Thanks for the instructions, my son has been having this sitting in his room for the past year-and-a-half not put together, I finally decided to take it from him having no clue what I was doing,,, thank you so much,,,, very helpful,,, 😊
*Looks nice for extra **MyseIf.Furniture** kitchen storage. Matches with oak cabinets and oak floor. Took my friend and I about 2 hours to assemble. Worth the price. We are pleased.*
Thanks so much for posting this instructional video. My wife ordered this from Amazon and it came with NO instructions. Your video was easy to follow, very positive and saved the day. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I bought one of these in 2006. I put it together then took it apart when i moved in 2011. i did it all by myself. I display New York Yankees glasses, bobbleheads and stadium giveaways.
Sorry to hear! Only 2 things to check 1. Make sure the top is sitting flat on the glass at 2:00 As this can cause the screws to mis-align and not tighten You might need to unscrew the other 2 and place the top back on 2. Swap the screws around with the ones that do tighten
I couldn’t get the door close. Seems like the bottom part is not aligned. I followed every instruction except opening the door on the left. Any suggestions on what I should do to be able to close the door?
Hi, You might need to made some adjustment on where the hinge sits to the edge of the door/glass in step 12 & 14 With some assistant (pop the glass guard back on step 13 ), you can loosen the screws to the bottom 2:41 and move hinge closer to the edge of the door/glass. Secure the screws back in. If still not closing, adjust the top hinge as well 3:04
Hi! Sadly the DETOLF is not dust proof, but there are guides on UA-cam that can assist with making it so! I haven't tried it myself so I don't have any recommended guides to follow
the instructions that came with it looks simple but i needed someone to demonstrate the building process and your video was as clear as water, so thanks for uploading this video and helping others
Hi, Not with the IKEA original setup. There are 3rd party extenders you can buy to modified the height of the shelves. My Kotobukiya 1/8 scales fits okay in the DETOLF height wise. Ideally I would recommend a different product, there is the IKEA Besta, which is modular Or a metal shelving

Hi, the two plastic strips that holds the glasses toghether, have to fit inside the channel on the wooden base? Or only the glasses goes in there? Because I noted that the shape doesn't fit with the channel, and i don't understand if it's a defect or not! Thanks in advance

Haha wow that must be a huge figure! I have seen people display with one level removed, but not all three taken out. Thought I'm not sure if Detolf would be the most suitable for displaying a very high value collectable

Thank you so much for this great video! Though I don't have a detolf haha. They do sell it in our country but I live in a different island and they don't deliver to our island. Hopefully you can make a video where to order Internationally.
Legally I say to follow all instructions in the IKEA manual. But if you chose not to mount and understand there are risks even if there's no children or pets, my personal opinion I don't see it being necessary
Awesome stuff! Hmm I usually have someone to help move, with the shelf glass removed. I don't tip it over, just have one person move the bottom and the other guides from the top One it's in place I would put the shelf glass back in!
Sorry to hear about that! At step 12 or 14, I have found adjusting how far the glass goes into the hinge can help the door close better and hopefully connect with the magnet!

Pretty cool all the different uses for the DETOLF!
Hello great video, I have a question about the back screws on 2:09, the two fronts tighten but the back two don't and I'm not sure what's wrong
Sorry to hear!
Only 2 things to check
1. Make sure the top is sitting flat on the glass at 2:00
As this can cause the screws to mis-align and not tighten
You might need to unscrew the other 2 and place the top back on
2. Swap the screws around with the ones that do tighten

Hi,

Is it possible to not use the door at all? Can we just omit that step?
Hmm I guess it is possible, thought I advice to follow the IKEA instruction provided as best we can. Especially for safety.
How is it with dust gathering on the inside? Anyone????????
I find mine gets quite a bit of dust inside, especially the bottom self.
There are guides out there you can dust proof the DETOLF

Yeah not sure if IKEA has an international store
Is there any other display options available locally? Even a shop fitter...?
You know what most people use this for
Hamster cages
That's interesting!
I guess it won't work having hamster cage with figure in them...
do you think it's necessary to mount the detolf to the wall? no pets or children to do anything to it
Legally I say to follow all instructions in the IKEA manual.
But if you chose not to mount and understand there are risks even if there's no children or pets, my personal opinion I don't see it being necessary
Am planning on getting this!
Just wanna ask - After assembly, where do you hold the glass cabinet to shift it to the desired spot?
Thanks in advance!
Awesome stuff!
Hmm I usually have someone to help move, with the shelf glass removed. I don't tip it over, just have one person move the bottom and the other guides from the top
