Beautiful CabinePrestonMy dad got me two of these for Christmas as well as the thin, long one. They look amazing and they are affordable! I only wish they had one as tall as the thin one. I believe this is 47.25” tall and the thinner one is 61”. Other than that, would definitely recommend!5
Ikea gets this one rightDonnaI considered buying a more expensive glass cabinet and instead took a chance on the Rudsta. Glad I did. It's perfect if you're looking for a minimal, medium-sized cabinet that is well-made and relatively easy to assemble. We did have to redo the assembly at one point because we made a mistake, adding about 30 minutes to the project. But it was worth it. I needed something that would hold mostly books, and work with modern furniture in a 1930s house. It works! Best purchase at Ikea this year!5
GreenhouseLindaI bought 2 of these cabinets for my plants. They look great. I put lights, fans and humidifiers in them so they are controlled. They are doing the job very nicely.5
LOVED IT SO MUCH I GOT TWONataleeI use this for my plant collection, and I absolutely love it.5

That’s perfect !LeilaVery good furniture with nice color!5
Beautiful CabinetCharisseThis is a beautiful, well made cabinet. You have to pay close attention a couple times in the instructions, but fairly easy to assemble.5
LOVE!DanielleBought this for a greenhouse for my plants. Absolutely love it. Looks amazing. Prefer it over my Milsbo. Easy assembly. And looks perfect!!!5
Defective Build Quality on the RUDSTAAnonymous reviewerLike many other reviewers, I had to rebuild this piece multiple times because the parts didn’t align correctly. The top of mine doesn’t fit at all, and when I tried to install the glass door, the screw wouldn’t go into the hole since the top bar and the door holes were completely misaligned—even after switching the bar and double-checking that I followed the instructions.
The instructions themselves are very different from IKEA’s usual “LEGO-style” guides. This cabinet really needs updated directions, because the screw holes on the metal bars aren’t shown properly step by step. One of the doors also pushes into the other because the handles came bent.
At this point, I honestly think I received a defective unit. Even when I hired IKEA’s recommended TaskRabbit service, the assemblers were confused about why the item didn’t look “clean” after reassembly.
Unfortunately, I feel like I built all of this for nothing—very disappointing compared to the quality I usually expect from IKEA.3
Take out ALL parts before you beginChelseaBox 1 has the second frame piece, Box 2 has the first frame piece. Why? IDEFK. Folks, I love putting together IKEA furniture, it's like grown-up LEGO. But this has been infuriating. IKEA, please put the pieces in the box in some generally logical order. I'm halfway through the build and I realize that the frames are on backward because I started with box 1. I'll update my review when I get this thing together...4
Ikea quality. You get what you pay forBenThe top glass shelf shattered unexpectedly while we were out of town. The shelf was fine before we went out of town, as it was for months, and when we returned a few days later we found the top shelf had shattered. There was very little load on the shelf and the shelf beneath it was able to withstand the combined load of the top shelf and whatever was on it before the top shelf shattered.
Reached out to customer service and was told there was no warranty on this product and no ability to purchase parts for it. They suggested to find an aftermarket shelf part elsewhere. Useless feedback. No help. Garbage product.2
Great purchase!CheriePretty dang easy to assemble, and the price is just awesome! Happy with everything all around!5
Just beautiful!TisshaSo I really don't know what the big fuss is about assembling this piece. I had the first one put together in 45 mins and the second in 30. All you have to do is pay attention to the instructions. They literally draw you a picture!
Anyway, I bought two of these and they will make great greenhouses for my most valued plants.
I requested delivery to the front door but was charged for delivery indoors... I dont understand that part. But, shipping was on time and arrived undamaged. 5
Glass cabinetBrucePerfect curio cabinet. We have 25
Nice cabinet, extremely fragile shelvesVictoriaI'm just going to start off by saying we barely brushed/touched one of the glass shelves after it had been installed and had set things on it, and the glass shelf shattered. The instructions are confusing (more so than other Ikea furniture I've put together) and the pictures for installing the top piece are incorrect. It's a beautiful cabinet otherwise and looks nice with lights inside, but the fact that one of the shelves shattered has rendered it almost useless, which is extremely frustrating. 2
Tried My Every NerveSarahTook 3 attempts to build and lots of reviewing others woes to get together. Got it together and the knows don't align. Couldn't find a solution to fix so just left as is. Went into Ikea on another excursion and noticed that the floor model knows also weren't aligned :( Lesson really inspect the small details before you select a product. Really wanted 2 of these but started with one and glad I did because you couldn't pay me to build another one of these and I love Ikea products. 3
Handsome piece but VERY difficult to assembleToddI purchased two Rudsta cabinets and had a great deal of difficulty with assemble. I had to completely disassemble the piece TWICE because one or more of the components were in the wrong place or backwards. I finally had to hire someone to complete assemble. Now that they're done, I really like them. 3
Very nice shelfMatthewThis is a great shelf, instructions are very clear on how to build and it looks great in any space. Very sturdy as well!5
Beautiful piece GurpreetI needed something to place some plants and few books… this has been perfect fit for the vision I had. 5
