    The information about maximum load per shelf refers to when the product is used vertically standing on the floor and anchored correctly to the wall.

    Coordinates well with pieces of furniture in the LACK series that have the same timeless expression and material as KALLAX.

    Nice Storage Unit
    Review: 5 out of 5 stars.5
    This is a great storage unit that I’m bringing to my son for his vinyl record collection. We have purchased many of these units in the past and they do a nice job.

    As intended
    Review: 5 out of 5 stars.5
    I moved into a smaller space, and this was my solution to a wardrobe. Easy to build and a tiny vertical footprint, it makes for easy access storage

    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.
