Shelving BeckyFairly easy to assemble but definitely need two people and a level.
Nice deep wide shelves. Stable.
Best brace everMatthewThis brace keeps my Ivar from falling apart. Highly recommended
I’m no engineer VincentI believe that it could be more sturdy, but it does the job. I guess it’s the bicycle spoke analogy.

Extra SupportNadaI bought an additional one of these for extra support to the HEJNE shelving. They provide additional support to stabilise the shelving and well worth the investment.
Glad that IKEA sell replacement partsChanceBought this because mine broke after disassemble/assemble for moving. Glad to find that ikea has a replacement for this one part. Sustainable and practical.

easy to put togetherKylieThese are great and very needed. I do wish there was some kind of mark to show an idea of where to put them but it is easy to work out
MaterialsBrendonThe cross-brace appears to be something like a nickel plated or stainless steel, rather than galvanised. The cross-brace that it replaces was galvanised. Whatever, it works as expected to brace my Ivar shelves, in fact the additional support and rigidity it provides is surprising.

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.
