I have 2 of the Ikea Detolf for memorabilia
but all of my large box games are in Ikea Billy units: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=billy

there's a lot of versatility, and you can get glass doors for them as well.

I have to get clever with the really big stuff, it seems there are quite a few very large editions that just don't fit well anywhere.

Any chance of seeing any photos of your collection?

The DETOLF cabinets are really good value for money at 40GBP, I've not seen anything comparable for the price.

They weigh in excess of 40 kilos/90 pounds though so it's a two man job to lift and assemble them...It might not sound that heavy but they are awkward to manage, and being glass you don;t wanna drop 'em

I might get some of those Billy cabinets that Twisted mentioned when I redo my house.
