Below is from my PM's. I've had a couple of questions on the risers now, so I'm just going to add it in to the thread here:

Here's what I posted in the Minnesota sightings thread when I purchased these:
"I'm trying ebay item 220236666623. The seller has multiple options for long risers. I ultimately decided on ones that are 7.5" H x 10" L x 7" D. The IKEA shelves could support risers up to 15" in length, but the space between the shelves is I believe just over 15", so I wanted something that split the difference height-wise evenly. The 15" long risers this seller has are 10.5" tall, which I thought wouldn't give me enough room to put enough figures above to be worthwhile."
They're $7.80 each, but $13.99 shipping means you have to buy a few to offset that extra cost. Mine ended up being ~$9 each shipped, but there was the live.com 25% off deal going on at the time (see the coupons and deals thread), which is gone now.
For the cost I really like them. I couldn't find a better deal than what I got looking around at a few sellers on the internet. The only thing that I would like better is there isn't as much room to the sides of the riser as I would have liked. I wish the length would have been 15" instead of 10", but still the 7.5" height that splits the space between the shelves nearly perfectly in half. The longer shelves this guys has (he has other sizes if you look at his Ebay profile) I thought would be too tall to be useful.
