BESTA love and idea thread

[Jay1138]

Besta are off 15% for a little bit. Plus right now there is a coupon for $25 off $150 spent.
So im completing my statue room. I cant believe the new besta tall do not come with shelves anymore. You need them to even be sable. I would be pissed if I didn't have spares from my previous 2.

I discovered this recently also. I was a bit confused wondering where the shelves are. I also had a few spares but still.

Yeah, since last year I believe they started charging for shelves and door hinges separately and stuffs... sucks...

I got all of the hinges I needed but only a single white Glassvik door to see if I liked it. And well...I love it. So it looks like I'm purchasing a bunch more of these bad boys.

That does look great! Decided just to get black/brown glassviks for my bestas. Still need to get a few more too. Should look pretty good.

Do people worry about anchoring their "2 cube high" Bestas? I mean, the tallest 3-cube option, yeah. I would never tempt fate with that sucker. I tested it and with the top Glassvik door open (nothing on any shelves), it started tipping.

But I would think the 2-cube high setup would be fine freestanding. Just wanted to check in, though, see what others have experienced.

I do have carpet rather than hardwood floors, though.

I've got the 3 cube version on top of a half besta with the glassvik, never had an issue

If in doubt secure to the wall, ESPECIALLY if you have children.

I have two double high and two triple, all screwed together so pretty solid setup.

 

[Lumos]

No children, thankfully.

I would think a 2 cube version wouldn't tip without being pulled/pushed. But I could be wrong.

I have multiple two cubes and with legs they have no chance of tipping. Not that they really did before I put legs on either though.

Can someone tell me the exact width of the border on the Glassvik doors?

although mine are on laminate I have had no issues, they are clamped together with the ikea clamps that came with it, on carpet might need to secure to wall

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying 3 bestas for my birthday in February next year. My plan is to stack them and put them in the middle of my current 4 detolfs. I'm planning to use dioder lighting strips the same as I have in my detolfs.
But I'm unsure yet on if I should get the doors for each cab. It looks good but I think the borders might get in the way a bit as I'll be putting hot toys in them and not statues and premium format stuff.
Here's a pic of my current setup

Here's my set up with Glassvik Doors, apologies if you have seen the set up already.


I have found that the borders do not really get in the way of viewing the figures. But of course, that's IMHO. The one thing I like is that the wires cannot be seen

Cheers mate! Looks fantastic. I think I'll be picking the doors. And that's one reason I want to start slowly upgrading to bestas, more room, no wires!

Finally got all of the Glassvik doors for my 2 vertical 2 horizontal set up on one wall. The stuff in them is a temporary set up until I figure out how I want to display stuff I have stashed away and my Maul bust incoming.

Question, does the Joker PF by any chance fit in the Spider-Man PF display area?

 

[wadeit0ut]

Man if I would just give up and cover my windows I'd be able to fit more bestas. But I like my window too much since my office is on the second floor
