IKEA has new display cabinets or GO FARGSTARK YOURSELF!

I get the wasted space on the bottom but my biggest complaint about Detolfs (and don't get me wrong I have 7) is putting a statue on the bottom shelf you might as well display your statues on the floor. JMHO. So right now 6 of my 7 Detolfs have nothing on the bottom shelf.

It's about 3" taller than a Detolf. According to IKEA a Detolf is 16 3/4x64 1/8 " but the Fargstark is about a couple inches wider.

To me, it looks a little less sturdy with the bottom being open like that.... but its probably just a perception thing.

I need to see it in person. I like the wider shelves, but I am not sure if I like the design of the bottom.

I have 4 Detolfs

Uggh... that split in the middle is a huge eyesore -- as are those legs. Yeesh. I prefer the detolf, even though I also have an issue with the bottom level.

That's the name of a line of products Ikea offers. Also can get a lamp and a rug. The translation into English = Colorful. Here's the matching rug:

Any info on the dimensions of each shelf?

Without seeing in person, this is my first take as well.

I am building a simple platform to put my detolfs on which will raise the entire unit to a point where the bottom shelves aren't so low. Problem solved.
