I'm not going to miss them, never liked them much. If only IKEA would take this opportunity to come up with something better! Some day, perhaps.

Agree. Anything more than 2 to a shelf and they look cramped.

Re: Detolf Discontinued
I like them for the price and size. I live in a small apt. And would love a nicer shelf to display my stuff in but why go all out when my residence is temporary. Also I read on another board that Ikea is having problems with a supplier and that the are expected to have them back in. Also if they were discontinued I would think/hope that they would be removed from their website...but this is Ikea we are talking about.

Yeah, I've been checking. Any suggestions for keywords?
"detolf" (never gets any hits)
"glass cabinet"
"glass curio"
"IKEA"
"IKEA glass"
"IKEA cabinet"

Re: Detolf Discontinued
I just checked all the US stores on the ikea website and a couple of stores still have them in stock. Does anyone know if they will ship them.

Re: Detolf Discontinued
Hey Maglor, I know just how you feel. This totally sucks. I've been out of my house for a year for a renovation and the whole time the thing I was really looking forward to was getting a couple of Detolfs to mark the end of a very long and very expensive process. They were the only things I knew I wanted for showing off my best figures. A pox on your suppliers Ikea!
All I know is I'll be damned if I pay more than twice as much as a Detolf for something like the Amazon display cabinet or the Besta system so I think I'm going to have to give up on the cabinet idea altogether and look at using glass or acrylic shelves attached directly to the walls.

Re: Detolf Discontinued
Detolf have jut been put on sale here in Denmark, which usually means that they are going to be discontinued.
They do however have some alternatives, although they will surely not match the Detolf if you have several already

Hemnes: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50176266
Bjursta: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40187557
however I think that the system that IKEA isn't going to discontinue right away is probably Besta and you can use these Inreda glass shelves and Mirrored glass shelf inserts to turn it into a display cabinet

Re: Detolf Discontinued
Here is the email response I got from Ikea on friday.
Hello Jami,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Both the 101-192-06 DETOLF glass-door cabinet in black-brown and the
100-110-55 DETOLF glass-door cabinet in beech effect remain currently out of stock at both IKEA Orlando and online from IKEA Home Shopping.
Typically, issues affecting stock availability often arise when unexpected delays have been encountered by our manufacturing supply partners.
We estimate stock availability on the black-brown DETOLF by approximately the beginning of September online, but are unable to provide any expected availability on the one in beech effect.
At IKEA Orlando, both of the DETOLF cabinets are tentatively expected to restock during the week of July 18-24th; however, please be advised that delivery information is always an estimate. Our products are shipped from suppliers all over the world and delays are possible.
All IKEA Home Shopping orders, whether online or by phone, actually ship from our central distribution facility and not from any store.
If you should have any additional questions, please let us know. We will be more than happy to assist you. Thanks for your interest in IKEA.
Best Regards,
Richard

Re: Detolf Discontinued
Hmm, not sure what to think about that. Why the disagreement between customer service reps?
I hope Thirslle is talking out his/her arse, but I have a feeling Richard just didn't get the memo.

That sounds decidedly more hopeful, but now I don't know what to believe.
Clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.
