I have a Billy bookcase from Ikea. I needed something for my 1/72 armor collection and looked for something with glass doors that was affordable to me. These fit the bill and are also expandable, especially around a corner. I plan on someday getting a couple more.

I did look at the others, but for me having something that is fairly easy to more around is also a benefit.

I never thought about getting additional glass shelves, but i have gotten more wood ones.

I also have a Billy bookcase without the glass doors. At present only 2 of the shelves have diecast on them, have to share the rest with wife and kids. Also have a Detolfe that I am going to modify ( thanks to the ideas from fellow forum members ) . I was also thinking of getting a few more Detolfe's and joining them together to make 1 long glass cabinet. I figure a bit of plywood/ finished pine planks and some nice finishing trim on the top and bottom, a touch of stain and it just might look half way descent.

Sometimes you can't- if you get the Bille with the glass doors you have to give up some of the space for the door brackets for example.

I'm in the process of setting up a pair of Detlof cabinets in my new office space. The additional shelving won't arrive until after the holidays but once I'm all set up I'll post some images.

Got this last Boxing Day at Sears. Now has most of my 1/72 smaller stuff. Also use a Detolfe for other heavies.
