Handy for alignment, appearance not so muchPhillipI wish IKEA would design a cover for the suspension rail so the screw heads could be hidden
Not Worth the Wait - FlimsyJoanneNot happy with IKEA overall with this. Not available for pick-up in NYC? Some parts very flimsy such as the baskets. Careful opening as easy to pull out of brackets.
OK When Up, But Hard To InstallMichaelI recently installed this system in 2 closets. They both turned out well, but I am amazed other people don’t have more problems. I have installed hundreds of closet systems over the years and I am very familiar with how to do it correctly.
First, I used the configuration tool to build my parts list and neither system came with any screws or wall anchors. Fortunately I have plenty of both.
Second, because it is a metric system, it doesn’t quite work with US 16” centered studs. I had to drill extra holes in the hang rail and then only 1 or maybe 2 uprights can actually hit a stud.
Third, the way shelves and accessories clip to brackets is clever, but requires the uprights to be very accurately spaced with hardly any tolerance if an upright is slightly off.
Wrong length of rail...BrigitteI bought an 8' wide Boaxel closet system and they sent me a 6' wide suspension rail. The rest was fine but somebody needs to work on their math...
PerfectEmiliaSuper easy to get these installed level. Great product.
Boaxel Walk In ClosetJillNow that the boaxel walk-in closet is installed, there are a few things that you should know before purchasing:
1. If you were purchasing a unit that is more custom (above 24 inches wide), you will have to cut the suspension rail. If you choose to cut the suspension rail with a saw, it is going to take a substantial amount of time. We used large metal clippers.
2. In order to safely to secure the Boaxel set to the wall. You’ll need to drill small holes through the suspension rod where your studs are in the wall. We did this with a drill. We then drilled through the hole that we pre-drilled directly into the stud. If you have a lot of clothes, I don’t see how this would work mounted only to drywall.
3. Make sure that you have flat screws otherwise it will not properly hook into the rails.
4. The walk-in closet unit is worth every penny! And it’s absolutely beautiful when assembled.
Boaxel - no screwsMicheleI love this product - I wish it was made more apparent that it did not come with screws
Good!KristenI love the Boaxel system!
Caution, Needs Careful InstallationYI installed Boaxel in a closet. Yesterday, one entire wall of shelving collapsed suddenly. It seems that the top notch of one of the verticals, over time, moved forward slightly, so that it came out of the groove in the top bar. This meant that all of the weight of the shelves was on the screws of the vertical bars, not the top bar. IKEA needs to re-design this so that the safety of their customers is not dependent on a 2 cm groove. The verticals should somehow be locked in place to the horizontal, weight-bearing bar. Other than that, great product :-)
Doesn’t include hardwareNathanRequired multiple trips to hardware store, I eventually gave up and threw out the product. It doesn’t include mounting hardware, and the instructions do not specify the correct size of hardware that is required. Don’t waste your time.
Nice system even if a bit expensiveJohnThankfully these are easy enough to saw although I do wish they came in different lengths. This is a good shelving system. I don't understand the complaints from some that this doesn't come with screws. IKEA never includes screws for attaching things to walls since it depends on the composition of the walls. I have a couple of other closets that need shelving, and I absolutely plan on using the Boaxel system again.
didn't see that not comingSusanjust amazed and very inconvenienced that no screws were provided-and no upfront info. to let the customer know. why does the pictorial not show screws along with screwdriver, level etc., as items needed to complete installation?
Don't buy unless you're handy with hardwareJenniferI had no idea when purchasing this that I would be on my own to find hardware to attach the system to the wall. The fact that hardware is NOT included should be clearly stated in bold with every wall upright and suspension rail item description WITHOUT having to click on a drop down box. Instead, you have to hope you infer it from the reference that different walls may need different hardware. I'm used to IKEA products having everything I need. I will not make that assumption again.

Boaxel ClosetTashaI was surprised easy the closet system was to install and was shocked at how sturdy it is. Wish I would have done it years ago!
Laundry shelvingDianeI bought this for my laundry room and it is the best! It was easy to install and setup. I love the versatility.
Boaxel storage systemAnonymous reviewerThe best closet system! Easy to install, lots of flexibility- very high end- so much better and less expensive than Container store
Lightweight & sturdyAlexiaThese can be cut easily for adjustable small spaces.
Great systemLaurieI just finished installing Boaxel units on 3 walls in my sewing room. Very easy to install once I watched a few videos and the result is amazing. I used self drilling drywall anchors and #8 screws. Doing the hall closet next!
Screws?LisaI would have loved to be informed that I had to purchase screws separately. Most other items come with everything needed to assemble or, at the very least, prompt you to buy everything you need. Even while using the planner tool it doesn't tell you this and now I'm sitting here with useless shelves until I can get back to a store.
