Good to know
Tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger and more resistant to breaking than regular glass. In case it would break, it shatters into many granular pieces to reduce the risk of injury.

Reviews
Glass cabinetAnonymous reviewerI initially looked around many different places and each time I ended going back to IKEA. I then brought two of these at the same time. Easy to put together and very sturdy. Price was also very good. Glad I purchased them and would buy again if needed.
Good cabinet but too few shelves and not available as an accessoryAnonymous reviewerPurchased to display a toy soldier collection. Very useful for this but only 3 shelves is ridiculous, especially as you can't buy extra shelves. I ended up buying two units and throwing the 2nd one away bar the shelves and fixings - what a waste.
Blaliden glass display cabinetAnonymous reviewerVery happy with this purchase,bought 2 originally,happy with them so i've bought another 2! Am planing on getting 4 more. I use them to store my collection of sci-fi and horror figures. The construction of the cabinets are very good,once constructed no gaps between panels,instruction manual is very easy to follow,after putting 4 together now,can do it in my sleep!
So overall very pleased with my purchase and will be buying more in the near future. Delivery is also prompt and they do deliver on Sundays!
Blãlden CabinetAnonymous reviewerWe bought this as part of a larger purchase of other Ikea products. Easy to assemble. We use it to display Lego. Good quality and sturdy. Highly recommend.
Show caseAnonymous reviewerSecond time purchase says it all very happy
Glass cabinet Anonymous reviewerIts lovely just what we needed
Glass storageAnonymous reviewerVery happy with it, even sourced some spare shelves for it, holds well once made up although tricky screws to put in few places
All okAnonymous reviewerWell made
Blaliden cabinet Anonymous reviewerGreat quality and displays my collection really well. Will be buying some . Really well made with no issues and easy to assemble .
souvenirs and memorabilia storage unitAnonymous reviewerA good glass unit to display memorabilia and souvenirs. Nice see small assembly parts on display at IKEA store
Sturdy and good valueAnonymous reviewerIt was very easy to assemble and I did not have the issues that other people reported. I wish IKEA would sell the glass shelves and the shelf holding corner clips as accessories!
Shody craftsmanship Anonymous reviewerShody craftsmanship at fabrication level. Arcaic machined screw holes, filled with debris, poor quality screws. Very disappointing.
Too smallAnonymous reviewerA replacement for the Detolf that is so much smaller it is practically useless. Your collections which were in the Detolf will not fit in here.
DisplayAnonymous reviewerNice cabinet of metal & glass construction could have done with a couple of extra shelves to which i have tried to get hold of without much success. Needs to be fixed to wall for sturdiness.
Glass unitAnonymous reviewerVery happy with unit. Easy to put together looks great
Cabinet Anonymous reviewerGreat
Lovely display unitAnonymous reviewerBought as a gift, was loved. Now has lights fitted and looks amazing
Display CaseAnonymous reviewerGreat value for money. Easy to make up. Good quality. Would be even better if you could buy additional glass shelves and shelf clips for displaying smaller items.
BLALIDEN display cabinet blackAnonymous reviewerA lot of swearing to put 1st one together, the second one went up like ABC. Read instructions totally first as they do not make them simple!! I found magnets ok, the putting together was a bit fiddly as he has chubby fingers!!! Glass fittings are ok but glass could be a bit thicker but all in all was pleased and I find them quite sturdy.
Really poor alternative to DetolfAnonymous reviewerAgree with many of the other reviews on here. Smaller than the Detolf was, and so it fits significantly less in it. Also at a higher price point than the Detolf was, making the comparison even starker. Also don't like that the view is more obscured from more angles compared to the Detolf. I won't be intending to make another purchase until this design is improved, or the Detolf makes a comeback.
