So this weekend I finally managed to get most of my (ever expanding) collection into dedicated cabinets with proper lighting. I’d gone down the well trodden Detolf path but after having issues with fitting the glass and posts and news stories about exploding glass I decided on the Fabrikor cabinets from IKEA. They are easy to assemble and can be done in under an hour by one person and they are also very stable. I fitted multiple fleuro lights that I got in packs of three from Bunnings for $11 with batteries and then hid the lights in the corners of the units. I’m pretty happy with how its turned out. They are lower obviously than the Detolfs but when I’m sitting in my armchair with a nice cold drink looking at the collection they should be just right.

Now all I have to do is figure out where I can fit some more shelving for more pieces as the collection grows….

Enjoy
