BESTA Shelf, blackAnonymous reviewerExcellent design and quality. Can be used in various designs5
Sizing issues - a little too wide for besta units.Anonymous revieweri have had 3 different shelves and they are probably 1mm too wide and make it super tricky to instal. My advice if you plan to use on besta units install them first before you add the top unit. It may damage the sides if you try to slide or tap in at an angle. IKEA you need to do better with these.1

Poor workmanshipAnonymous reviewer2 cardboards covered by a thin plastic cover.
The same in 2023 and 2024 was a fine quality.
In 2025, you are better off buying similar piece from Poundland or Range in less than half the price.1
Shelf issues Anonymous reviewerI’ve spent time assembling the three Besta carcass that I purchased after fitting the shelves and doors to the instructions adding the metal shelf brackets that are supplied to bring shelves to meet the door but in doing this it leaves a gap of about 15mm at the back of the shelf.
After spending £450 it’s not what I expect from IKEA
Why can’t you have an option for a larger shelf to fill this gap as this gap at the rear looks like something has been assembled wrong.
I await your response to this issue please. 3
Besta shelfAnonymous reviewerGreat shelf, fits perfectly 5
Glass ShelfAnonymous reviewerAfter first ordering the wrong size glass shelves for my Besta cabinets, I finally got the correct size! My fault entirely. Very good for the price, and makes the cabinet appear lighter than a solid shelf. Ill also add, when I took the wrong size shelves back to IKEA, the returns process was brilliant. 5
Sticker on glass REALLY hard to removeAnonymous reviewerIt comes wrapped in cardboard and cellophane but someone still thought it wise to add a sticker carrying the product code directly to the glass.
It is very difficult to remove (10 minutes+ with a razor blade), resulting in smears all over the glass.

Full depth shelf pleaseAnonymous reviewerA full depth option is required for situations where you have a glass door on top half of 128cm tall unit for example. Yes you can bring shelf forward to hide gap at front but then you have a gap at the back. Neither option looks very professional4
