OkSamSmall screws tend to break or strip. Built 10 of these over two years. The batch from this year seem like the screw quality is worse.
Horrible to assemble; quality is poorBrittnyI am fairly new to Ikea so I wasn’t able to enjoy the older furniture pieces that were better quality. This item, however, was horrible to assemble. I followed the instructions about proper alignment. Make sure you have a balance measure tool because perfect alignment is important. The back panel was literally impossible to align because it was manufactured so poorly. It’s crooked and requires a lot of effort in getting the perfect alignment just to secure them with the screws. This was so frustrating for the most part because these panels were so poorly made.
But of course, IKEA will respond to these low ratings with the generic “we are sorry but you can return the item” replies. As long as they are making profit, they will continue to cut corners until they officially lose customers. I think they lost me for good. I’ve had issues with several other pieces that I have bought here and I don’t think I’ll spend premium prices for dollar store quality.
Good but not good enoughGustavoNot so sturdy. Looks good and does what it's suppose but not worth the price.
Looks really nice, but frustrating build and bad QAArminThe cabinet looks very nice fully assembled, but I had three major issues, one of which made this impossible to complete if I didn't find a workaround. The first, like everyone else is saying, is the back panel clips are very, very annoying to get in. Second, the door on mine opens slightly down; unless I pull up hard on the cabinet door handle as I open it, it digs into the carpet and wont open and even then its still not smooth. Third, which is the worst, the hole for the handle wasn't punched out in the correct spot, meaning the supplied screw could not tighten without putting a ton of pressure on the side of the glass (which they point out in the manual is bad and can shatter the whole thing). Fortunately I had other m4 screws so I had a replacement, but the smallest screw head I could find barely fit and I was lucky to find one that worked
Want moreAlejandraIt was difficult to put in the screws, but I was able to put it all together just fine. Worried the whole time it would break. Now I really love this glass cabinet, but I want at least three more shelves. I don't know if there is an option to get additional shelves.
Worse than the DETOLF in every wayMatthewThis cabinet is smaller than the DETOLF, has worse fitment, but costs the same as the DETOLF did. The back glass panel barely fits, took me 30 minutes to an hour of messing with it to get it to fit. The pegs that screw onto the door hinges to top them off don't screw all the way down. The door is crooked. The screws for the magnets that keep the door shut do not fit properly in the holes drilled for them. Putting the walls of the cabinet up are easier than the DETOLF, but everything else involved in the assembly ruin the build experience. Along with the significantly smaller size, this makes the BLALIDEN a worse product than the DETOLF in every way.
Similar complaintsSarahScrews didn’t fit into the magnet holes, it’s wonky, and was confusing to assemble. Wish it came with 1-2 more shelves. Disappointed that this has consistently had quality issues that ikea has yet to fix. Seems very poorly designed :(
Absolutely PERFECT!!!RosePurchased 2 to create a small Lego Display entertainment center for a sunroom space. The case allows the Lego sets to be displayed without getting dusty. I was also able to easily line each shelf with solar copper lights which enhanced the entire display. Couldn’t be more proud of the creation!!!
BestLoisNot large enough but it works
Perfect display caseSandyPerfect size to display figurines and keep safe from being knocked over and broken. Easy to assemble
NOT a Detolf replacement/alternativeRickyMuch smaller than the Detolf. Required a drill to remove the press nuts in the rear of the top frame. Had to use a dremel with a cutoff wheel to notch out the rear of the top frame to allow the back glass to fit. The press nuts have to be removed because the glass will not got beneath them where the clip is supposed to be attached for securing the top of the back glass. It's like the glass is almost a 1/4" too long.
I am going to try and get the 2nd one assembled now. I am hoping that quality control just missed one. Not very hopeful though.
3 hours to assemble?!?
I bought 4 of these... Am i going to need to modify the top frame part on all of them. Our closest IKEA is almost 40 miles away in downtown Atlanta. What am I going to do, return them? Unless they bring back the Detolf, what else am I going to use? I already have 8 Detolfs and wanted to keep the same style.
I have NEVER had a single issue with IKEA furniture before.
Great Case!CharisseI love these cases! They are easy to put together, and are beautiful! I'm just sad that you raised your prices on all of your glass cases before I could save for a couple more I want.
No Light?!?SaninIm looking at the 3D photos and it shows a light. I figured it would come with a light. However. There was no light in the box. I’m assuming this was a sold separately feature? I don’t see anywhere in the description that you have to purchase the light separately. Was I supposed to get a light?
Worked out, but…AlejandraI want more shelves. I need to only buy the shelves so I could be completely satisfied. I keep checking to see if tiles sells them separately but no. :( I saw so many complaints about building it but I was able to do it. I did struggle with the hole to the door handle.
Not even closeRebeccaHello, I have not bought these cases yet, I have 5 of the old one these are replacing. Why are they 5 in shorter and not as wide. I have all 5 of my cabinets against one wall, I need two more cabinets and I can't put them next to the ones I already have. And after reading these reviews I know the size difference isn't going to be the only thing that bothers me. Very disappointed Ikea shopper. Why did you change the design so much?
Great ItemKevinVery easy to put together. Easy instructions. The best was the delivery method, was on point . No delays and nothing was broken. I was worry about the glass. Overall great buy.
Painful. Cheap. Waste of moneySamThe magnet screws on the door don't screw in. Hole is too small.
The corner bracket "clips" are straight up dumb. Just trying to screw them in expanded the holes so the screws don't fit. And I used a hand screwdriver not power.
The instructions are worthless.
This detolf replacement is a waste of time and money- ikea really screwed this up. Im going to reconsider buying ikea in the future
A nightmare to assemble RicardoI’ll keep it short and simple a complete utter nightmare to assemble. The screws wouldn’t fit in the tiny holes, Unless you had a perfect angle the instructions were unhelpful. All in all I would not recommend this product buy it premade it’s gonna save you in the end.
Awesome ! BlakeGot 7 of them for some 1/6 scale figures I started collecting! Added some lights and now they're perfect
Pleasantly surprised actuallyLynnMy husband has 16 of the Detolf cases for his toys... We were happy to see somewhat of an alternative with these cases, but when reading the reviews they sounded disappointing....So after putting one together these are some thoughts.....It wasn't that difficult to put together...(He did take some tips from reviews and buy a bit longer screws and glued on the magnets for the door) They are definitely a smaller case..Shorter and not as wide...Pretty sturdy, not wobbly...The price was right...(In fact that's how much the Detolf's were when we started buying them.. ) For a plan B they work for us... At this point he was happy to find an alternative...
