|
| | | Does anyone know of good, lightweight shelving that works well for displaying assembled sets (and possibly boxes and directions)?

| | | | Call me a ditto head. I've had Ivar for 5 years and just keep getting more. One thing I did that I wish I hadn't... I used a very nice stain, but then did not put a wear surface shellac on it... now the stain shows the original pine through where it (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | | Thanks for the info Kevin and Larry! They look just about perfect for my needs. Any opinions on the narrow vs. wide shelves? I'm thinking narrow shelves would be good for most things, while the wide shelves would be good for large sets (bases, etc). (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | | | (...) Your message was a couple months ago, but if you have called IKEA, you will have probably already found out that IKEA does have a store in Texas. It's in Houston on I-10 at the Antoine exit, just west of the West Loop (I-610). In other words, (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.storage)

Not exactly Lego related, but I'm getting a new 36" TV for my birthday and I was thinking of maybe buying that TV cart/stand they sell to hold me over while I work on a plan to build my own - wonder if it would support the weight of the tv (...)

I think the web site didn't list the Houston store when I looked (or I totally missed it), but the catalog they mailed me did list the Houston store. My wife and I are thinking of (...)

| | | | | | (...) We went to IKEA last Saturday to buy lots of IVAR shelving and some other furniture. We bought all of the other furniture, but they were out of most of the IVAR shelving, arg! Guess I'll have to do another 7 hours of driving in a few weeks. (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | | | | (...) I finally got back to IKEA about a week ago. They had just enough IVAR shelving in stock in the size I wanted (7 foot tall, deep shelves), so I bought several hundred dollars worth of it. Oops. And I am very happy with the IVAR!
