New discounted price of the RAMVIK Coffee Table is now $49 instead of RRP $199. I bought one few years ago at RRP. Great functional piece and beautiful simple design.
Took this picture at IKEA Richmond, plenty of stock left as of 8:00pm on Monday night.
Update: Sold out at Richmond, but jaybot advises that Springvale will pricematch
Haha perfect hack! They used to have a smaller square version which I find more suitable as cocktail mame machine
and the parts/initial elements to make it with: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/glen-iris/other-electronics-c…
I may be selling it… :P
I work in Glen Iris… you might have just sold it!
the joystick is higher than the table, how does it slide back in when not using?
if you look carefully at photo 4 the joystick sinks into the draw 0:36 on this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5G-5kAJDquk
Great Price!
Could make quite an interesting starting point for a digital pinball table using future pinball or visual pinball as the software. Both those are free engines and can be set up to run in a full screen portrait view mode for cabinet use.
I bought it for full price last year :(
is it just at Richmond?
I was thinking of heading to Tempe. Can someone confirm if its only Richmond?
Cheers
Yep, only the Richmond store, I just rang and confirmed.
Thanks bucketgirl417. Tempe was closer.
Aah, Is it worth the 50 min drive to Richmond? I don't know
Tempe = NSW
Richmond = VIC
How fast is your car?!
Coolstan meant "fly" :)
This proves I need my daily coffee intake.
I feel silly now :)
Thanks guys :P
@Utopian: I'm pretty sure they are building/have built a North Richmond NSW store? (Out Penrith way, Western Sydney… Maybe that's why he mentioned Tempe)
Richmond store has none on the floor as of 1:00pm Tuesday. They have more "up in the air" but can't get to them until this evening.
Does 'Family member price' refer to a simple Ikea membership?
Just sign up on their website - it's free:

Thanks!
Wow, nice find. Mesmerising!
That is awesome! Wish I had a coffee table like that.
I just rang IKEA… confirmed it is only at the Richmond VIC store.
Thanks for that. Was just sitting in the queue!
Why has this been put in the Travel category? I've sent a report to the mods so they may change it…
It's on the travel category so you travel interstate just to buy the table, considering Richmond VIC is the only IKEA store selling it for this price.
Can't order online and pick up later?
Nope, first in best dressed style
Anyone know if the top has particle board on top where the glass sits on.. or is the glass the top which reveals the large area underneath..?
Particle board underneath.
You can remove the glass and still use it as a table.
I wish the deal was in NSW too :'(
I wish the deal was in NSW too :'(
Me too, have loved this table since when I first saw it years ago.
I can cut it, just by looking at it.
I saw it with my own eyes!
Thanks! Been looking for a coffee table bargain, this with the $5 kebab and chips from Our Deal at Victoria Gardens make this a double deal day.
Will be heading out around lunchtime to see if there's any left.
Will keep you guys/girls updated on stock when I get back :)
Awesome, I want to try after work.
That's a great price!
Just got back from there - still about 20 left. Be careful they are very heavy!!
You reckon this can be a 1 man job?
Drive in, dump car in the first available car spot, power walk to the coffee table, buy it,
get one of the staff to look after the table for you?
Run back to the car, drive to the pickup location, power lift it into the car.
You reckon that's the ideal plan?
Or can I just put the box on the trolley and wheel it back to the car? Will the trolley fit through the exit? Is there a lift back to the car park area?
Haven't been in ages so can't exactly remember..
I would like to know as well. Hopefully there are some left tomorrow.
Yeah make sure you grab a flatbed trolley, then after you pay when you go out the exit on L3 there will be a staff member who will look after it while you go get your car.
Thanks for the info b.
My sister just reported back a staff lady took the remaining 10 and marked it as sold out. She was able to grab 2 luckily.
no way!!!
was heading out too!!
=\ staff took 10.. hrmm…
Staff cannot hold onto them for themselves to buy, it's against the staff policy, it would have been for an order or something.
Still, what a greedy person to purchase all of that :/
greedy person ebays.. guaranteed.
There should be a limit of 1 per person!!
Confirmed: All gone. Sold out
thanks op! going to get one after work
edit. didnt see comment above :(
So an un-named internal source has informed me that Richmond is indeed sold out/reserved, but there are 100 or so at the Springvale store.
Person said to play the ignorance card and get Springvale to price match the Richmond store price.
Confirmed :)

Hope you're visit is much shorter!
Went to the warehouse - told to go to returns counter
Returns told to call department manager.
Department manager told returns to call duty manager.
Cash register lady needed to make sure I was allowed since duty manager said no to her previously.
So go to returns and ask to price match, hopefully you get Myles, the guy that served me.
Called up to make sure, said there were 6 left so headed out.
Confirmed with my 2 sad eyes that they are SOLD OUT while standing here in front of the display one typing this right now.
=[~
OP please up post to EXPIRED :(
Stock at Springvale if you can be bothered! Read my post above.
Wish they came in white.
I took the last one that was on the floor. It had a small ding on the box but internally look good
Picked mine up at about 11:30AM, there would have been exactly 11 left. Wow, seems like I just managed to grab one before the last person did, followed by the remaining 10 by the staff. I'm a big guy and needed my mate to help me lift it onto the trolley, I expected it to be light but damn is it heavy!
=(
Just bought two from Sydney. The store manager was happy to match price after half an hour argument.
Did it go like 'but someone on the internets got it'?
From Tempe? Reckon you can post up the receipt?
If this is possible it would be great! Please post the receipt. Thanks
Went to springvale where there is stock but duty manager refused to price match. Said Myles did that as one off and its for Richmond only.
That sucks, I wish I broden'd them all for everyone but I thought I was pushing my luck getting 1.
I know Ikea Adelaide has different pricing under normal circumstances, but does anyone know if this is the price for them at Ikea Adelaide now?
I just came back from there at 845pm, 26/8. There's a sign saying there'll be more stock tmr.
Confirmed there "WERE" stock in the isle… about 20 of them this morning. Got in first thing 10am.
Some grabbed 1, some grabbed 2, some guy grabbed 4, by the time I got mine there were only 6 left in the pile.
Was at the checkout and saw more people coming in, straight down to the isle so I guess mostly it's all gone.
That's the last of them and today is the last day for the special price.
So consider them 'SOLD OUT' at Richmond store. You can test your luck at another store for price match but so far there's only been 1 successful buyer. Others have been knocked back.
:)
Was planning to go down again lunch time. Thanks for saving me a trip.
Any more successes with springvale store?
link to what it looks like
and then how to hack it
