BESTA love and idea thread

[Resident Eric]

how much viewing area does a glassvik door block? an inch all around?

 

[Pixelpiper]

I believe two inches.

 

[Collectorcol]

Yup! 2".
I switched to Glassvik, from Vassbo, and love them

did besta prices increase... god damn

Edit: Nvm... Rookie mistake... Was looking at Canada lol

How often does Ikea do that family sale? Too bad I missed it. I'm working today and it ends.

Almost there... [emoji51]

The new lights I got are more yellow than my 1st set so that mismatch of lighting kind of sucks...

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Yeah, you need to hunt down the cool white Dioders they stopped making awhile back. Otherwise, just go warm on all your displays.

What strips are those that go the full length of the BESTA? And what are you using to hide the wires on the top left corners?

 

[irezumi]

Is this the frame used in aslan_gfx's pictures and the shelves are just moved to make 3 symmetrical square areas?

I use the Ikea Dioder Lights and have two pieces fitted together. The cables are under a semi-circular cable channel self-adhesive

Very nice display aslan!

many thanks irezumi and Asdf

Love that wall Aslan and kudos on your light installment (and explanation). Curious about one thing though, how were you able to fit the Hulk Maquette in your Besta?

Considering his specs, I assumed he was too deep. Also confused with his height, from the pictures it looks like you only dropped the shelf a single notch.

If you look carefully, the unit where Hulk is standing is NOT a Besta, but the bigger model that is deeper

 

[Collectorcol]

Pretty sure he fits at a certain angle but the deeper cabinet is the Struva from the Childrens Range.

Hehe thx, because the fronts are aligned I didn't notice it. Still curious about the height though.

 

[dw316]

Thanks aslan. Where did you get that semi-circular cable channel? And how did you get the 2 LED strips to fit? There was wiring on the connector that made it longer than the width of the BESTA for mine so I was unable to fit 2.

On a side note, 3rd shelf built!

as you know already

that is not a Besta, it is a Stuva Which you also gets in ikea... which are 10cm deeper and thereby also fits Optimus prime maquette or you can Display a Hulk Maquette from the Front

you should get it in a DIY market

my light strips come together to 52cm and the inside width of the Besta is about 56cm... so it fits without problems

here is a picture for you
