Kallax GerbilariumAnonymous reviewerI bought this unit to make a Gerbilarium, for our 3 pet gerbils, it was the perfect size and shape for it.5
Great productAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble, just follow the step by step instructions, simple5
Nothing like the older styleAnonymous reviewerAfter having several of these kallax units at home and always been extremely happy with them this one that was bought today was a big disappointment. Comparing to the other ones I have this one is light wood no weight to it. Considering the change to the weight of the wood it hasnt changed in price to reflect that. As soon as I picked the 1st piece out of the box I knew something was off with it. Didn't have the same feel and my disappointment spread. If you don't keep an eye on what you are doing you can also end up with the shelf parts being wonky to each other so keep an eye on that before completing the build. I won't be going out my way to purchase another one anytime soon due to the fact that it feels nothing like the previous ones.3
Craft room storageAnonymous reviewerStorage for lots of kinds of crafts. It's amazing how much you can fit in. Even big enough to hold my overlocker. I bought a 5x5 and this 2x4 just great5
Great itemAnonymous reviewerJust what I required and perfect for display of items5
Excellent for record collectionAnonymous reviewerBought this unit in 'white stained oak' effect for our vinyl record collection. The size of the aperture is perfect for 12-inch/33 rpm records, and once assembled, turned the unit on its side for stability (would have included a photo, but can't do that on the review). Really pleased with the quality, easy to assemble, and looks stylish. Would definitely recommend. It's such a shame that IKEA don't do a smaller/shallower matching unit in the same range for CD storage (had to source that elsewhere).5

Quality

Quality and feel

At first glance, KALLAX is a simple shelving unit, but it’s based on a love for details. The unit has smooth surfaces and rounded edges that make it appealing to the eye and enjoyable to touch. We’ve also worked hard to make the shelves align perfectly so you avoid eye-sore gaps, giving the unit a uniform look. Simply put, all of KALLAX is well-thought-out down to the smallest detail and exudes a solid feel of quality – which results in a nicer and more timeless impression.
