Where can I get a helmet display rack?

[aldend123]

I just bought the ikea rack...friggen thing is 93lbs!
I was able to get it into my 2nd floor apt, but it was a PITA for me since I'm a skinny guy

You said (in other thread?) that you're trying to get girls right? Next stuff you need is weights or a gym membership

<-- says the lightweight nerdy guy.

off topic!

but I have a 24 hour fitness membership, but in the last 3-4 months I'll go twice, then take a month off...more consistency for 2013!!

I bet I'm smaller and I'm pretty sure I could lift that. I think I need 3 of them to hold all my old helmets though

Just picked up that shelf... it's actually pretty sturdy for IKEA, thanks for the idea

[FirstDuc-1098]

like the takeoff table !!!

like the takeoff table !!!

I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure if there's a table top on it or not

[shortbus]

Yep, I have two of those "end tables", 4 takeoffs screwed together and 24" glass on the top tire.

FWIW - I just went to the Ikea store in New haven last weekend, for the first time. It was quite an adventure. They have at least 10 items that could be used as helmet showcases. To me, they are the "Old Navy" of the furniture world. Lots of bland colors, in unique shapes and designs, at inexpensive prices. I did not like their cafeteria style, self-serve furniture picking, though. My daughter bought a bed, and the bin system was in total disarray, with things not located where they should be.
The actual "Cafeteria" was interesting, though. I had never seen that in a furniture store before. There were a lot of people there!
Edit: There seemed to be a lot of things in the store, that I do not see in their catalog.

damn must pick one up this winter! thanks for the link!

ikea - private swedish company, I hear they own the majority of the furniture manufacturers in the world!

[OreoGaborio]

Oh nice dude. I need one of those.

I would hate to drive to mass to pay tax but these display cases look pretty good for the money.

How big is the box they come in? I can bring a cargo van but I'd like to fit them in my WRX.

a little taller than the height of the glass...about 68" long and 17" wide

Those look surprisingly great. .. if I wasn't sure it would lead to foolish helmet purchases, I'd buy one.


Bey two on either side of a Tele, bar or bookshelf would look badass.

[Manik]

Do they have single sized ones? I'd like to immortalize my crashed gear... but don't want o have to have more accidents to do it.

They have another model that's a little taller, a little bigger, and has a black metal external frame.

We just bought two to use for trade show displays. They are not lying about the 93 lbs, stuffing two 6' long cardboard boxes full of glass into a small car (also had two hockey bags and four sticks) was major fun!

I foolishly took a ride to Ikea last Sunday, not realizing that every friggin college kid and their parents were going to be there. The shelf is no longer an in-stock item so special order only. $129 to ship it to is a huge FU and I don't live close enough to make the trip if I had it shipped to the store. Back to the drawing board.

[Pittenger5]

I did this with some cheap shelves
