Anyone use BESTA from Ikea for Displaying??

[drbrad1975]

Wow those look nice. You did a great job with those. How did you go about with the lighting? Is there a kit?

IKEA has led lighting as an option. several kinds, stay away from the halogen lights as the gets to hot. I have BESTA units and they look great, I use detolfs for my 12 in.

Gotcha does make sense now, I think the pics on the IKEA website throw me off because of the adjustable shelves that can be altered and position to their windows.

Thanks

I've got the Besta series from Ikea but I don't use them for displaying. I have the frosted drawers with DVD holder inserts that hold all my DVDs with the sliding door and then a few shelves and cabinet doors for storage. I also use the pull out as a laptop desk. It's a very versatile and good looking set that you can pretty much configure to fit any need.

Bump for good info

 

[hairlesswookiee]

i like them, but don't have room for them. when i eventually get a bigger place i'll probably get a couple to display my 1:1 pieces.

thanks for the info. those LED lights look great in black BESTAs.
