i'd rather just buy a stuva frame and shelf and just buy the besta doors to save some money..these things add up when you're buying multiple
btw..the dpors have been updated http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/ca...ng_room/12152/

So if you buy a 3 tier besta frame thats going to be $75, plus 2 shelves at $5 each, 3 Glassviks at $45 each, and 3 sets of hinges for $10 each for a grand total of $250 per Besta display. It used to cost $220 per Besta display before this overhaul, and the Bestas themselves used to include 4 shelves.

Wow between the normally confusing site and site update going on I can't find anything. Everything is redirecting.
No more black GLASSVIK doors?
Are the SINDVIK door frames thinner than the GLASSVIK doors?

capchi3 on going display projects
Been working on my "display" room the last couple of years. Just added the two top Bestas pieces on my "Wall of Bestas". I didn't have the 24" needed to the ceiling so I had to cut down 2" on the new double piece and decided to lay it sideways so that there is no divider, it gives it a wider different look above the 15 Bestas cubes. After the cutting down the 2" I then used the extra shelves to brace the sides and it also covered the holes. Center section is a singe Bestas cube (Alien Bust ) Finally I had my glass guy to customize the opening. I was happy the way it came out. On the other size which a call the "Galant" ikea line I added the display for my TV and the top and bottom which I have the Superman and Batman pieces and the Kirby Hulk section on the bottom. Again the glass was custom cut. My next project was using the "BILLY" Bookcase and "MORLIDEN" GLASS DOOR by Ikea. I like this combination because it was really all the room I have leading out to the room. This "Billy" case is perfect for 1/6 scale and Busts. Still working on what to put, I temporarily placed two of the YAMATO pieces. Finally on the right of the BILLY display (leading out ) I completely made the shelving for my comic collection. Saved atleast $150 by using picking up loose pieces (and spare pieces I've accumulated from past projects) at the Ikea "As Is" section. It cost me $25 to built this. It's definitely a place to look when you go there!. I still have two more sections to do in the room and then I can say I'm done......If you have time I have pictures in the Collection Corner...See: capchi3's collection from the heart.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I like how the glass is recessed into the cabinets, how is it held in place?

There are many ways to do this, the adjustable shelves are recessed 1/2-3/4". There are extra shelves left over. I either place them on the sides (as I did with the horizontal displays) or on the bottom and top. So, the glass is recessed in and stay perfectly in place. I then drill a 1/16 hole on the sides of each corner and then use the extra shelving pins to hold it in place. This is only one of many ways to do this. There's one thing I hate is dusting and this helps big time.

Yes darb, I noticed that there is a gap all around those Bestas Doors, that's the reason I didn't go with them and the price. Although everyone of my displays are pretty close to 1/16th gap, that's enough for dust to get in but my dusting is only around twice a year so I'm happy with that.

Heads up to anyone in the DFW area. I went to Ikea to pick up a PAX tonight and all the BESTAs are on clearance for $50.
