Dumbest screwsKristineOf the 20 or so screws on this crate, maybe 2 of them went in easily with a Phillips head. The rest would not budge, went in crooked, or wouldn’t go all the way, even with a drill or electric screwdriver. This was surprisingly difficult to assemble and I would not recommend it
Very difficult to assembleBarbaraInsanely frustrating to assemble. Just not possible with only a screwdriver. I finally got all the screws to go in, but it’s not even remotely straight. Very disappointing. I wish they were sold preassembled. I’d buy a ton, but my hands have requested that I never purchase this again.
You’ll need a drill!BarbaraVirtually impossible to assemble with only a Phillips head. Hammer and Neil’s would’ve been easier. Will not purchase again.
Used to be AMAZING, now TERRIBLEKariI’ve purchased hundreds of these in they past for gift boxes, before they “redesigned” it to add way more tiny screws. Nightmare to put together, and does not look nearly as nice. So sad but wont buy again unless they change back.
A must have!KimThis crate is charming and functional. Its quality construction is only matched by its affordable price point. I purchased several for my new home. It’s a great upscale farmhouse style that adds a touch of class to any kitchen, bathroom or office space. A+.

Impossible to put together!!CathyI have a high tolerance for assembling ikea furniture and have never been bothered by other items, but this is truly THE most difficult thing I have ever had the displeasure of assembling. It takes superhuman strength to put the screws in - the holes are just not deep enough and are misaligned. Overall shoddy quality and absolutely not worth the effort.
Nightmare to assemble AlessandraI assembled so many complex pieces of IKEA furniture, I'm humbled by how this deceivingly simple box is impossible to assemble. The screw holes are simply not aligned and I wasn't able to complete the assembly.
Crazy difficult assembly BaileeI almost gave up on this one and I love building IKEA furniture. The crate is sturdy enough once you get it together, but the screws are tiny and the holes aren’t exactly predrilled. It was impossible to do with just a screw driver, I had to enlist the help of my Dad’s drill.
Poor RedesignEvelynThis box used to come pre-assembled, I have multiple that I’ve bought over the years and love them. Now, it comes flat and you have to attach all the side panels to the base, which is an absolute nightmare with the tiny screws they give you. Multiple of the screws broke and bent when trying to assemble the box. I had to use a few of my own screws to reinforce the box to make it stable. It’s usable still, but it’s an eyesore with the mismatched screws and holes where screws bent into the wood. Don’t waste your money!
Bring back the old design please!!! This tiny screw design is a flaming bag of poo!!!RyanThe new design with the tiny screws on the outside is terrible! They strip easy, are unsightly and the holes don't always line up. My family has purchased over 20 of these through the years and loved the ease of the old ones with the long screws that held everything together from the underside/inside. The old design was simple and clean. The new design has the tiniest of screws attaching from the outside making it look cheap and the quality isn't there anymore.
I would gladly pay a few more dollars to bring back the old trusty design [and no...I don't want to return it ikea] but I won't be buying anymore with this current tiny screw crap. Looks like I might have to look into making my own :/
Pine crate boxCourtneyThe screws took some work to get in but it was easy to put together and looks great on Ivar shelves.
Screws too smallAdrianExperiencing the same issue raised by all other reviewers - screws for the side panels are too small and strips easily. The "holes" don't match up either (there are no holes, only indents). I could not get even one side panel in, and I ordered 6 boxes... Now I have to spend more money to get screws that will work for these boxes.
Since this is an issue raised many times for the past many months, what is IKEA doing about this? I see their responses here but they have not signaled any actionable step to correct the situation for customers, nor any steps to prevent the same issue for future customers. Offering people to return the item does not address the core issue either...
Crappola MikeWhile the 4 larger screws are fine. It's the small screws, that are hard to screw into hold the small boards on the ends in place and the holes don't match up. Just seems be smarter to use a larger screw, make the holes a little larger your screw into and just seems it would be easy due to the size for IKEA to sell them pre-made.
Poor QualityCarolineSurprisingly, this is one of the first IKEA products that completely failed me. The wood panels were not sanded and had jagged edges and splinters everywhere but that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that whatever wood they selected had extremely inconsistent densities and hardness because when attempting to attach the two sides, one end, the screws went in beautifully. The other end, both sides of the base would only let half the screw in before stopping. Not even an power drill/screwdriver could get the screws more in. Would not recommend especially for the price. You'd be better off finding wood scraps and making a box yourself.
Go to organizerTheresaCan not say enough on how much I love these. Sturdy, completely recycleable, holds a lot, easy to see what is inside.
Holes not drilled properlyLeiThere seems to be an issue with the most recent batch of this product. I’ve purchased many of these crate boxes over the years, and they’ve always worked great. However, the two I recently bought had misaligned holes that didn’t match up with the screws just as other customers have noted. I ended up drilling the holes myself to make them work, but if you’re not up for doing that, I’d suggest holding off on buying this product for now. Hopefully, this gets resolved in future batches!
Could not put togetherAmaalSuper disappointed in this product, could not fit the nail into the side of the box making it impossible to put this together :(
A strong, well-made boxSusanThe wooden crate as household decor has a long history in the world of dorm room/first apartment lore. This wooden crate is actually worth the money. Don't waste your time on cheaper plastic crates that bend and sag. When I needed some additional casual book storage, I bought these crates and I've been back for more.
Improperly manufactured, holes do not align.ColinFor such a tiny product you would expect it to be an easy build... unfortunately, the holes you are meant to drill into for the very first step were NOT aligned properly in production, and so you are literally unable to complete a single step of construction for this product. I thought it was a one-off issue, which I could understand, but when I tried to assemble a second box of the same type and ran into the exact same hole-misalignment issue, it is obviously a manufacturing error.
Do not buy this product until they fix it! We had to throw both boxes in the trash the very same day we purchased it. I usually love and stand by my IKEA products, but this one is a total scam in quality and they really dropped the ball. Very disappointing :-(
