I know I've recommended it to you in the past, but at this point, I would rather have something else. The main reason I have one is space reasons. My place simply cannot accommodate anything bigger. It has it's pluses (price, look), but also has negatives (nonadjustable shelves, somewhat flimsy). I had no other options, unless I wanted to significantly rearrange my room... and I'm not going through that effort for figures. Plus, nearly half of my collection spends 1/3 of the year back in their boxes anyways, so I don't need to worry about storage as much. I agree with Adun too about the Detlof.

I clean them like once every 6 months if I am lucky. That is a lot of figures to clean once per week. Once a week wow. I clean them like once every 6 months if I am lucky.

Like the one I have here: http://www.moemoerabu.net/2007/02/28/step-into-the-world-of-otakuism-or-in-short-my-room/ This only costs me $550 AUD and I put it together myself.

I agree totally that it is flimsy and prone to an easy crash if you are not careful. Your idea is good, saves up quite a bit on cash too. Guess you got the space to do that, I certainly have none of that luxury here in tiny wannabe island. Good luck getting it done would love to see it when it is up.

It seems you and I think alike. :) I think to make it look extra nice/cool, you might want to think about lighting as well. The only problem with the DETOLF one at IKEA is that (I think) I've seen it in person, and to me it seemed a little light and flimsy. However, if you anchor it properly to the wall and/or floor, I think it should be okay ...
