“I was inspired by classic industrial furniture typically used in workshops during the 50’s, as well as Meccano, to create the design,“ Lina says. “The idea was to create these beautiful storage units that have double the weight carrying capacity of any other shelves we were making at the time.” Engineer Philip Nedergaard made sure that the design held true to the heavy-duty ambition. “We built some of what we call ‘worst-case scenarios’ by loading the shelves high with concrete bags to really test that the shelves could safely hold almost anything you would want to keep in a garage,“ he says.

EasyAnitaWas just as advertised
Easy to Assemble, SturdyPaulI found the Bror shelves easy to assemble and sturdy when completed. I did find the shelf support that sits in the middle of the shelf a little tricky to click in and stay in, but eventually after a few attempts it was fine. The powercoated surface looks good, but is can be scratched if you don't take care.

Missing instruction manualAdriaanThe package arrived without instructions to assemble the frame.Quite frustrating,eventually found it online.Its certainly not a straight forward assembly
great and sturdyJennifergood sturdy materials, however, because things aren’t always perfectly aligned, a hammer is required for really getting the pieces in to place
Great set of shelvesJenniferTerrific, sturdy set of shelves. Instructions were terrible and assembly is a 2 person job.
Sturdy, practical and stylishYukiIt was easy assembly as well and really love the presence it gives in the pantry storage section of our room!
Bought one, just had to get another.SusanThey may not look much before putting them together but it looked so good just had to get another in a smaller but wider version. They changed the whole of the Pergola and outside. Great with the plants in pots.
Easy assemble, sturdy, looks goodKevinA single unit would be wobbly and not recommended but joining some together to form a longer rack makes it quite solid. Need to to think and plan a bit when ordering to get the bits right.
Sturdy and neat.TrudySturdy and neat.

Story
The strongest storage we’ve made so far
Does your garage sometimes feel like a lost civilization? Pyramids of paint cans grouped around the car, sports equipment you can’t remember even using and forgotten hobbies in boxes stacked high. IKEA product developer Lina Ringefelt wanted to help out. The outcome: the heavy-duty BROR storage system.
Lina and her team researched peoples’ garage needs and found that there’s an interest in everything from full-on hobby rooms, to a place to pot plants and work on cars, as well as storage for everything from heavy power tools to seasonal equipment. Many people also want lockable, closed and open storage that could hold very heavy loads.
Creating very strong storage
Combining good looks and practicality
The result is an adjustable series of shelving units with closed and open storage, including a trolley that serves as a movable shelf and workstation. But perhaps the series biggest calling card is its combination of looks and function. BROR could definitely be used in the home too.
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Quality
A real tough one
BROR storage system can withstand a lot. The widest and deepest shelves actually hold 130 kg and the smallest shelves can hold 70 kg. This means that you can store both tyres and heavy flower pots without problems. We know this since we tested the storage system by filling the shelves with concrete bags – all to ensure that they can safely hold almost anything you can imagine storing. Regardless if the surroundings are tropically moist or dry and freezing cold.
