i used to collect swarovski ,and i used an ikea cabinet to display it in ,it was an all glass cabinet sides,back .door and shelves with a pale wood (beech or birch )top and bottom with a downlighter fitted in the top ,i think the cabinet was called detolf and stood about 5 ' tall -cost about �60

just checked out the ikea site and they are a lot cheaper than i thought -only �34.00 and the downlighters are called non and cost 9.78 for a pack of 2 bargain!!!! well done snagged for providing the link ,i've never learnt how to do that

If you look at the Argos onlinbe catalogue they do a range of tall glass cabinets with down lighters that wouold be perfect

There are so many shops closing down these days, keep an eye out for those selling their display cabinets cheap.

Seen some for clearance at �2.

i must have had about 300 pieces ,maybe even more , i collected for about 25 years ,birthdays xmas pressies ,they just seem to multiply ,but got cheesed off having to clean them all ,it was almost a days work washing them ,dusting underneath then replacing them , then i redecorated a few years back and thought i wouldn't put them back ,so i kept the best pieces and sold the rest on ebay -now i have about 50 pieces which is much more managable , the ikea cabinet i recomended i used to display the larger pieces in -i even sold that on ebay!!! also ebay is a good source for swarovski some mega bargains to be had
