Galant's replacement is the Bekant. Better build quality but limited table top selection. Right now, there are no extensions available. There is a L-top, an asymmetric top, a 160x80 and a 140x60. The legs are an updated t-shape variant of the Galant.

just went to ikea. saw the bekant but insanely expensive (>$200 for 160x80). also no sign of the supposed electric motor for adjusting table height. lucky i hoot a galant right before they run outta stock.:s12: =/

A similar size Galant runs about $200. Plus the Galant has been around forever.

I'd say it's a fair price to pay for the quality upgrade. Whether it's worth it... that's up to the individual.

I think the Galant is still available, for those that prefer a lower price or the wider selection.

Similar sized galant is only $159. Less than 10 pieces at tampines at the time i called.

Seems like the 80x60 and 100x60 extension are out of stock from their online stock checker. :(

I called ikea a few days ago and they said the frame is out of stock. Table top and the legs are available.
