Billy bookcases with glass doors for statues?

Hi everyone, i was thinking of buying some billy bookcases from ikea with those glass doors for some bowen and sideshow statues. I was wondering if anyone has some pics of them. I would greatly appreciate it if you could post them so we could get a idea of what they look like exactly. I was also wondering how many statues fit? and if the dust still gets in. thanks.

Well, they look like this:




Dust can still get in because the doors leave about a 1/4 inch gap all the way around. I purchased some 1/4 inch adhesive back weatherstripping from ultrafab.com, and lined the inside edges of the doors with it, to help keep any dust out.

I don't think so...The Billys I see at Ikea are all wood shelving, then again, I have never seen these glass doors there either.

Computerfly, I love the Inhumans layout on the bottom shelf. Nice having BB as a full size then the busts surrounding him. Good composition.
