What are everyone's thoughts on the Klingsbo?
Are they the new detolf's?

Are they the new detolf's?
About six months ago I went to IKEA to buy a Detolf to display my miniatures, but I passed on it, as honestly I felt that the cabinet seemed pretty flimsy/cheap. (good for the price definitely but not what I was looking for back then). Now I eventually decided that I need one, so today I went to IKEA to pick up my first Detolf, but they were all sold out. Seems to be the case everywhere in Finland atm. Staff told me they have problems with delivery atm, but they will be getting them again at some point. And also a white version is coming up.
Then the Klingsbo caught my eye. It costs more yes but it's also way sturdier and it has more height to it. I didn't buy one yet, as I also had a few problems with it.
First of all, leakage from the front door: has pretty big gaps for dust to get it. Has anyone done anything to this, and if so care to say what?
The legs, I didn't like the way they bend outwards, making it harder to put two of them side by side. Also don't care for the "flowering" on the lowest portion. Then again, it would be pretty straightforward to just saw off the extra bends and putting some cushions under the legs.
Space between shelves, is this the same as in Detolf? I don't own any 1/6 figures yet, so do they fit nicely in the space that the Klingsbos shelves have? I figured that by leaving one shelf off you could nicely display the 1/4 figures, but how about the smaller ones?
Positives seemed to be: sturdier, comes with a lock, higher/more space. Might get this one and mod it a bit myself, instead of waiting for the detolfs.
You can still get Klingsbo in the tall model - it looks like only the horizontal model has been discontinued.
If you need a large display cabinet, IMO, the best IKEA option at the moment is a PAX wardrobe with a PAX sliding door frame - you supply your own glass or acrylic/polycarbonate panels. Both wooden and glass shelves (with a wooden frame) available. This is both bigger and cheaper than stacking the old Klingsbo units (I lucked out as I bought some of mine used).
