I would definitely not plan for that. It really is a matter of what pieces we are talking about. Usually, no, the maximum is 2. Especially the way Sideshow are making their PF poses these days.

Highly unlikely, I can't think of any with bases small enough.

Yeah i've already seen some besta examples. Two pf's is max or you need to put in figures but i don't collect those.
Here's a tip:
Less is more.
Your collection will present itself better if each piece has some air around it.
Personal opinion, though (but it's actually the truth).

I think two to a shelf is fine especially if the figures are related or match.
If they are related, it can look awesome. Still, many pieces are best presented in their own case, I find.

Some of the older PFs display fine together, but a lot of the newer ones are bigger dimensionally. I think you would be hard pressed to put anyone in the same display space as Batman or Superman, and I am not even sure IF Gladiator Hulk would fit in a Besta.
If you want plenty of figures on a shelf you want a Pax.

Here is a quick pic of the PAX I put together over the weekend. I used the AULI door frames (which can be bought by themselves, without the glass/mirrored inserts), and got some full height acrylic panels made. The acrylic panels were pretty cheap, as there is a local plastics manufacturer where I had them made (i.e. no shipping). the total cost of the doors was about the same as if I had bought the complete system from IKEA (i.e. with the frosted glass or mirrored inserts). I am pretty happy with the finished look.
The space beside Wolverine is reserved for Deadpool!
That said...my besta is for sale...anyone in the Edmonton area interested?

Oh, jumping back a few posts to the securing straps, I forgot to mention that you can get these for free from IKEA. My local store has them in a small bin near the service counter, otherwise you can just ask someone in the service department.

That's a new one on me.
50cm compared to the 40cm Besta although I've never had an issue with the depth of the Besta.
Check that the glass doors are compatible before jumping in, can't see there being a problem

Thanks! I hope the doors fit. I was thinking of putting the batmobile there.

Same height and width as a Besta, so I don't see why the Besta doors wouldn't work. The additional depth will probably not allow you to display a 3rd PF on a shelf, but it would give you more flexibility with some of the bigger PF's, like Hawkeye. 4 more inches in depth and I can face him much more forward. Definitely something to think about.

Stuva has been around for a while here in Canada, it's marketed as Kids' furniture - bedrooms and playrooms, hence the really colorful options and accessories. The savings are pretty remarkable when you compare Canadian Besta versus US Stuva prices.
Still pretty good US to US though, $29 for single Stuva unit versus $55 for Besta - as long as you want white.

Just had a look and they have the same holes for shelves and door hinges so no problems hanging doors on them. Will your Batmobile fit on a 60x50 shelf?

Looks like it's only available in white.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but I bought a couple of these https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30180778/ and they are absolutely perfect for lighting up your figures/statues! It gives of a slight yellowish light, but I like the warm tone.

Yep! I use those and they are awesome.

I came across them a couple of months ago, are they new I wonder, or have I just been too much in a hurry to notice them earlier?
An example. I put a variety of figures next to each other and took a picture.

You could wrap some black tape around that white wire
