    Default Heads up for those looking for Detolf alternatives

    So the Ikea Detolf recently dropped to AU$129. Better, but still a complete rip off compared to the US$64.99 price in the States.

    On Saturday, 23 August, Aldi is offering its Sohl Furniture Glass Cabinet. It's next to identical, except comes with a lockable door and two keys for $99.99.

    Dimensions: 42.5 (W) x 36.5 (D) x 161 (H) cm, 40kg.

    Detolf: 43 (W) x 37 (D) x 163 (H) cm, 40.7kg.

    Can't speak for the quality, but can't see how it'd be any worse than the Detolf.

    Great.....if you have an Aldi in your state. though Ikea has been known to sell their Detolfs for $99 also as that's what I paid for 4 of them.

    Were they on special, or did you wrangle a bargain as you bought four?

    They look quite nice don't they? Is that silver trim around the edges standard or an addition?

    that's how they come, i believe detolfs don't have edging but it does give a nice place to hide lighting

    Looks like they changed the design to be closer to the Detolf!
