Ikea Stuva System

[KittyCap]

This is probably a longshot but if anyone has some spare white Stuva frames in the deeper style (article no. 301.281.77), I would love to buy some. I guess they were just recently discontinued this year.

I am trying to get ahold of the IKEA nearest me to find out if they have any left in the store, but it's been impossible so far!

Sorry my late pic

You can see Stuva is well fit 48cm depth statue and capable using besta's glass door.

Very nice setup john, looks amazing.

Stuva with Besta "Vassbo" doors.




Stuva with custom full length doors.

 

[Ninja]

Much better. Just need to tidy up wires etc, two more doors and more statues and I'm set

Congrats, great looking setup, that extra depth helps with the bigger pieces.

 

[laudel7]

Thanks! I only have one of those pieces now. It's all changed

Also. Where did you get those doors made

 

[Ninja]

show some pics of your setup with the changes when you get a chance laudel7.

Doors were made by a local carpenter / cabinet maker guy here in Australia.
(interesting bit of info - I tried 4 carpenters before finding one who wanted to do it - I guess they can be busy).

I currently have bestas with the Glassvik doors. Would the Glassvik doors install to the Stuva without any modifying?

Stuva with custom full length doors.

These look great. Do you mind me asking how much these cost to make? I would like to do something similar with a besta...

Thank you for the compliment neb.
You could definitely do similar with a besta (same exact size).

I supplied the door handles and hinges, cabinet maker did everything else $500.00 AUD per door ($2000.00 AUD or $1571.00 USD for 4 doors).
These doors are very solid and heavy wood with very thick acrylic full length sheets and have all been painted in "special" Water-Based Enamel which lasts for ever and does not yellow, etc.

These were not cheap, but I am glad I did it, and will most likely do something similar in the future again when space is needed.
I wanted these doors to match / fit in with my existing Besta doors and I am very happy with how it all looks.

Definitely seems worth the price for me! I always figure if you're going to get something that's going to last a long time, might as well go for the best quality =)
I'd like to do something similar but I'm not even sure how to go about finding someone to do that in my area. I live in the US. Not sure there's any custom cabinet makers near my area lol

Looking to buy the smaller frame one thats about 50" tall. Going to put the Prime 1 Geralt on top and then buy a shelf and place the tweeterhead Batman/joker beneath. I assume the top of the cabinet can hold a big prime 1 statue?

 

[Deadpool_jlp]

Also does anyone know how much weight one shelf can hold safely?

Reading some of the reviews on IKEAs site they are saying that pieces are plastic which has me concerned.

Shelves are solid wood/particleboard with metal brackets underneath and a small plastic piece on top to prevent tipping. Not sure on weight limit.

Besta are good for 20Kg and the Stuva are basically the same.

Thank you! ^_^

They are actually Stuva shelves (10" depth). If you go the link below you can select either the full length shelf or the slightly over half shelf instead from the drop down. I really dig the extra depth of the Stuva shelves for displaying my 1/6 stuff.

Ahhh I didn't notice that... Thanks... And that's a good idea to get some different heights in your stuva... I'm definitely going to do that
