Has anyone tried the comic cubes and or condos?

[ComicDoc]

I was wondering if anyone has tried or is using the comic cubes and or condos to store their books? What do you think? Quality? Customer service etc?

 

 

This is their website: http://comiccubes.com/

 

Thanks,

Nope but they look awesome. The build quality seems to be up there too.

Did you see them in person at one of the comic cons?

No I saw the site before. I just looked again. I have seen that site but I have seen another too, this guy has some competition out there. Someone else makes really nice cabinets that you wouldn't even suspect house comics at all, and he has a blog with photos of the build process, all those fancy joints and stuff in the woodwork. They are expensive though, but look so much better than cardboard boxes for storing comics out in the open. Sorry I don't have a link for the other site.

I have been toying with purchasing one of their cabinets...I hate the white boxes. However, the dimensions are on the website so I was also thinkin of taking them to a local cabinet maker and having them fabricate one for me that I could paint/stain myself.

 

save on cost

I wonder what they would charge to cover 5000 slabs and 25000 raw books.

I agree very nice but very very expensive! I guess you get what you pay for!

WOW! That would be expensive.

[shadroch]

Very nice, but way too expensive for me.

I'm betting they might cut you a quantity discount.

I'd like to get something like this, but that can be locked.

That's why I bind my comics in custom hardcovers.

Blasphemer!!!

I've been told that each drawer will hold 42 graded comics.

I bet that's the thinner slabs. Not the thicker Golden Age.

That is a great idea...and I plan on stealing it.

I'm actually working on wooden storage system similar to the comic book cubes for myself - I've had to take a break because of the freezing cold, but should be done in a couple of months.

 

Here's a couple of shots of the in-progress cabinets & drawers - the finished version will have a front-plate on the drawer (and a handle), so the visible gap between the drawers will be minimal.

 

 

 

I'm building a total of 45 cubes that are a little over 8" wide (so they'll fit anything up to & including the E Gerber Golden Age size), and another 10 that are sized for CGC slabs & magazines.
