[Go-yuk]

Good news for toy collectors looking for cheap and nice display glass cabinets to store their precious! Seems like Ikea has reduced the price of the highly sought after Detolf cabinet to $99!!

[nagamisan]

[kazuki]

gd price.=D>

I have a few pcs of Ikea funitures at home too, coz my sis loves them. Their designs are good too. But hor i notice their stuff tend to be abit flimsy...:thinking:

Btw, are there any display cabinets which is wide to cover the whole stretch of a wall for normal hdb room?
I am thinking to get one cabinet that wide. Ideal will be bottom half has wooden doors and shelvings then i can keep manga and cds inside. The top half is display with glass doors or slidings which i can display the toys...

[starscream]

Always consider the issue of maintenance, durability and dust-free no free when buying shelves, cabinets :)

most of ikea stuff are self-assembled leh... i think your project need to be customed made and not found in a budget-item store :laugh:

[Jankdev]

Great to see Detolf shelf is discounted again, but alas although a very good deal i got no space in my room for another one of this.

Good deal nevertheless.

Since it's cheaper, can just buy one as spare,
then keep it until u got space to use it lah..


btw, anyone knows the offer until when?

[Lolicon2000]

How good is this detolf shelf?

[jdelpiero]

It's very good!

you can see anything and everything that you put inside..
Even after you close the door!

I just custom a build in cabinet for my room. probably a few years down i would need it. No point lah, maybe the price will drop even further or better designs will follow.

Do you have a picture??

Post #3 by Starry shows the cabinet.

[Koo]

Go to nearest ST newpaper in your home or to the webpage and see for youself, Leslie, dun let people spoon feed you picture!:duh:

[Dio]

...
this is going no where.
anyway, for those that owns the cabinet, are the glass strong? i don't want a case of cabinet shattering for no reason like those tempered glass bathrooms.:beatup:

[Go-yuk]

At first i was very happy to see 20 replies, then i read thru see mostly is :shooting: ....:cry:

Anyway no idea how long the Detolf price is gonna stay. Hopefully its a permanent thing so can wait for annual sale for even better price! :D

Detolf's glass is quite sturdy. But Des and Godmaster have it in their rooms so maybe they can do a review? Try running into it at full speed at see if it cracks :laugh:

I have a lot of Ikea furnis, a mixture of plastics and woods. The wood ones are good, but those treated ones are out of my budget and I can only get the untreated ones... Think my CD storage is being fed on by termites, haha. =))

The plastic ones are damn thin, my storage boxes are breaking (and a nice word, 'storage'). joints are not well done for the plastic furnis, but that's besides the point.

Have you considered custom-made display cabinets? My dad usually makes his own... but there's also some carpenters out there who would make custom furnis, just have to look hard.

K, realise I'm :topic: here, but... hehe. Just my 2cents on the Ikea furnis.

i think its gonna stay for one yr cos i just got the catalog , it never say its on sales or special promo , just stated "even lower price" unless they gonna have some kind of sales which is gonna be even cheaper ... i dun think they will increase the price =D>

[KiraDude]

if i remembered it correctly, its retail price was $129 prior and now $99.

savings of $30.

i heard tt its kinda sturdy and easy to assemble. you can even paint the wood top/ bottom to match your room/ furniture colour as well.

however, the thing is the panels are NOT adjustable - FIXED.

tt been said, $99 is worth the buy ! :thumbsup:

(wow im promoting for IKEA) :D

[starscream]

Picture again from IKEA.

[LooK]

Tink the design is veri old liao.. tat y the lower price nw.. if i rem correctly.. the design been ard for 3yrs alr??

Tink most prob they gonna release a new model soon.. thus the drop in price :)

[des_yeo03]

This cabinet is actualli quite good considering the price....Only problem i have with it, the assembling part, and the gaps in between the glass on the front side....But i m not complaining, good for those who wanted cheap, affordable nice looking cabinets...

Lesile : :laugh: Am i the only one who knows whats gng on in this thread between u and jason? =))

Anyway, u know the situation now right, just cool it abit....L-)

[nagamisan]

Well, even it is an OLD design. Personally, i tink it is like a classic kinda of design. It may not be the most classy display cabinet (without background mirror..etc) However, it is suitable for the basic requirement which is to display ur stuff. For us, it is our beloved hobby aka TOYS...
U need to clean the interior once a while as dust DOES exist in this world. The glass panel which can be opened has a slight gap which will allow dust to enter... But good value for the amount of money spent.

Rating : 4/5

[arianyeo]

Is this a sale offer or is this an on-going price?

[sheldon]

but then again... you're talking about Glassware here... do you really want to spend less and risk something like that breaking?
i wouldn't... safety first!

Des... don't worry, you're not the only one... i think its just some lovers spat.. after all, one half is leaving the country without the other... must be some resentment somewhere! =))

[Marky]

Haiz... saw it just now... but i also scared that the glass is flimsy.. wanted to buy but i wait for awhile..

[Godmaster]

Some posts are taken off from this thread..If u find ur posts missing,the culprit is me..:whistling

Please stay on topic and carry on.. :D

[Jankdev]

I would say to assemble it is not mean feat..maybe i'm not a very "practical" guy.

[des_yeo03]

I would say to assemble it is not mean feat..maybe i'm not a very "practical" guy.

One thing for sure, i could'nt do it alone! :D

[Akira Fudou]

i bought the cabinet at the sale abt 1-2 years ago, i dun like it that much becos dust easily accumulated inside the canbinet due to the openings. Need a lot of maintainence in my case. So rite now i use it as a cabinet to store my MISB and MOSC items.

[Asteroth]

Is this a sale offer or is this an on-going price?

It is listed at $99 in the latest IKEA annual catalogue.

[meow]

I'm seriously thinking of getting 1 liao...:laugh:

[steith]

just bought the Detolf cabinets at SGD 99 each but now have problems creating steps for my figures.

Anyone like to share their experience on how to build steps in such cabinets?

I bought one, many months ago...

And for me, to make steps, I went down to Daiso to get things made of plastic (transparent), unless you want colored, like small display cases, little containers...
Then I use the cases/drawers/boxes as the steps...

I dunno, I think I got the idea from someone here...think it was KiraDude or Urahara_store...:red:

bro,

if u wan more affordable steps, visit Daiso (IMM Jurong or Plaza Sing). it cost $2.

its transparent acrylic box with cover. u can use e cover and invert e box for anothe step.

otherwise, you may customise acrylic steps for e detolf.

[MavericK]

Hai...sonotori desu.

Indeed, as KiraDude-sama has suggested...
I tried out his idea...works good, especially for a poor bloke like me. :D

[steith]

thanks for the advice. Any pics of the box that you are referring to..?

got some display cases from daiso before but dont think it is the one(which can invert) that you are referring to....[

Dunno if they are the ones KiraDude was talking about, but I got these 2 types:

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa34/maverick-eririn/DSCF1381.jpg

And using 2 of the one on top, and the 'drawer' in the lower one (I didn't use the entire box), I managed to arrange my SH figurines like this:

Sorry for the lousy layout of my figurines...:red:

[ghost_rider_3000]

I need sumthing that's "dustproof"

[MavericK]

You mean a display case right? Not steps, right?

Well, Detolf's definitely not 'dustproof'...:)

Depending on how you are gng to bring it hm, by yourself or through delivery? If using delivery, then you ll have to add in another $40, which i feel will only be feasible if you are getting more then 1....:D

Just came back from Detolf-hunting - chiong down during lunchtime, and got the last 4 pieces at the Alexandra branch :p

Ok, scare u all only lah, actually last 4 means the last 4 for that batch ... they take about 20 - 30 mins to restock. As at 11.30 am today, there were 300 pieces in stock at Alexandra according to the customer service gal. 2 batches of about 40 pieces in all cleared out when I was there at about 12.30 plus (they seem to be moving pretty briskly), so you might want to give a call to check stock status before making a trip down.

Had to pay $40 for delivery though (the packaging is long and heavy, will be a hard fit in normal saloon). Threw in another few bucks worth of stuff and am now the possessor of an IKEA Friends Card 0__o

BTW: Limited to 5 pieces per person hor.

just kpoing here, but are you going to get them to set them up for u? i think pay 5% more right? Heard its do-able to set up alone but better to have someone hold the panels in place.

Or did you get 2 pieces for Jason? If so can get him to do for you as a return favour...:laugh:

[Leslie]

All 4 pishes ish moi wan!!
I intending to touch up my place a bit during December, so I think I will leave them in the packaging first. Tackle set-up later.

Also, was considering spraying over the "beech effect" with black or wat - in which case better to do it before assembly.

[Gabriel_Lucifer]

woah big mney big money! Ho tan leh ikea!
anyways thanks for the ifo. i'll call them tomolo regarding of the stocks. cheers!

[steith]

[Leslie]

There was a black version available, but not for the price of $69. Black at regular $99 price.

[MavericK]

Beech effect no longer available...they using white to replace the offer...:cry:

Black is as usual, $99 each...

Can't really say I've wasted my time though, at the Tampines one...
Got a very pretty gal there at Customer Service!!! :red:

been asked by fellow member on this, thought i share w u guys : -

Acrylic box fm Daiso (IMM Jurong or Plaza Sing) at $2/-. e item can be located in e plastic section. ask for assistance if needed.

IIRC, it comes in few shapes n sizes. im nt sure for nw since its been some time since i bought them.

hope e above helps. :thumbsup:

btw, another factor i like abt this is tt its essentailly a box for storage, can use 2 keep loose items - eg S.I.C. parts if u decide nt 2 use them as steps - 2 in 1. :D

[des_yeo03]

Shld not be a problem i guess, those screwed in kind of wheels from hardware shops....:)

[Leslie]

I don't think screwing the castors onto the last board is the problem ... but the weight of the glass is not a little, and there will be more from the toys inside - will the last board stand up to the pressure?

I had checked this out. The displayed piece door is not able to close tightly, which mean dust will easily get in. Maybe it is just the displayed piece.

[nagamisan]

well, definitely there will be dust "residing" in the cabinet. (Even for my case)
no choice, got to do some cleaning once a while.

I thought it was a great idea to use the glass door seals on the Detolfs. After all, they are so easy to slip on.

Then I went to Home-Fix, and found out that they sell the seal for about $20 a piece :o

If I can find the seals for a much cheaper price, I'll go for it. But at $20 for one, cannot lah :(

[jdelpiero]

Jeez!

$20 a pop?! :beatup:


My dad might have lobang for this..

Alexandra Ikea selling Detolf at $85 now

[Hades]

Alexandra Ikea selling Detolf at $85 now
I'm not so sure though but $85 still consider exp right?? I read the earlier page that Ikea did selling $59 before :|

[Leslie]

I'm not so sure though but $85 still consider exp right?? I read the earlier page that Ikea did selling $59 before :|
First round discount was $69 for beech and white (black $99). Then in 2008 2nd round discount was $59 for all colours I think. So $85 not the deepest discount lah, but bear in mind the cheapo sales were all like quite long ago.

[jdelpiero]

Normal price of this in Singapore is about $129 right?

So $85 is still a pretty decent discount if you can get it.

[Leslie]

$129 was a long time ago - I think the RRP went down to $99 for a long while already.

Will prolly be going Ikea this weekend. Look-see look-see.

[[soundwave]]

Yeaps, I got my black detolf at $59 each. :yeah: Can vouch for that.

[Hades]

Yesterday passby Tampine Ikea. The retail price is $99 and now selling at $85. Most probably will get 1 first..
