I recently heard that Ikea was planning on retiring the Detolf glass cabinet line. After calling them, they confirmed in the system that it was to be discontinued in January 2024. Does anyone know if anything similar has been announced? Are there any similar or slightly larger cabinets that people recommend?
Additionally, does anyone have any experience with detolfs or similar glass cabinets on the 2nd floor of a townhouse or house in a room that tends to get a bit hot? We used to have a few detolf cabinets but ended up having to sell them when we moved. The room they were in had a fan that we could turn on in the summer. We often had to close the door when we weren't home because of our cat. The townhouse we are currently in gets a bit hot upstairs, so we have a plugin fan, but would possibly still need to close the door. I've heard issues of some glass cabinets shattering, and just want to make sure that whatever we decide to go with would be safe to keep around animals in a hotter area of the house.
How sturdy is the IKEA DETOLF?
good quality replacement for the ikea detolf now that its gone?

My current display shelf is a large open steel shelf and I’ve been considering getting me a detolf or two (and some other shelf suggestions), but I see some reviews saying it's not that durable.
What’s your firsthand experience with it and how do you maintain it?
