i saw a post on a diecast message board from a collector that went through the last earthquake in japan (tokyo) and he lost his small autoart collection that he kept in a basic shelving unit. all i can say is that diecast will dent in a big way when falling from 5-6ft and then have the shelf itself fall on top of it 
the shelving unit itself was just particle wood laminate, with hinged glass doors. i don't know the brand. but the rocking back and forth caused the points where the screws held the unit together to split and break apart.
