Looking for Display Help - Risers

[TheRealSmallville]

I bought some glass display shelves recently, basically like this https://a.co/d/cCh30BK I was going to wait to build them until I could find risers, but when I came home from work the other day the kids (teenagers) surprised me with having them built. While I appreciate the help with them, they were built prior to purchasing risers so they're currently flat on the floor lol

Obviously I need to get these up, but what do you guys recommend for risers? I was looking at a few cube-shelf type items, but it looks like the weight of the glass would probably snap them...I'm not sure what exactly I should buy. Anyone have any recommendations or links? I was hoping to avoid having to purchase wood and build anything, although I suppose I could do that. But I'm lazy

Thank you!

1. Buy wood
2. Leave for work
3. Kids (teenagers) build risers
4. Profit

That's one way to go!

Unfortunately, the best solution may be the custom route. Either building it yourself or outsourcing it. Otherwise you can try scouring the web for a pre-built platform or riser that fits the dimensions you're looking for.

Interesting. I guess I assumed that all of those "look at my collection" guys on youtube were buying their risers somewhere, some of those dudes don't look like they would know what a hammer is lol I suppose if I do it myself, I can plan for spaces to hide cords and parts, though. Maybe I'll do that.

Thank you for the response.

Might be the case for common display furniture. Seems the most common display cases are Detolf, a few others from IKEA, and ModuCase. Moducase offers risers as an addition, though they only add several inches. Some IKEA furniture might have risers that can be purchased as well. Detolfs are popular enough that there may be someone out there selling custom platforms/risers for them. Nothing I've come across myself.
