>>5857683I've heard stories of Detolfs just straight up shattering randomly for no apparent reason...so there's that.
I personally have 4, and I've moved them (while assembled) 2 different times. Once from my 3rd floor apartment to a house I rented, then again from that house to my current house. Never had a problem with them breaking or cracking or anything (stuffed them with pillows and taped them up each time). Hell, I was even a retard my first time setting up a Detolf and reversed the brackets like
>>5857261. Put all the shelves in the Detolf, placed a few figures in there, closed the shelf and walked away to get something to eat. While in the kitchen I heard a smashing sound and I just KNEW all the glass had broken. But when I got in there, all the glass shelves had fallen, but were still in one piece.
So yea, my personal experience is that they're pretty reliable. Mine creak at random sometimes though. I heard that has to do with the glass expanding and contracting due to temperature (which is apparently normal). Other than that, no complaints.
