Title: Increase your showcase.
Post by: KitRookie37 on May 05, 2015, 08:03:36 PM

Hello gentlemen,
A little hint and tip to increase place in your showcase.
I bought this one because it's very easy to increase and it's cheap:

So, in a "do ti yourself" shop, buy cleats (in french serre-cables) like this:

Place four of it like that to support glass shelves:

Buy four glass-shelves, 30 * 38,5 cm, width 3 mm (it's cheaper et strong enough).

So for about 100€, you'll have an efficient and beautiful  showcase.  ;)
Hope to be useful.
Best regards.
Alain.

I have several of these from Ikea and I have wanted to add shelves as there is a lot of wasted space. I'll have to look for those at the hardware store. Thank you for sharing.
