Product details
You can move the shelves in 3 different positions, which makes it possible to place the shelf unit against a wall or between two desks without it taking up extra space.
The shelf unit is easy to fix in place or remove as needed since it has screw mounts.
The screw mounts have a soft surface that protects the top of the table from scratches and pressure marks.

Very useful desktop tidyAnonymous reviewerJust what I needed as a desktop tidy. It is versatile, can be assembled to sit next to a back wall or by using the centre fixing holes could divide a desk into sections.
I found it easy to assemble, just needs patience and a bit of jiggling.Anonymous reviewerLovely on my glass art desk, gives me more space to keep mixed up paint containers, one shelf for art supplies, the other for jewellery making supplies.
Desk tidyAnonymous reviewerExcellent storage to keep desk clutter-free
It doesn't fit the purpose.Anonymous reviewerThe alignment is incorrect.
Brilliant product and simple to assemble Anonymous reviewerBrilliant shelf system easy to attach to a desk or table and movable if you need to at a later date without damaging the surface and best of all no having to drill the wall
Excellent idea and extremely handyAnonymous reviewerThese are very useful when you need more space on the desk. My daughter, who is a university student, has the white one and I the black one. Very pleased with them and so easy to attach. Excellent design, well done
Great addition Anonymous reviewerThis is an easy to assemble extra which fastens on to a desk to provide extra storage.
A place for those desk bitsAnonymous reviewerBit fiddly to assemble but it's pretty spacious and gets all the secondary tat off the desk!
Update to previous 1 starAnonymous reviewerThe 1st item, the screw holes were too small in one of the L-brackets (assumed from previous version stock). Ikea don't sell the L-bracket so they replaced the whole unit.
Putting together was much easier this time and customer service was excellent. My tip in the build is to test screws fit first.
When screwing in the L-bracket, it's easier to finger screw one in first without the 3rd metal support. This let's you line up the second screw and finger tighten. Remove your first screw and line up the clamp and re-screw in. It will make sense when you have the instructions. If you don't do that, it can be quite fiddly.
The unit itself is great but sounds tinny when touched. Plastic might do better acoustically but probably wouldn't last.
Overall happy with the product. Very happy with CS.
Quality control - screw holes different.Anonymous reviewerOne L-bracket takes screws absolutely fine with fingers to initially tighten. The other L-bracket will not as the holes are too small. I thought perhaps the paint was too thick but even after the threads are bare metal, the screw won't fit at all. The other reviews mention holes too big so maybe this bracket is from old stock before the screws were changed? I need either a new bracket which doesn't have a part number in the manual or 2 screws to fit. Disappointing as it will cost me more than the value to commute to return. I'd prefer a replacement bracket posted.
What a clever idea. Anonymous reviewerVery clever idea fits perfectly on the back of kallax unit for extra storage. Very sturdy and easy to keep clean. I would definitely buy another one.
Excellent desk storageAnonymous reviewerHard to assemble
Excellent addtion to my deskAnonymous reviewerThis is great when you want a little extra space on your desk for the likes of some small plants or other desk accessories
Great desk additionAnonymous reviewerWorks well, easy to put together
The structure assembly is tricky Anonymous reviewerPositives first - The product is neat and fits in nicely to the desk.
Assembling it was a poor experience since the clamp assembly frame has small screws supplied and one needs to fiddle with it frustratingly to get the slots and the inside holder holes aligned so that the screws can go in through these 3. Assembling this simple product was a horrible (tho’ rare) experience which I did not enjoy hence taking 2 stars away. This can be easily fixed by supplying a bit longer mm 4x screws (ending 076)
Assembling is trickyAnonymous reviewerA bit difficult to put those screws and washers in while holding parts together. Managed to put it together at the end but didn’t expect its this tricky given a simple structure
Lovely itemAnonymous reviewerIt saves a huge amount of space on my desk which feels so organised now. Great stuff!
Great space saver!Anonymous reviewerThese are a great idea! Perfect for my sons new desk (linnmon desk with adjustable legs also from ikea) we got them in black and it looks smart in his grown up room ready for secondary.
Would definitely buy these for other rooms and uses!
Lovely!Anonymous reviewerBought two, bit deeper than I thought
Value shelf for sewing tableAnonymous reviewerI read all the reviews and didn’t get put off. I’m so glad! Was easy to construct and apply to table. Now I have a place to keep bobbins etc near the sewing machine.
