylic panel of the same size.
