Any know any good cool white puck lights. I looked at ikea but theirs is that warm white. Ones that plugs in is ideal.

There was a guy on a Facebook collector's page that recommended these. I will be buying some when I get Bestas here in a few weeks. 6000k I believe.

Thanks found a few puck lights but don't know which ones would be best. Do you happen to know how bright they are or if the guy posted pics?

ok, so question on light pucks. Just got my first Besta Shelves. WOO. And i've got glass shelves throughout in my besta. Is it better to put one light per shelf, or put all three in the top, and let the light shine down from the top to the bottom?

or, as an alternative, would it be better to put them in the door, or inside the unit using something like these?

Just put together a new Besta setup for most of my collection, loving them so far!

Are these besta repainted on the outside?

Whats the best way to set up the bestas? All single boxes connected or as many larger units as you can? I have a couple of spots I want to set them up in but not sure if I should get 4 boxes or two doubles... does it even matter? I guess if you do singles you can keep adding them as you get statues lol.

If you get single boxes the edges must end up being quite thick. The interior shelves are thinner than the top and bottom surfaces. So you'll get some quite significant borders betweeen each box. Also, it won't be as secure if you don't fix them to each other and to the wall.

Basically, I wouldn't recommend it. I'd only get the small ones to place them separately.

Draw up what you want, and try to get the proper cabinets to achieve that.

BTW. Here's a video of my display and the evolution of it.

Thank you.

Thanks for the info Chris, nice display as well. Do the frame units come with those feet or are they sold thru ikea separately? Ive got a besta in my closet but dont remember an option for the feet.

They have quite a few options for feet actually. I used ones called Nannarp.

I am in the process of setting my new bestas up. This thread has been very useful!

Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Earlier in the year I bought a Pax unit and realized about a week ago that I didn't think things through and that it was purchased in haste. Bought a 2x1 Besta over the weekend and will buying another 3x1 in the next month or so. I'll post pictures once I have the entire setup finished.

On the left is the 3 cube tall version. Then on the right its the floor standing two cube one (wish I did a 3 cube one since I had the room haha).

The little one is the Besta wall cabinet. It is 23 5/8x7 7/8 x 15 ". It is meant to be put horizontally but I chose to use it vertically to fit in that little wall space between the cabinet in the wall. I also figured it added some visual interest. I have no idea what what I am going to put in it but its definitely perfect for a 1/4 scale figure.

Hi all,
I've got a two box Besta unit, so its two boxes high, its the medium sized one, like this: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products...units-systems/bestå-frame-white-art-40245840/

I'm planning on putting the Prime 1 Deathstroke on top of this, has anyone else put a Prime 1 statue on top of a vertical Besta unit? Can the unit take the weight?
