Why are we changing the BESTÅ
range?
We want BESTÅ to be best for storage across the home and, by making
it entirely modern, a speaker for great quality. BESTÅ is designed
for TV Media and is modular. This helps you create a storage
solution to meet your needs, whether it be in the Living room,
Dining room or the Bedroom. You decide what BESTÅ can do for you.
BESTÅ is Beautiful, appealing and smart inside and out. For that
reason we have improved the quality in several aspects and added
more functional pieces into the range
What’s
improved?
How is the quality improved?
The quality is improved in several areas:
• The Foil
The edge wrapping has been improved to improve the humidity
resistance. The foil is also overall more scratch resistant than
before.
• The Hinges
Soft-close function in the hinge. Easier to assemble and adjust.
Note! Hinges sold separately from doors with push-open included in
the package.
• The Drawers
Easier assembly. Choose between soft-closing and push-open drawer
rails. Sold separately. The inside of the drawer is colour
coordinated with frames.
• The Legs
The new supporting leg gives stability to the frame/TV-bench, thus
fewer visible legs are needed. Connection plate connects two frames
with one leg.
• TV-benches
Improved cable management. Glass top with cut-out for cable
management
and new 38 and 64cm height sizes.
• The Fittings
The fittings are colour matched to the frame where they are
visible. The frames will now come with cover caps to cover visible
holes (back panel, hinge holes etc).
• New Suspension rail
For safer and easier wall hanging.
• New Wall fittings
Now adjustable to make it easier to adjust the distance to the
wall.
Is the new range compatible
with the previous range?
Are the frame sizes different?
The frame sizes are the same, but we have removed some sizes.
120x20x38 and 120x20x64 will be discontinued in APRIL15. They will
make way for some new TV-benches to make it easier to plan. You can
still achieve this solution by using 60x20x38 and 60x20x64 that
will be avalible in the new range.
Are the colours different?
Due to the quality improvements we have made to ensure the surface
is more scratch resistant. The new Black-brown is darker than the
old version.
The new White is lighter than the old version. Placed side by side,
you will see a difference. The new Oak range will replace the
White-stained Oak.
Can I use the new drawer units in old frames?
Yes, but you need to combine them with NEW drawer fronts. And only
old 26 cm high drawer fronts works with the new 60x15x40 drawer
unit.
Can I use old 16 and 26 drawer fronts with new drawer units?
Not 16 cm high, but old 26 cm high drawer fronts work with new
60x15x40 drawer unit.
Can I use new 26 and 38 drawer fronts with old drawer units?
No.
Can I use the new suspension rail with old frames?
No, the suspension rail has been developed for the new
frames.
Can I use the old suspension rail with new frames?
No.
Can I hang all frames on the wall?
No, 192 cm and 128 cm high frames should not be hung on the
wall.
Can I hang all TV-benches on the wall?
No, the benches that are 64 cm high should not be hung on the
wall.
Do 38 cm high TV-benches require suspension rail to hang on the
wall?
No. Suspension rail is only for frames/shelving units. Fittings for
wall mounting included in 38 cm high TV-bench package.
How many suspension rail required for different size of
frames?
Each 60 cm wide frame requires one suspension rail to be able to
mount on the wall. 120 cm wide frames require two suspension
rails.
Can I use the old drawer units with new frame and TV-benches?
The INREDA drawer units fit in the new frames, and also in the new
TV-benches. However, you need old drawer fronts. They do NOT fit
with the new doors/drawers.
Can I use old doors in new frames?
Yes, all old doors fit the new frames.
The old VARA doors will not colour match exactly to the new frames,
even if the name of the colour is the same.
Can I use new doors in old frames?
Yes, all new doors can be used with old or new hinges.
Can I use new soft closing hinges on all old doors?
All old doors can be used with new soft closing hinges/have their
hinges replaced with the new soft closing ones except
GLASSVIK.
How many supporting legs are needed for the different frame
sizes?
You need one supporting leg for each 120 cm wide frame and two
supporting legs for each 180 cm wide TV-bench/frame. They are
placed in the middle in order to not use visible legs in the front
and back.
Can old legs be used on new frames?
All legs fit to new frames.
Round legs can also be used with the connection plate, but that is
not possible for the old square legs. Old wooden leg might collide
with cable management on TV-bench if put in the middle.
Can I put the new drawer runners (soft-closing/push-open) on an old
unit?
Yes, new drawers and runners can be put in an old frame.
Can I use new shelves in old units?
Yes, but be aware of colour differences.
Can I use the new legs on an old frame?
Almost all new legs can be used. The exception is that the
supporting leg cannot be used with the old TV-benches.
