Container Store has some online sales of their freestanding shelving units, a lot of them cheaper than Detolfs.

For the past few months I've been trying to get a display case of my own. I'm not a big fan of the detolfs due to the lack of adjustable shelves and the fact that they don't really protect figures from dust.
I'm going to finally get an IKEA Besta Cabinet in two or three weeks with glass doors to display my collection. I like the fact that the cabinet shelves are completely adjustable and even plan on replacing the normal shelves with glass ones.
Hope that helps

I have my 3A collection in 4 detolfs and I dont have a problem with dust in them. They have been displayed in there over almost 2 years and I havent had to dust inside once.
maybe my place isnt that dusty haha
The Bestas, for me, were the best for display needs for both statues and 1/6 and they look beautiful. If you want to see what it looks like, check mine out in my video in my sig.
I have two Detolf's in the corner of my hobby room but the majority of my figures are in three curio cabinets. I'll try to find the name of them and the exact model but they were super expensive. I think I paid $1,000 to $1,500 for each one but they make my collection look spectacular. Especially with the glass shelves and mirrors in back. I can post what each of the shelves looks like and has on it if you want to see it.
Check craigslist in your area.

If you're collecting more than just 1/6th scale then definitely BESTA is the best I think. IKEA's billy bookcase with glass doors works as well for hot toys.

what does everyone use for pfs? are detolfs big enough?
About how many shelves can you fit into the Billy? Since the middle shelf is locked in place I would think that it minimizes your display space.
I'm looking to display 1/6th scale figures exclusively, and the Besta appears to be ideal because of the fact that all of the shelves can me moved. Any opinions on which is better? The Besta or the Billy?
That was the first place I checked when I saw the detolfs weren't on Ikea's site anymore. No luck though.
Thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll look into more options.
