Well, some glass should be displayed nicely, but real collector has problem not "how to display" but "where store all pieces".
Glass is everywhere, in living room, bedroom, bathroom, hall, my office.... simply everywhere"

I have major storage issues as well, next step is the dreaded cardboard box "display". The glass that isn't tucked away are in this "Billy" bookshelf from IKEA and on my String shelf above the TV.

Best Regards
Emil

Absolutely great displays everyone!  :thup:
IsnĀ“t it nice to see what a difference it makes wether you got a single piece (of
whatever) or a grouping? They start communicating it seems...  :)

Yes Anik, I really did copy and paste so I could read what you wrote!!! I would have written it in BOLD!!
Rose, I love the Just Funky tree.....I could just see all my birds and squirrels in that one, but then I would really have Anik's problem!!

I have had some teak units made....I'll take a pic or two, and if they come out OK I will post them.

Otherwise, like all of you....on the mantlepiece, dresser, loo, organ, shelves, windowsills, and sadly....packed in cardboared boxes :cry:
Laters.....hopefully! :wsh:

Keith, it looks like Daffy Duck is challenging anyone who has the temerity to suggest you have a collecting 'problem'. ;D
