Acrylic risers

    Hello all,

    Thought I'd just share a tip for displaying your figures...athough maybe some of you are already doing this.

    If you have a curio or any kind of display case, look for acrylic risers that are half the depth of the shelves so that you can place the risers toward the back of the curio. This allows you to display the rear row of figures 3-5 inches higher than those in front, greatly improving the ability to see all the figures.

    I've had a hard time finding a retail (and affordable!) source for risers, but just ordered from these nice folks in Ohio.

    You can also find risers on eBay.

    Here's how they work in my curio cabinet.

    Good idea Steven. I just added another 4' x 6' high showcase to my den today and may use your suggestion in the new case. Here is a link to some other member's ideas and showcases. If you like, I will add your case to the portfolio.

    Hello. I've bought a couple of these risers from a place called The Container Store. They are a fairly large chain and are usually around your larger cities.
