Hi all,
So I bought a Detolf and I really want to raise it - I've done so much research but can't seem to find anyone who has used this to raise a singular Detolf....https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/besta-frame-black-brown-60245962/
I wanted to put a singular detolf on top of this to raise it up and I had the idea of putting my replica winged eagle in the cubby hole at the bottom, I personally think it would look pretty good but I'm just scared about whether the Besta will be strong enough to hold it without collapsing. The website says max load 20kg horizontal but I'm not sure that relates to what I want to do and also some people have said IKEA are just overly cautious.
Im pretty sure some people out there are using the above but the double sided version to fit two detolfs but for now and for this display I just want a singular detolf display. The website says the same for the double 20kg max weight - I understand the retold weighs about 37kg without anything in it!?
Has anyone used this to raise up a singular retold successfully? Can you strengthen it? or has anyone successfully raised a Detolf successfully with anything else??
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm looking to change the flooring to wood but not for a while. Would definitely look at fixing to the wall and maybe fixing the retold to the Besta unit but I just want to make sure it would hold the weight.
I dont know good luck
