According to http://www.fastcoexist.com/3037899/we-took-ikeas-new-automat..., it isn't being released just yet due to a production problem. It was on the IKEA website a few days ago, so they probably just took it off for now.

Is anyone else as confused by this explanation as I am?

"Unfortunately, Ikea isn't releasing the Bekant just yet. After sending tryout models to journalists, it emailed to say that there was a problem with the labeling. No word on when it will be in stores, though a spokesperson says, \"it’s not a quick fix.\""

Labeling problem? Not a quick fix? A labeling problem? o.0

Whatever it is, I hope it's resolved soon, I'm quite interested!

What I don’t get is why they were even forced to stop selling the desks which were already being sold in the stores. It can’t be a logistic problem. And I was quite baffled by how useless the staff was. They had no clue why they were forced to return my money instead of handing over the desk they had in stock. It can’t get any worse once they are all replaced by robots, that’s for sure.

I assumed it meant something like, "we labelled part 'A' as part 'C', made 100,000 units, and now have to recall and re-label all of their part 'A's"
