souvenirs and memorabilia storage unitAnonymous reviewerA good glass unit to display memorabilia and souvenirs. Nice see small assembly parts on display at IKEA store4
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! 4
Shody craftsmanship Anonymous reviewerShody craftsmanship at fabrication level. Arcaic machined screw holes, filled with debris, poor quality screws. Very disappointing. 2
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.1
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.4
Glass unitAnonymous reviewerVery happy with unit. Easy to put together looks great 5
Cabinet Anonymous reviewerGreat 5
Lovely display unitAnonymous reviewerBought as a gift, was loved. Now has lights fitted and looks amazing 5
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. 5
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.5
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.2
It's fineAnonymous reviewerI built this on my own. Easy enough to do, not sure what everyone is moaning about. It is pretty simple. I only gave it 4 stars because it could do with more shelfs and they don't sell extra shelfs. So feel I need to buy another one just for the extra shelfs, as it works out cheap than sourcing the glass shelf separately. It is a bit flimsy but for how much it costs it's not bad. It looks great. I was a bit disappointed that the strip lights I bought from IKEA would not fit through the whole that was in the cabinet. 4
Great product - highly recommendedAnonymous reviewerBought two of these to display model figures. They were easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. Yes - the shelf brackets can be a bit fiddly but once you get the hang of them they are easy to fit. As to the moaning about the door magnets - these are held in place by small self tapping screws so the hole in the door is smaller than the screw and takes a little pressure and the right size of screw driver. Perhaps Ikea could give an assembly rating to items where something a little more complicated than just turning a bolt or nut gets a higher / more difficult rating so that people have an idea before they purchase? As a competent DIy’er I found these easy to assemble and would expect most others to be the same. I do wish you could buy more shelves - there are enough screw holes for brackets built into the unit. 5
Poor excuse for a replacementAnonymous reviewerBought one of these as they no longer stock the Detolf. It feels like a real step down, considerably smaller and feels very cheap. Id honestly wait and hope that they would just make the detolfs again before buying a second one. 1
Awful. Flimsy and thinAnonymous reviewerAwful 1
Flimsy and door did not close properly Anonymous reviewerBought this for my sons bedroom to display some of his Lego - construction was fairly straight forward with clear instructions - but as with other reviews, this item is very flimsy and the door would not close properly - Ikea provided a full refund but overall a very disappointing experience. 1
EXCELLENT DISPLAY CABINETAnonymous reviewerWe bought a couple of cabinets for our shop display, they were so good when they came, that we have bought a total of 13 and plan to buy another 12. If there is one drawback, the cabinets come with 3 glass shelves but can accommodate a total of 7 shelves, additional spare shelves are not offered as an add-on or optional item.5
inferior design compared to the old model.Anonymous reviewer"Blaliden" display shelf replaced the popular "Detolf" display shelf,but it's a far inferior product at higher price.here are all the negatives vs old model :-it's wobbly and feels lower quality.-the frames looks disproportionate for this shelf,they block the view of the shelf content from different angles and just doesn't look as nice-it's shorter,less space inside-the glass shelves now hold even less weightit's really disappointing and strange to see Ikea decided to discontinue the super popular and unique Detolf display and replaced it with something inferior and badly designed.1
More shelves addedAnonymous reviewerLike others I felt this really needed extra shelves. I managed to get 3 made for £43 and it has made a huge difference. I fitted them with left over shelf supports from a cupboard.4
Could do with it being a little bit widerAnonymous reviewerAs seen a review regarding the 1/6 collectibles I’m a writing this to agree with that review.. why discontinue the Detolf? Instead you could have tweaked it.This new cabinet is good but as in title could do with being slightly wider3
