Anyone own these? If yes, does the lighting come with it, or is it sold seperately, or is it not made by IKEA (third party company), etc.? Need to buy a couple very soon.
thanks, Q |

My friend has one. His has lights. I am 99% sure they came with the unit. He's not the type to go buy lights separately.
My opinion: way too much empty vertical space for 3 3/4. |

There was another fellow here that bought a couple of Bertby IKEA displays. Had to add lights but they were fantastic.

The DETOLF units do not come with lights, they're like $12 extra. I used to have a couple, they're AMAZING display cases. I sold mine last June when I sold off my collection, but I'm thinking of re-buying one.

Very true... But it works great when combined with Transformers, of if you get those clear acrylic risers.

I have a Detolf with the optional overhead light that I installed with it and then added the white kitchen organizer shelves from Target for the multilevel effect... I can fit four double-stacked rows of G.I. Joe figures per shelf so I have a lot of figures in a relatively small space. It doesn't look too crowded at all but I may need to rework some of the poses so they don't overlap with figures in front or behind. All-in-all I'm very pleased with the look and function of the Detolf.
