Reviews
Defective design, couldn’t assembleZacharyNormally the IKEA furniture I’ve purchased in the past has been easy to assemble, but I couldn’t even finish this one. Like many others have said on here, the wooden peg holes are misaligned so it’s impossible to finish without your using your own tools to modify the parts. Buyer beware.
I will be returning this asap.
Buns will alway fall outPaolaWe bought the system to create a storage situation for the kids in the playroom but as everyone says the bins will for ever fall and won’t stay put :(
IKEA is a far ride from us and we missed the return window, also keeping in mind that putting the whole thing together was an endeavor, with all the amount of negative feedback back the unit and the bins together has, honestly they should pull this item out of the catalogue or design a bigger bin that actually fits! We should also receive a refund in this regardless of time of purchase, this product idea is great but the execution is totally defective.
PEGS DONT FIT!!!! ONE YEAR LATERAneziaSo I, as have many other people on this page, am having trouble fitting the wooden dowels into the holes. These other reviews are from October of last year… here we are in October 2025 and the same issue persists… get it together IKEA I spent $600 on this purchase
Good Concept- Needs better ExecutionChelseaThe edges are too short for the TROFAST cubbies- the boxes always fall off the tracks.
Doesn’t Function Properly - Bad DesignCharronI love IKEA stuff so much and I really wanted to love this, but straight out of the gates the bins don’t stay in the grooves. They fall out. It completely defeats the purpose of using these for organization because when you slide them in and out they don’t stay put. I had my son put only stuffed animals in it for a while but even that hasn’t made it any better. We are now outside the return window for assembled items but I feel like there should be an exception because it is with both of the ones we bought and its obviously a design problem. Not sure why I should be stuck with something that doesn’t work. I’ve got to say its a shame because they are made of solid wood and the finish on them is easy to wipe/clean. We love all of our IKEA stuff but this misses the mark in a big way.
Super versatile storage benchIsisWe got one of these for our daughter’s room, set it by the window with three dip drawers in the bottom and three shallow drawers on top. Threw a hand knitted pad, made with chunky yarn on top. Now we have a cozy spot for reading together at bed time, and we love it.
4 years later...AngelineI bought this in 2021. I originally bought two of the trofast that escalates but exchanged it for two of these. Our family loves it. My then 1 year old now 6 years old loves it and so do all his family and friends. Soda, juice, candy and all kinds of stuff have been spilled on it and easily clean right of no need of harsh chemicals just warm water and soap. It still looks like new. Very durable and easy to use.
Disappointed Anonymousthe wooden pegs do not fit in the holes.
Not happyJesseI assembled this correctly but the buns always fall out of the slots. Super frustrating. I want to return but I can't drive an hour and a half each way just to bring it to a store.
Great quality ChristinaThe product has some weight to it. I was afraid it would be light enough to be tipped forward by a kid. Sturdy enough that I didn't have to secure it to the wall. Great quality and no trouble assembling.
Storage Bins collapse when inserted if heavy material is in the plastic binAnonymous reviewerDifficult to assemble compared to other Ikea items I have purchased in the past.
Perfect shelves for playroom!CateThese shelves are a perfect addition to my son’s playroom, keeping everything organized and accessible. The assembly was easy, and the quality is outstanding—sturdy, durable, and well-crafted. The sleek design fits seamlessly into the playroom, and the adjustable shelves allow me to customize the space as my son’s collection grows. Highly recommend!
Mid-aligned pre-drilled holesAlanThe pre-drilled holes were misaligned. I had to drill extra holes a quarter inch from the existing ones for everything to fit properly. It was not worth it for me to drive to the store to return it. Please fix this so others do not have to deal with this issue.
Couldn't assembleAnonymous reviewerThe holes drilled for the dowels are not lined up appropriately so we couldn't assemble this and had to return. One of the boards was also warped and would have required some force to straighten out. I've been purchasing and assembling IKEA products with ease for years now, and this was the first item to go back to the store. Bummer.
Just a terrible waste of timeAnonymous reviewerI want to love this for my boy’s Lego storage, but as the other reviews stated the predrilled holes do not line up on the white pine shelves. I was hopeful that IKEA would have corrected this mistake after so many previous reviews stated this, but nope… still selling junk. Received in the mail and tried to assemble today, initiated return and they state so need to drive 2 hours to do an in-store return?! Nope. Shame on you IKEA
Inconsistent Manufacturing JadeI purchased two of these and the first one fit relatively well together despite being the most difficult piece of furniture to line up compared to other ikea items I have purchased in the past. The second one did not line up as well leaving a gap at the top ridge. What was most disappointing is one of them was a solid slab on the top and bottom and the second one I purchased has a bunch of wood that was pressed together to make up the top and bottom. This makes it look really cheap and they are mismatched. I would return if I lived closer to an actual ikea.
Great!KristenThis Trofast is great for toy storage. It is exactly what we hoped it would be!
a real bummerSamanthaWe use ikea products for everything, but this one was a real disappointment. We purchased this along with the wire bins just like the store display and were so excited to get it home. Setup was fine, but the bins will not slide. We got these for my young daughters to use as dressers and the bins are difficult for even me to move, so my four year old is definitely struggling.
They’re cute and look great in the space, they just aren’t functional.
Beautiful, but difficult to assemble ChristalWas very hard to assemble, the slabs were difficult to slide into the groves almost hat to be forces in. Beautiful final probduct just different to assemble.
not what it used to beMarisa We purchased this shelf years back and it is still amazing! (the line that was before the white wash). Loved it so much we purchased another one in the recent past (the one with the white wash). It is horrible; it is not the same quality at all. It doesn't hold the drawers, it is uneven, part of the wood split in the back. I would love to return it, but we are past the return date. I don't recommend it as the quality is not good.

Material
What is solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favorite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the tree species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
