hi Ptro, i can't seem to find anything on the web as well

but i remember reading somewhere that GRUNDTAL is 18/8

that is the main reason why i decided on the GRUNDTAL shelves for my kitchen

Hi Apple,

Called Ikea hotline and the call-centre officer said he doesn't know what grade it is, and he doesn't know who else he can direct me to. Obviously he is lazy to go find out. :furious:

So frustrated me went online and left a message asking to confirm whether the GRUNDTAL series is 18/8, because after googling for 2-3 days finally found that Ikea Perth states that GRUNDTAL series is 18/10!

And I am pleasantly surprised that after half-hour a customer service officer by the name of Low called my handphone and confirmed that it is 18/10! He said that Ikea Singapore takes the same stock of GRUNDTAL as Ikea Perth, so what is written on Ikea Perth website would apply to Ikea Singapore as well. In fact, he even went down to the storefront and checked that this information is actually written at the back of those information tags that they have in Ikea. However he also warned me that for some of the products, some parts are not actually stainless steel, so I need to double-check before I buy.

Ok that's it. GRUNDTAL series for me!

Kudos to Ikea (especially Low) for their excellent follow-up. I am impressed.

Hope this information helps to all those out there who are looking for cheap stainless steel accessories...

wow 18/10 instead of 18/8, it's even more worth it

thanks for the heads up Ptro

Was at Ikea preview sales today. Saw some of the price tag (in the toilet section) hanging there got state the density. Some of the items everything is 18/10, some of the item only the bracket is 18/10 and the tube is 17/0. Absolutely no idea of the difference. Haha... But notice the kitchen section display don't state the density anymore.

Ikea preview sales? Both Tampines and Alexandra have right? Me going tonight to get the GRUNDTALs actually... Hope there are better deals around!

BTW,

18/10 = 18% Chromium, 10% Nickel content

17/0 = 17% Chromium, 0% Nickel content

Nickel improves anti-rust properties and takes away the magnetism of steel.

Yeah, both Tampines and Alexandra on sale, but not on the GRUNDTAL series though, except the magnetic knife block. I check out liao...just came back again from Alexandra but some things out of stock (renovating there so think got lesser stock). Since buying quite a bit of stuff and need delivery, decide to go Tampines tomorrow so can do it at one go.

That's one good way to use the GRUNDTAL bar.... to put a pot on it!

Oooh, you got the "flexible socket" , must be quite ex isn't it? How much was it? Is it good to use?

I actually like the magnetic knife block, even though it looks dangerous at first glance.

Not sure exactly, but should run for at least a week or 2 bah. Just got mine, along with other things, got them to deliver since some items are big and heavy.

whew, at least i'll have time to go after my exams
