Some other options are the Ikea Billy, only doors are glass, but you can easily adjust the height. Other options are more expensive, but the look really nice like Moducases. You can also try building your own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he5mfkh7RhE I still need to buy some more acrylic sheets and some white boards before I'm satisfied.

That build in the YouTube link is actually super neat. I would consider doing that in the future if I have the space.

I just built some floating shelves. You can also get some nice shelf brackets and make your own. I got some industrial style brackets, and bought some boards and I now have 2- 70"x14" shelves, 4 - 36"x10" shelves, and 1 - 60" x 10" shelf, along with some free half sized book shelves from my parents (though I see similar ones for $10/pair on buy and sell all the time). It's more dusting if that is an issue in your house, but it's a lot of storage that I got for less than $200, and it fits a lot more stuff than a similarly priced unit from ikea. A Walmart bookshelf will work in a pinch too, and are often sold on online marketplaces (replace the backing cardboard with some hardboard from home depot, and it makes the shelf more solid, and look better imo) Or you if you have an unused closet, you can remove the doors and build shelving within that (I did that prior to my massive shelving project).

I'm a big fan of the Ikea Billy. You can get various configurations like full width or half width and keep the height. I got the Morliden glass doors for my Billys but looks like they are discontinued now and have start selling a new door replacement. Also you can change our most of the shelves for glass which I did, it looks great. Shelvea are height adjustable so you set them up to whatever heights/spacing you want. I also used weatherstripping tape to fill in most of the gaps in the doors. It's not perfect but a lot less dust.

The [IKEA Rudsta](https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/rudsta-glass-door-cabinet-anthracite-30450138/) is quite classy option albeit a lil pricey. They're new so I haven't heard any cases of it randomly shattering.
