UPDATE!! Which display cabinet should I buy?

[Deleted]

Hello, after seeing a few display cabinet threads in here this week, I thought to get one this Saturday.

First option is the good ok Ikea Detolf cabinet, priced at $149.00 Australian dollars

Or

Aldi is bringing in sone "Sohl Trophy Cabinets" for $99.99.

Which one looks better with WWE figures? Ikea's Detolf case is more pricey, but if it looks better then I will buy it. Anyways here are the pics tell me what you think.

ALDI $99.99 cabinet

UPDATE:This morning started off bad as my iPhone's sound stopped working while I was watching some of GrimKid's Super Silly Pop. But I was able to ring up my Apple store and make an appointment for tommorow evening, they guy said I might have to get it replaced, which is going to be a hassle because of all the stored music, cobtacts, texts, pictures and videos. What A Waste!

So I go to ALDI and they only had 2 cabinets left. There was no display but one box opened so I took a look at the frames and they felt pretty cheap in quality, they were pretty flexible and the top of the cabinet was made of the same cheap metal so I knew I wouldnt be able to cut a circle up there to easily put a lighting display!


Anyways so I decided the extra money for Ikea's Detolf cabinet was worth it so we ended up driving up to Ikea to buy it. There was an elderly couple who were deciding on weather to buy one for their bar collection. They told us that they went to their local ALDI but did not find any. We told them that it wasn't that good quality and that for a bar collection the ALDI cabinet would be shabby. They ended up getting a Detolf as well .

Anyways, I got the black color instead of the wood color.
Stay tuned because I will be setting it up tonight and posting some pictures of my collection!

I like that it is silver looking instead of wooden, it has a 1 year warranty, and it's cheaper, you save 1/3 of the price.

I also noticed the ALDI cabinet has a frame on the edges while the Ikea one does not. There are a couple of pros and cons for both having a frame or not

Another thing that bothers me is unlike at Ikea, where there is a cabinet on display, ALDI is most likely not to have it on display and therefore I don't get to see it in person until after I buy it!

I just got three Detolf IKEA k
Cases. $65 each. I'm about to put together the third one. Here is a quick pic. I can get 80 figs in the 4 shelves of the display case.

This is what I use, holds a ton of figures.

I put touch lights above each cube, so I can turn them on and shine down.

I also used these to lift some guys in the back

That's a kind of too big and probably too pricey.

BUT thank you! I really was looking for them steps to make the figures in the back stand out, but I didn't know the name. Does anyone know the right name for them?
Thanks

That's what I understood, from the catalog

[ToxicTwistOfFate]

Go with the Detolf in my opinion. They are really nice and well worth the money.

I posted these pictures the other day of mine when someone was asking about them.

So, I'm going to ALDI today to check out that cabinet. If I like it I will be buying it, also hoping they have one out for display (which I doubt). If it looks shabby I'll be driving out to Ikea to get the Detolf (black color).

I just want to thank everyone for helping me out .

UPDATE POSTED IN OP

[zambo]

THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ASKING WHY ikea SCREWS AUSTRALIA FOR PRICING WHEN IT IS MUST CLOSER TO CHINA WHERE EVERYTHING GETS MADE THESE DAYS.....$149 COMPARED TO THE USA's $70 CABINET (?).....

ANYWAY BROSKI....I THINK THE ikea IS PROBABLY BETTER QUALITY AND IF YOU WAIT A FEW MONTHS IT WILL CERTAINLY DROP TO $99 AS IT HAS DONE SO EVERY NOW AND AGAIN (SEEN THIS HAPPEN TWICE).....YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING THEIR WEBSITE,etc....
