I am in the process of remodeling my home office in my new home, and am finally in the position of being able to get some nice display cases for my collection. I had my heart set on 8 of the IKEA Detolf cabinets which seem to be a favorite with many collectors. However, it seems they are all but impossible to find. My local store is OOS, as are the next 4 closest ones. One that was 5 hours away had 15 yesterday, but as of this morning now only have 2 (was actually going to make the trip later this week but now it's pointless as I need 8). Additionally, they're OOS for shipping. I've emailed IKEA as to the expected availability but have not received a response. Does anyone know if they're being phased out? On their website they have a yellow "sticker" (not sure how to describe it) on the product page, but it doesn't say anything about being a "last chance" so I'm not sure what it means.

I would hope not. They are one of their more popular series of shelves.
That being said, IKEA may have realized how many they are selling and are doing a product 'refresh'. It happens in retail all the time. Chances are they will make a minor change, maybe change the name and re-release it with a 20$ higher price tag. That product has been around a few years so it falls in line.

It still continues to be a popular item at my local Ikea as well. I've spoken with one of the supervisor's there previously regarding it and they said that it will be in stock again soon. In the past I have seen them keep the same item but retool or do a slight assembly modification and it continued to be the same price and same name.
I've got 3 of them myself and it works for my current setup but I had to go to an Ikea about 30-45 minutes from my place. |

I was at the Ikea near Seattle WA this weekend. That location has removed their floor display from the show room. I'm worried that the Detolf has been discontinued. I should have spoken to a employee when I had the chance.

As for me I'm going to be moving soon too and setting up a toy room. I have my eye on the IKEA Billy bookcases with glass doors. No dust, customizable shelving, and relatively cheap. I plan on lining my walls with these, the only problem I foresee is their depth. |

I really don't care how much they cost...at $65 they're great, but I'd pay $100 each right now if I could just buy some.

They have a $99 DVD Cabinet but it is only like 10 inches width and no glass shelves : ( I'm really bummed...I was going to buy 10 of them yesterday : ( : ( : ( : (

Link here: IKEA | Dining storage | Display cabinets | DETOLF | Glass-door cabinet
I live in Ohio...over the weekend the stock at one of the Chicago stores said 15. I was actually going to make the trip to get 8 of them, however I checked this morning and now they're down to 2. I really hope they're not discontinued...I haven't been able to find anything else remotely similar. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
