You add the doors. It's a modular system and you build them how you like. I believe the all glass doors are $40 a piece. You can also get glass shelves too.

I don't suggest the glass shelves unless your display room is in a basement. Had the glass shelves and it just didn't work because due to floor movement there would always be something falling down and messing up a display.

I've had my set up for four years now on the second floor of the house. I have not yet had a single figure fall over and that includes the cassette bots which have next to nothing to stand on.

I hope to be moving into a new house soon, with room to finally display my collection, and I plan on getting the Ikea Billy bookcases with the glass shelves and doors.

Why would the figures be more prone to falling over on a glass shelf?

I must have a different glass shelf then. Is there a glass billy case? I just have this glass one that is wobbly as heck no matter what I put in there (Gundams, TFs, etc)

Going to have to say I'm really happy with my Billy bookcase setup as well. If anyone's curious, there are pics of my Billy bookcases in my signature link.

If you mount the Billy bookcase to a wall, there's no wobbling. In the Billy system, you can have both glass doors and glass shelves, but if you want something that's entirely glass, then Detolf works very well.

If I ever have a Fort Max, I'd buy a Detolf just for him.
