Door hinges a problem Anonymous reviewerGreat looking and good quality for a budget item but the door hinges/brackets are always coming loose and pop out. Constantly re-tightening them3
IdealAnonymous reviewerI have used the kallax unit in my small living space for clothes, paperwork and some kitchen storage. I used draw units, cupboard doors and flexible slide out boxes. I put the legs on one unit to store shoes under. All work really well especially cupboard doors.5
Nice productAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble and plenty of choices for storage. Lots of space4
Ikea has started to cut too many corners and the unit doesn't last beyond the warranty Anonymous reviewerAt first, I was very impressed by the stylish design and appearance of this unit. However, after just a year, the main frame started to crack—on all sides, front and back, top and bottom. There has been no exposure to water or heat that could have caused this damage. The unit is placed in a newly built flat with no heavy items on or inside it—just lightweight objects like headbands and candles.
No one can explain why these cracks are forming, but to me, it seems like it could be related to moisture levels or the quality of the material used in its construction.
Ikea’s customer support offered to replace only one long side as a goodwill gesture, but that doesn't solve the problem, as the cracks are appearing on both sides of the main frame.
I would strongly advise against buying this unit, no matter how affordable or stylish it looks. Unfortunately, this is a case of "you get what you pay for." A lifespan of just one year is simply unacceptable.1

Really nice looking piece of furnitureAnonymous reviewerWell made product and everything lined up as it should. It's a big, heavy bit of furniture and it takes a while to assemble but is a solid bit of kit and looks really nice when complete5
GreatAnonymous reviewerFirst time buying Kallax this unit is fab and looks even better with the under frame. It's also so easy to assemble with the drawers and doors. Looks great in my living room and with the seagrass boxes.5

Happy CustomerAnonymous reviewerVery pleased with my new unit. Reasonably easy to assemble. Hinges took a bit of fiddling to get right as i’ve never built anything with them before.
All in all very happy with the look and finish.5
Good shelving unitAnonymous reviewerGreat shelving unit, nice and compact so it doesn’t take up too much room.
Ours did arrive with a hole through the box which went through to the cabinet itself but apart from that, it looks nice! We had it assembled after the 72 hour window so nothing we can do about it unfortunately!3

love my Kallax unit. IAnonymous reviewerlove my Kallax unit. I have a black/brown one in bedroom. Bought this one for the living room and wanted to go lighter. My daughter builds up furniture for me and found it difficult to get the pieces attached before drawers to go in. Had help with the doors. Difficult because no holes for to guide you but understand the reason.5
Perfect for the officeAnonymous reviewerLove this item even more now you can add draws and cupboard doors to it to hide the “stuff” you need but don’t necessarily want it on show x5
