BESTA, white or black?

Yeah, those are gone.

Well... crap.

Ikea makes it difficult sometimes.

 

[dw316]

Totally. At least you can still get the 3x1s, you lose a few extra bucks saved from their 3x2 at a slightly lower price than getting two 3x1s. The thing that was more difficult, at least to me, was losing the Tombo doors. I got 9, but I'm worried that my collection will grow bigger and will need more. Hopefully I can keep it at 9... heh

I had black/brown and painted the insides white.

For those of you who have dioder lights, where did you mount them in the besta? Front, middle, or back?

I'd probably do front, but I haven't got any lighting in my Besta unit or Billys yet. Can't decide if I want to go with Ikea's (warm) dioder lights, or those barlighting strips. I've heard good/bad about both, and it's hard to find advice on them lately.

I mounted mine in the middle.

Do the besta half shelves have a name? I can't seem to find them on the IKEA site.

Probably a better place for Besta queries

Oh and front for strip lights and slightly front of center for pucks.

Thank you.

Didn't want to necropost but does anyone have pics of a lot of black Star Wars things in the black brown besta? My collection is very black heavy so it seems like white is a must. But at the same time I don't think white troopers will look as sharp.

I would really like to see what it looks like when two are bashed together. I wonder what all black brown with just the white backboard would look like.

That's what I did, black shelves but painted the backs white. I think it makes them pop.

Do you have some pics of that?
