But a new innovation was needed for the open storage in metal frames. That’s how "Grisen" ("Pig" in Swedish) came to be – a metal wedge dowel that allows you to easily assemble the frames with just a click. "It actually looks like the snout of a little piglet, so the nickname felt like a natural choice", says product developer Daniel Loader, who took part in the project.

Reviews
Just the JobAnonymous reviewerFitted perfectly in the gap where our cooker was and shelving very useful
Sorry I love IKEA but.... Worst unit everAnonymous reviewerOk so I needed some strong under counter shelves for open storage
These were exactly the right size
I did think a bit expensive but worth it to finish my kitchen
However I thought as it was metal it would be really strong and up to the usual IKEA standard
First terrible to build which is the first for me
Joiners are all plastic hard fit in
The very worst fixing is the clips stupid little plastic things to keep the shelves in place
Every time I move the unit the shelves fall out hugely annoying
Overall due to the plastic fixings the shell still feel quite wobbly despite the metal legs
Also due to the tight space I have I could not use the feet given so that's was another seven pounds wasted and the bottom of the legs is thin metal so I can't even put furniture pads on the bottom to stop my floor being scratched
I cannot believe this unit is worth £79
For the first time I am disappointed in both the build quality and the end result of an ikea piece of furniture normally I ❤️
Great solution to storage problemAnonymous reviewerI got two of these to put under a breakfast bar. It’s enabled me to have more usable shelves / storage space. Looks contemporary and really functional

Story
Shared knowledge creates innovations
ENHET is the first storage series that our kitchen and bathroom specialists developed together. But if you think about it, it's a pretty logical collaboration. Both kitchens and bathrooms need work spaces, storage solutions and organisation – and need to withstand daily wear and tear in a humid environment. We also know that they are areas that many people find difficult and time-consuming to both plan and assemble. That’s what we set out to change.
One goal with ENHET was that all parts should be easy to assemble – intuitively and without any special tools. For cabinets and drawers it was a given to use the wooden wedge dowel which started to replace classic fittings in the IKEA range a few years ago.
Easy assembly with “Grisen”
Reliable steel
One challenge with the metal frames was that the steel must withstand the humid environments of kitchens and bathrooms – without rusting. “We found a method in the automotive industry called AD coating”, says Daniel and describes how all the frame parts are dipped in the coating. “After we saw the lab test photos, it was clear that we had the right solution. They showed rust on parts with other coatings, while those with the AD coating were rust-free.” Looking back at the project, Daniel thinks it provided important insights. “Something happens when you bring together a lot of people with different experiences, and strong and innovative momentum can arise."
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.
