I know some of you guys are in the know at ikea; any idea when they'll discount the old besta stuff?

They don't have a set policy. Some stores will have more stock than others.
Some stores have no stock, they obviously won't have a Besta sale.

But you can do pics i also use the Inreda Mirrors in 4 shelves. you have to find the right angle to shot

Where did you find that Peter Parker?!

That's a crazy price! My Ikea is still selling them for a $20 discount online. I'm hoping that it goes down even more.

Same here. Only 20 off :/

Are GLASSVIKs already finished? My IKEA has none and they're not available online.

 

[Collectorcol]

It's already been confirmed, a few times, that they will be available come April.

Would help if I did more than skim. I thought they were being updated/changed, hoping the current stock would be marked down, but then I jumped the gun and thought they were axed. My Ikea has a ton of black-brown Besta frames in stock. Gonna go see if they're on sale.

The only difference is they won't come with hinges.
You need to purchase them separately.

As if they didn't needle you enough as it is.

Checked out the new range today.

Don't know about the Black/Brown being much darker, looked very similar to me.
Maybe sloghtly darker

The soft close hinges are very nice.

New door, only available in white is the LJUSVIK. 2.5" border with rounded inner corners.
Border is too thick and I don't like the finish, plus i'm using the darker option.

I loved my VASSBO but gave them to the wife, as viewing was too restricted, and bought the GLASSVIK.
Another new door is the SINDVIK. Same as the VASSBO but with a thinner 2" frame.
Really like them and actually prefer them over the GLASSVIK but I'm not changing all my doors again.

That's not going to cause any confusion with the SUNDVIK like of baby/nursery furniture at all.

Really no pics of these new doors, for shame! Internet search came back nada.

They'll be up next week.
Was wrestling with my son so didn't take pics, turn your back for a second and he's gone. Sorry

Pretty simple really... 2" Vassbo frame on the SINDVIK and plastic looking 2.5" white frame with rounded inner corners on the LJUSVIK.
GLASSVIK exactly the same

So guys, I have zero knowledge of besta's but I'm looking at them for displaying my 1/6th collection.

What I can gather are the cube ones are sold as just cubes? What are they called because I can't find them on IKEAS website...

I found my old pic for you, it was several pages back. The individual ones are cubes, yes. Here's a link, they come in different frames. My setup is two 3x1 units in the back, a 1x2 in front of that, and both on top of shelf extensions (1x2). I am in the process of assembling my 3rd one next to that.

Frames - BESTÅ/INREDA system - IKEA

This one was someone else's setup a few pages back:

The series is just called Besta. There are a few different base cabinets available. It's one of IKEA's 4 or 5 main product series and even has its own product planner. If you type "besta" into the search field it will immediately pop up options, including the "series" option.

Ah thanks man, and you've been busy snagging all of those figs sweet set up too

I wish there was an IKEA in Hawaii. Literally no shelf/cabinet options here and I can't ship here since IKEA doesn't have a store...

Thanks PP, I'll give it a whirl, like I said, not able to ship to hawaii due to no store which is ridiculous
