I still prefer detolf. Got 4 of them. Reason because its cheap, the shelf is customizable (level, add shelf) to caters my liking. I can also moved them around when I'm bored with my living room arrangement. Lastly I display my toys in 'sets', so each detolf/shelf got its own theme.

QUOTE(advocado @ Jul 21 2017, 10:39 PM) dude how do you move them around without disassembling them? Took out all the stuff inside and lift it a bit, then slide in a foot mat (upside down, find a mat with surface that can glide on tiles, bought mine at rm2 shop). Then just carefully push them around.i did not install those wheels as i worry they might break 1 day. also they sit better on the wood. i don't think you can just lift the cabinet up, it's not light and you put stress on the glasses.  |

QUOTE(advocado @ Jul 21 2017, 10:49 PM) o i see. i was thinking you moved to another floor or moved elsewhere. Another room, yes... But not different floor.. Hahaso only way is to disassemble i guess. this is where those Jusco cabinets win. |

QUOTE(carpathia @ Jul 22 2017, 10:20 AM) why i hate detolf...ehm ..ehm Hmm... Yeah. Its alot depend on what you kept inside. I put gunpla 1/144 and 1/100, and diecast car up to 1/24 only, so its fine. My 1/100 macross can fit in jet mode. So does my TF especially those combiner. 1) it shakes. everytime i bump the shelfs ever so slightly, the cabinet shakes and things will fall apart/over. 2) dust. dust. dust. yes i know can buy strips but man....thats a lot of work 3) space restriction - frankly , the limited size dont allow you to display your collection in a panoramic mode.....trust me....things just looks better. About the stability, i agree. That's why the detolf with gunpla i put 'inside' block by 2 couches, while the one with diecast, i put at open space. The only problem i previously faces is that the lowest part is not visible (because blocked by couch). But i bought a couple of 'legs' (from ikea as-is, supposed to be leg for furniture) and it fit perfectly. So now my detolf are raised about 15 cm.

QUOTE(advocado @ Jul 22 2017, 03:56 PM) btw i think these diode lights looks better: For lights, i use LED ceiling light bulb, about 60 led arranged in circular shape, about 30 cm diameter. Rm18 only. No need adapter.cable management still an issue if you dust proof the cabinet. |

QUOTE(advocado @ Jul 22 2017, 03:57 PM) did they cut the size for you or just happen you found them? location coz rm4 is really cheap. Just bring one and ask them to cut the same. i see you already have those dust stripes why not just install them takes only 20 minutes to adjust them. it's a real hassle to clean a detolf. I put some dust strip, but don't see much improvement.. The best way us vacuum the surrounding are (my living room) often. Cleaning them is a hassle. But i can play2 with the collections, clean them up, take picture and change the pose while cleaning.. Haha |

QUOTE(advocado @ Jul 22 2017, 04:10 PM) btw which shop, rm4 is cheap, don't think i can get that kind of price. I lived at outstation area.. Thus things are cheaper. also did they smoothen the edges so they don't cut? what clamps you used? They do smoothen the edge using grinder. Clamp i used 'metal cable tie' from hardware shop. 80cent each. |
