If I ever switched to a 3x1 glassvik (if they make it) maybe I'll cover the frames with this

Okay, some things I found out at my local IKEA today. Glassvik doors will cost $35 for the 1/2x1 and $45 for the 1x1, the 2x1 were not available at the store yet. The frame is indeed thinner than the Vassbo and the material is like a TOFTA I think, not wooden like the Vassbo but it's like a glass frame, don't know if that makes sense or not. Think of the door/window pictured below, the black part being the frame of the Glassvik. It's a bit heavy similar to the TOMBOs, and it does look very nice. I opted for the TOMBOs though because they were on sale, but I'm debating or not whether to get one once they are available in white again. Also, they have white, black, and for each of those, a frosted/smoked window, which of course is useless for us who want to display and show off our figures/statues.

These doors could work very well considering how thick the frames are on Besta. And if the glass covers the entire surface it's going to have a very contemporary look. Nice. Smoke glass isn't going to work for a display cabinet, so let's hope they also have a clear option.

They do have a clear option.
The stock photos are never a good indication of what to expect. Hopefully someone will be the guinea pig for us, because I will be setting up a besta display in early may and I'd like to know what to expect. So if you buy any of these next month, be sure to take in person pics of your cabinets!

If they have the white framed one at my store tomorrow, I will be getting it. I have to exchange my new shelf because it was missing some things.

Bit gutted it wasn't a thinner wood frame but saved me a few quid.
I'll stick with the Vassbo/Tombo for now.

Agreed, been looking for a thinner, wood framed alternative to the Vassbo as well.

The last 20 pages of this thread has mainly been about the demise of the Tombo.

Anyone know if this is an old item? Can't find anything about it...

Has to be old. The instructions were posted to Ikeafans back in 2008: https://www.ikeafans.com/forums/ike...anor-display-case-instructions-annotated.html

Thanks PP. Yeh, spotted the date shortly after I posted the question.

They have some other new cases similar to that one, I guess updated versions. Not sure of the name/brand/type, but they don't look so good and cost more than the detolf, although seeing the detolf in person, it has a stable base but I don't really like the interior construction, plus all the gaps.

The Fabrikor? Fugly!
That Skanor looks sweet.
Detolfs are amazing for the price.

Without the gaps in the Detolf, all the characters inside would asphyxiate.

Would a TOMBO door frame the PF Batman or is it slightly too tall?
