To shield our balconies from weather, wind and exhaust fumes, it usually isn’t enough with the protection from the neighbour above. That’s why the team decided to create a cover for HYLLIS. They made it transparent and added ventilation holes. It makes it possible to use the cover and the shelf as a greenhouse.
Practical storage solution in galvanised steel for small spaces indoors or outdoors. Just as suitable on the balcony as in the hallway, kitchen or bathroom. Sturdy, lightweight and approved for wet areas.

Impossible to assemble. AVOID!ClaireOnly two of the holes lined up. Worst IKEA product I've purchased. Make it more expensive and improve the manufacturing quality please!

Hyliss- great shelving. Anonymous reviewergreat shelving
Great product AnnetteI am very happy with this product. Good quality.
Great shelving for the shed or outdoors. JosephineGreat product. I have 5 of these shelving in my shed and one outside, with the cover. Perfect for my needs. Would definitely recommend.
Quick delivery and exactly as expected FionaBasic metal shelves. Just what was needed
Easy to build, endless use cases LarsI like HYLLIS very much as it can be build very easy. I use it in the storage room for cupboard goods but also outside ar the balcony for some plants.
shelvingMarcSimple, low cost shelves. Pain to assemble though but for the cost and what I wanted it for, perfect.
Brute force required to assemble itCI have been assembling flat pack furniture for decades without difficulty. This, however, was a nightmare. The holes don’t naturally align & require huge force to push them into alignment (in my case I had to sit on the unit to achieve this). Covered in bruises by the time I finally finished it. Such a shame.
HyllisElaineLight and versatile, smallest one is perfect for a small area. Practical and looks well. Would recommend
Impossible assemble, refund for the first time in my life.Tolga Baris-Impossible to assemble
-Refund for the first time in my life
-Lost trust in Ikea
-Costed me an hour
Summary: I don't suggest buying this item.
Not as sturdy as expected LydiaThese are flimsy enough that the shelves got bent during delivery. Fiddly to assemble even for someone experienced in putting together ikea products!
Cheap and cheerful,CathyCheap and cheerful,
Hyllis ShelfCarolNow that the shelf is assembled I would give it a good rating. It is used for closet organisation and does it’s job well. Assembly was difficult, however, as the screw holes were not properly aligned.
My versatile HyllisHowardGood strong versatile product - great for storage and/or display - I bought two they stand side by side in a utility room and I get so much stuff off the floor and on to them
As expected. Needs two toGillianAs expected. Needs two to hold and screw if you are a novice 😊

Story
HYLLIS creates room for life on the balcony
Some of us live smaller than we’d like. It often means a constant hunt for more space. So why not try and use the space we have in smarter ways? This was something our product developers wanted to help out with when they created a small version of HYLLIS – a shelf that fits almost anywhere – and can be used if you want to grow your own herbs and small plants.
Philip Dilé, one of the members in the development team behind HYLLIS, live in an apartment with balcony in southern Sweden. “My balcony is filled with stuff. I’d like to use it for something other than storage, and I think many of our customers feel the same way.”
Cover from the elements
Become a balcony farmer
“I grow herbs myself. It saves money and it’s fun to see life sprout on your own balcony. I think people who live in cities should be able to grow small plants and herbs too, even if they don’t have access to a garden,” says Philip. With HYLLIS shelf and cover they can do it in a small scale and use the balcony for more things than storing – a greener life and a smarter use of space at home.
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.
