Should be cheaper.

Are the new glassviks the same price or did they drop since you have to buy the hardware separately?

Glassviks are still the exact same price as before here in the U.S. $45. The hinges are $10 per door.

Nice. Guess I have to tack on an extra $150 in hinges to my next trip.

Did they discontinue the black clear glassvik? I can't find it available in the US site

I posted before that I was looking to get a Besta but the link I received said that it only sold the shelf units in the UK. I live in America, New York City to be specific and I'm looking for something that will be able to ship there. I'm looking to display the wonder woman PF and I've heard that Besta shelf units are the thing to go for. I can't seem to find any available online or in stores and I'm wondering if they've been discontinued and if so what's the next best option that I should try to get?

Ikea have stores worldwide.

Well I try to buy it online on the IKEA website and it said it wasn't available for online purchase. I've then check to see if the IKEA in Brooklyn sold it and it doesn't. I'm a little confused as how to proceed.

All IKEAs sell Besta - this is guaranteed, no exceptions.

This is the link to the Besta System at the IKEA USA site: BESTÅ system - Combinations & Frames - IKEA

Here's a link to the tall frame specifically and you can see a very big and blue "BUY ONLINE" button: BESTÅ Frame - white - IKEA

And if you check stock in Brooklyn, you will see it's 5 green segments, which means PLENTY OF STOCK. Clicking the "Prognosis link" says they have 22 tall white frames on hand right now and expect to have 22 through to May 6.

If you live in/around NYC (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Jersey City, wherever), hop in a car and head out to Brooklyn, or even Long Island if you want a more scenic drive. Then buy what you want directly at the store.

BESTÅ Soft closing/push-open hinge - - - IKEA

If you don't want the U.K version just search 'Besta Hinge' on your local site

Ikea have stores worldwide.

And here in the states, about 1 per state. It'll be almost a 1.5 hour drive for me, each way. They say it's done that way to make going to a store more of an experience...

The closest one to me is 6.5 hours away. Consider yourself lucky.

I've been checking craigslist daily as college people move out of the city in hopes I can grab a few tombos

 

[Tatsumaki7]

I would highly recommend stuva over besta. Much more depth. I am really glad I got one as I can now put my optimus and hulk in it I couldnt have in the besta.

 

[Pixelpiper]

With great depth comes great responsibility. Wait, that's not right. Could be a good idea to go to wider cabinet if you also want more depth, so Pax might be something to look at for people interested.

 

[laudel7]

Yeah thats true. I like the stuva as they are the same width as a besta so the tombo doors fit.. shame they are discontinued

 

[Johnny boy toys]

Can someone give me a link for the white glass doors to the white Besta? These idiots sent me a white frame with black doors and I am trying to avoid going back there so I just want to order the white doors.

You didn't say which doors. Glassvik? The URL should be the same regardless of color, then you have to select the color from a menu.
