I used the BILLY bookcases for my OT display when I first moved into my new home (second pic down).
I ended up going with the open back JOURNALIST shelving so that more light could get in, but the BILLY's make great cabinets when you add the doors to them. I know John (jhyphen @ RS) also uses the BILLY bookcases. You can see his HERE.

Thank you everyone who replied
Your displays are great.
I am very impressed with the quality of
items you all have.
Certainly helps me decide what kind of
display to do.
I have 13 1/6 figures with more on the way
and I need lots of space to show them off.
Plus my husband wants the boxes off the
dinning room table.
Thanks again

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Detolf!!
Great thread peeps
I've been pondering the display cabinet problem fer some time now, but hadn't noticed the Detolf @ Ikea 
That's me decided 
All I gotta do now is get the room organised. I was gonna buy everyfing else at Ikea, so this is the icing on the cake
It'll be some time B4 this happens, but I'll be going to Ikea again soon to get ideas.

Inkster, those look great! Can you tell me how much space there is between the shelves? Is the height adjustable?

It gets a bit warm in there with the light on and mabye colour fading(?)...but I doubt it. I have the light at the back to avoid directly shining onto the figures.
Doomhammer: Detolf shelf height is 15" for all, non adjustable. With Billy, pegs are used to adjust the height. The shelf shown with figures is 13 1/2". Only the middle shelf is screwed shut.

The Detolf one DOES have adjustible shelves. The shelves are just glass sheets that can be taken out to fit taller items. The glass sheet just sits on the side frame. Look at the pics. Even on inksters, inkster it looks to me like yours are adjustible just like mine. in fact im pretty certain yours is exactly the same as mine. as you can see in inkster's pic the shelves just sit on the frame.
I use the Billy's as well. One with the glass doors.
They work pretty good and look fairly nice. They shelves are strong and have shown absolutely no signs of deflection (bending) after 2 years.
I need a couple of more billys' now. I also have another Ikea cabinet, I'm not sure of the name though...its a little nicer than the Billy's

Are the welds holding the shelves in the Detolf case strong enough to hold polystone?
I was looking at them in Ikea last week, wondering how strong they are.And, I could've sworn someone on this board had a problem with one of the welds popping and having a very close call...

On the ikea site it says the shelves can each carry 13 lb/6 kg. That's not too much imo.
I had a close call like that but it wasn't with an ikea cabinet. I remember posting it on the board, not sure if that's what you're recalling.
Thanks for the comments guys, I need to look into this
