Is it true that IKEA has discontinued the RAST dresser?
+3
There are so many fabulous hacks out there for the $35 wooden RAST dresser, but I cannot find it on the IKEA website. Seems to have been replaced by more expensive models of wooden dresser. Tell me it 'ain't so.'

I found it online here http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/75305709/ which puts it in Canada. I also found it on, of all places, Amazon for almost twice the price: https://www.amazon.com/Ikea-3-Drawer-Chest-24-38-753-057-09/dp/B00552QBUG
On Ikea's US site, all I get is a pine nightstand, so my guess is yes, they've discontinued it here in the good ol' US. They've got TARVAs. . . .
Your best bet to find these is the secondary market: Craigslist, eBay and thrift stores.
Some have said it's back but higher. Here is a link with images. Hope that helps.

Buy it secondhand.....
I actually just read a Reddit thread and someone said that they went into Ikea the other day and they had them again at $34.99. Someone else said they had returned but the price had increased to almost $50 so it may be different at different stores maybe? The consensus is that it is not in this year's catalog and is not back on the website but it seems people are finding them in the actual stores. It's 90 minutes to the closest store for me but being able to buy 4 solid wood dressers for under $150 may be worth it!
I know this posting is old but just in case you haven’t found them yet, the Rast is now back on sale on the US site as well as in stores for the original price of $34.99. I just bought 2 of them yesterday!
Absolutely correct! You rock! Thank you so much!!!
