“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.

Ratings and reviews
Heavy duty metal. Beautiful woodGloriaI fully read the description before buying and chose this over the particle wood version. This product clearly states it's pine plywood. I did install this with the shelves upside down so that things wouldn't roll off off. Had this for a year before buying the lower shelf sides and doors.
Works perfect for the reason I bought it.DyanI bought this to work on my stained glass. The height is perfect and the two lower shelves are great for storage. I like the caster wheels for ease of movement if needed.
Great value GrahamWell-made for my small barbeque to sit on.
wheeled tableBobAs usual from IKEA - takes a while to build, but great quality for money
Surprised but Happy to Finish the TopSienaWe mustn't have been paying attention, so we were surprised when we opened the box and realized the table top was unfinished wood (I believe this is only the case for the black metal version). However, this was a nice surprise, so we could finish it ourselves to match the surrounding furniture.
It's a good height to work on, and very sturdy. The size is excellent for an extra kitchen counter/ small, moveable island. Its wheels can be locked, but because of the casters, it can still be shifted slightly until it settles.
Really nice cartElenaWas easy to assemble. Heavy duty and solid. Looks awsome.

Second BRORDavidI bought a BROR cart in March of 2022 to use with my printing studio. Having the experience of the spring 2022 purchase when it came time to build a work centre for my shop I knew what I wanted. Mounted with snowboard vice, commercial power bar the BROR cart has made for a great Snowboard maintenance station

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 cart 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 285 lbs. and the smallest shelves can hold 154 lbs. This means that you can store both tires 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.
