Finally, something I can post about.

Yes, Besta is coming in another month or so, akkording to the Ikkean I spoke with yesterday. Supposedly the series is slated for release on "week 18", and we are in "week 13". Now, how complete the stock of components will be remains to be seen.

It is replacing the Bonde series, which I was originally going to use for a wall system in the dining room. I'm not thrilled with this change, since Bonde used veneers and Besta uses the "foil effect". I may need to go custom if they look too cheap.

Are they replacing the Bonde series? I could have sworn that they were going to replace Docent. I'm not a big fan of the "foil effect" as well.

That's what I've read around these parts, and it was confirmed by the folks I spoke with at Ikea. It's a shame - the Bonde is a very nicely designed system. I was going to snap up the remaining stock to put together my project, but alas very few components were left in stock here in the LI/NY metro area.

Now I must switch to "Plan B" which means waiting for the Besta to show up for evaluation.

Re: Besta in US?

Now that Besta is in the US, does anyone know when it will come in white? Their planner and Europe has it available in white but I have not found any information about it coming to the US soon.

Re: Besta in US?

After finishing our kitchen in Adel MB last Fall, we were anxious to put in floor to ceiling cabinets on one wall in our Living Room.

Unfortunately, we wanted to use Hallarum... and we all know what happened there.

I went to take a look at the Besta system with Holmbo doors at Ikea Elizabeth . It seems like it may be just the solution we're looking for!

Has anyone used this system yet?

Re: Besta in US?

I saw this line on display the last time I was at the Woodbridge store, so I'm guessing it's already available. I'll be making a pilgrimage to the store tomorrow so I'll be sure to take some pics and see if it's actually in stock.

Re: Besta in US?

I am putting the finishing touches on a wall unit of Besta in the dining room - here's a quick, blurry poorly lit shot!

I had to go with the beige drawers since the beech were not yet in stock...now I'm thinking of replacing both the drawers and lower doors with the Norum white doors...need to have a look at them first. Big part is done with the cabs in place, lighting finished and the trim done, so swapping out doors is no big deal.

Thumbs up Re: Besta in US?

That looks awesome!!!

I've attached the pictures I took with my camera phone of the Besta/Holmbo combination I saw.

Thanks for the inspiration!
