Be careful, it's IKEA we're talking about! :wink1:
They did the same with Billy cabinets... changed the design and new Billy doors will not fit old Billy cabinets!
Be safe and wait a month...
I don't know about the Tombo, I have Vassbo's myself, here are some pics.
I used 7mm O-type weatherstrip with a thin wall, so it can be compressed easily.
This is important because you won't be able to close the door if the weatherstrip is too thick on the hinge side.
The doors won't keep...
Dust proofing these cabinets isn't very hard to do, I dust proofed my detolf and besta's with some home weatherstripping and some magnets to keep the doors of the besta's shut.
Not a single particle of dust gets in anymore.. just the way i like it, I'm too lazy to be cleaning them out all the time.
My guess is IKEA is going to convert the Besta to some kind of ''click fit'' system, something that you won't need screws for, seems to be a new IKEA thing, it is only a guess however.
The comment from IKEA that the colors may vary, and that that the whole besta/inreda accesory production seems...
My local IKEA has been out of stock on a LOT of Besta stuff for a while, doesn't look like they get new supplies, except for the frames.
I spoke to someone from IKEA Netherlands who told me they are going to change the way the Besta frames are put together.
Also there may be a color difference...
I had the same problem, it's frustrating, I think Ikea should put a warning on their site before discontinuing products... especially since people are often slowly expanding their besta/whatever systems (and Ikea actually promotes this)
I see a lot of people complaining to Ikea about this...
I also noticed the dioder light strips have become more yellow, I now have a white and a yellow lighted cabinet :S
I read somewhere you can identify the yellow and white dioders by looking at the code on the distributing block, the white dioders have ''RU'' on them, the yellow ''UL''... I'm not...
The two large Vassbo doors have been discontinued, the smallest one will be discontinued in April, only one Vassbo door remains ''for now'' according to IKEA.
I'm not holding my breath...I bought the Vassbo doors I needed while I still could.
My local IKEA hasn't had any new Vassbo supplies in...
23 5/8x15'' will be discontineud in April.... 23 5/8x25 1/4'' will stay...for now.. so i was told.
Stocks have been low around here (Europe) so keep an eye on the stock prognosis is my advice.
Hello,
I found this thread on google after I found out IKEA had discontinued some stuff I needed to complete my Besta display.
Very annoying that IKEA discontinues stuff without a warning :mad:.
Anyway I got some good info from this thread and some new ideas so I thought I'd give you a heads...
