Great video! I looked at the FJÄLKINGE a while back for something else and never considered they'd make great shelves for LEGO. I'll have to seriously consider upgrading to these, as I'm currently using a VITTSJÖ shelf to display my modulars and they have a few limitations (no shelf adjustability, vertical bar in the middle, overall width, and difficult to hide shelf lighting since the shelves are glass).
One thing I forgot to mention that folks should be aware of is the difference in price. A (white) BILLY bookcase and a VITTSJÖ shelf unit are $69 and $79, respectively, in the US, but the FJÄLKINGE shelf unit is $249.
Cheers. Glad this has been useful to someone. On price - I'm in Australia, and interestingly, those USD prices are pretty close to Australian dollar prices. While it's always really hard to compare prices across countries, it does seem like Ikea furniture is a bit more expensive in the US compared to Australia, in real terms.
I don't use lighting kits or lighting myself so don't have much insight on that aspect, though I imagine the open backs and sides are a big part of what you need in terms of allowing for wires.
I just had a look on the ikea page and can’t find it either; it was there only a few weeks ago when I made the video. It’s worrying as they wouldn’t normally take a page down if it was just out of stock. Frustrating coincidence if they have discontinued it.
What is wrong with you that you would bully a 23 subscriber youtuber because he repeated a word when nervous on a video? From someone who won't even talk in their own videos and just blares techno music.

Excellent video - you gave me a few ideas with the new setup I am working on. Cheers
Don't they get dusty if you dont enclose them in the shelves?
Yes. Dust happens.
'Perfect' ones would have glass imo..
The Besta range is great too, but get pretty expensive especially with doors.
I can’t seem to find this in Australia. Are they discontinued?

I counted the use of "particularly" five times in the first minute haha
