Hi Steve

Unfortunately this storage unit is being discontinued in Feb 2014, but we should have some deliveries mid-September. Can't guarantee this for definite, but will be able to check closer to the time.


Best wishes,


Aisha

Bummer!

It can't be through lack of sales, though :laugh:

That is typical, just when something is found that fits the bill exactly, they take it away  :'(

It would happen at a time when my coffers are bare as well  :censored:

Due to too much "misuse" maybe? :D

There are these which I found on my last visit to Ikea, designed to be a modular storage system but similar size as an APA
