Yep if you are on about this one http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30171123/ (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30171123/) and no I wouldn't get more (in fact it's been sacked and utilised somewhere else). Glass too heavy shelves fall out.

The best solution I have found through experience is the cut down pipe options in a solid frame. like this http://www.frit-happens.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=42240.15 (http://www.frit-happens.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=42240.15)

Yes I was on about that storage, I couldn't find the link :)

And thanks for your opinion, I had planned a trip to ikea tomorrow but I think I will sack that off and spend my money on some pipes!

I use the Expedit storage unit filled with square down pipe cut up for larger glass bundles, and round 40mm pipe for all the others.

I got the idea from a previous thread on here somewhere. I still haven't managed to fill it all with pipe, there's loads of storage!

I use an Ikea Expedition unit as well. Most of the glass is in square or round pipe but I have one of the glass cube inners in one section for all my non 104 glass
