Black brown, however proper lighting and a mirror background would be a must. I think all the issues about black "hiding" the statue can be solved partially with a mirror background.

The only thing i don't like about the whites is the holes that remain and are very visible. Maybe gonna fill them and then repaint.
Anyone had blacks and painted the inside white or vice versa just like Stranger mentioned earlier in this topic and had pictures of it?

wow very surprised white is winning when i entered the thread, for me im going with black because my display room is also my gaming/theatre room and i want the feel to be darker.

When I'm sitting in my room watching a movie I like the statues 'glowing' in the dark cabinet. Not bright and in your face.

One thing that I love about the black ones is that they are great for close-up photos since they add the dark, deep black background. Like here.

I had a white besta, and now I have a white pax. Whatever color you choose will look great, but I can confirm that white looks great. That said, the white just goes better with the other furniture and paint in my particular room. So, it probably depends more on your particular room.

there was a member here who had white bestas, and then just painted the outside of them a different color (brown I believe). So he had best of both worlds with a darker color of the shelves, but the white inside to showcase the figures/statues inside. That will probably be the route I take when I have a chance to pick up some of these shelves

The one I seen actually painted the interior white.

Get the birch - They are light enough to show the item, but don't look like a hospital unit.
I am still putting mine together, they will have the black/brown doors, and even with doors on, you can see the display well, no extra light needed. Here is a quickie:

As someone who has owned both white and black/brown...white is definitely the way to go hands down. Statues/figures get lost in the shadows in the black/brown and the white allows your collectibles to pop. I started out with black/brown and slowly changed over to white and haven't looked back. Birch just looks cheap to me.
