acrylic risers

For people who uses this to display, what dimension is best to get?

Thanks

It all depends on how you want it too look.

I'd buy a set of different heights first and see which one fits your collection.

I got mainly 1/60 vf-1 in detolf case. Maybe I should get 2 5x5x5

Where are you getting them from?

Pricey.

Try an office supply store (not online) or Ebay and save yourself some money. I once bought 2 sets comprising of a 3", a 4", and a 5" risers per set for around $12.00 total for both at my local Staples... just like this set on Ebay.

Edit: It was several years ago, but they did carry them; they may still do.

They have these at staple? Ok, Ill' visit one and see they have some.

Edit: North San Jose area. They might have them in other location.

Best place would be a local store fixture place.

Just came back from Staple, Walmart, and Micheals. None of them carry them. The search continues.

BCW Supplies sells acrylic sports memorabilia cases of varying shapes and sizes. You could use an empty one as a stand.

I ended up just buying these. Can't beat free shipping.

The ones @ TAP are really nice quality and they are a local business in your area so you can drop by. The TAP ones are 1/4" thick which feels really sturdy. The eBay link says 1/8". I don't see a thickness on the Container Store listing.

I have a sheet of 1/8" acrylic with rubber feet every 10" on my desk. I can easily flex the acrylic between the feet so I wouldn't be surprised if a 1/8" riser of decent length will also flex. Maybe not enough to be noticeable. Just something to check out when you find some in a store.

Matt, thanks I forgot it is in my city. I saw the shipping price from the site and got scared off.

amazon has some too FWIW. bought them many years ago. you can actually fit between 6-8 naked vf-1s in battroid mode in two rows on a detolf shelf with risers. 8 looks crowded though.
