“I was inspired by classic industrial furniture typically used in workshops during the 50’s, as well as Meccano, to create the design,“ Lina says. “The idea was to create these beautiful storage units that have double the weight carrying capacity of any other shelves we were making at the time.” Engineer Philip Nedergaard made sure that the design held true to the heavy-duty ambition. “We built some of what we call ‘worst-case scenarios’ by loading the shelves high with concrete bags to really test that the shelves could safely hold almost anything you would want to keep in a garage,“ he says.

Great product VanesaIt’s very sturdy, I love it.
Missing partsAnonymous reviewerDidnt include parts (nuts, bolts, etc) to put together)
It serves its purposeKhai-ElI purchased based on price and reviews so definitely want to contribute here. The item certainly does what it is supposed to do, but there is nothing overwhelming about it. it is thin, without the weight or heft it needs for me to be comfortable that it can support heavy garage items. instead we have used it for things like product storage (think toilet paper and laundry detergent). I don't regret the purchase at all but do think I could have gotten similar quality at a lower price point
I am an IKEA building guru and this was a struggle!CarleyI bought all of the BROR pieces to build a shelving unit with two cabinets. It was for a space for my kids to drop the muddy boots and their outside toys. It looked perfect in store…
I love building IKEA furniture. Love it! But these BROR pieces almost sent me over the edge. The vertical supports aren’t perfectly machined to allow easy installation of the horizontal shelving supports. My husband ended up needing to cut parts of the horizontal supports to fit the verticals. Building from the top down is almost impossible if you are short (like me). But, building from the bottom up causes you to bump the bottom shelves making them dislodge themselves from the vertical supports. There’s no real way to connect two shelving units, except for plastic feet. On top of all of this- the directions were awful and confusing.
The shelves are fine now that they are attached to the wall. But, beware if you aren’t good at this type of thing! It’s a struggle.
Does what it shouldKaityEasy to install
Great shelving unit!MeredithVery sturdy, easy to assemble. Perfect for my garden shed.
Needs more rigidityAaronEverything went together easily. However, the cross bracing in the back is flimsy and bent easily. This could be strengthened to help keep the unit square.
Works great for garage storage.RebeccaWorks great for garage storage.
Great qualityMelissaBought these for my husband's office. Couldn't believe the quality for the price. He loves them--says they are "bloke-y." I think these would also work great in a kitchen or garage.
WobblyErnyThe shelves wobble a lot. I'm not really sure why? At first, I thought it was me but after double checking the manual it just seems to be the shelves.
Good qualityEricaThis is in our garage and it's good quality I am surprised.
Easy to assemble.BertinaEasy to assemble.
perfect garage storageChristineeasier to set up than wire bakers racks...
look better, too:) like how deep the larger ones are
so you can fit 2 of the clear IKEA tubs on each shelf.
Shelf SystemEsmeraldaOverall aesthetically it looks really pleasing however the quality feels flimsy even with X bracket in the back . We had to add additional screws directly into the studs to avoid any possible tip overs and to give more security. I would say since the recent cost increase, I am not sure that it is worth the ticket price, but I could not find another item on market that fit the look I was going for in my kitchen.
Sturdy, easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerI have purchased five Bror shelving systems. I find them to be extremely sturdy, easy to assemble, versatile, and priced economically when compared to other products. I highly recommend and will likely be purchasing more to finish outfitting my backyard shed.
Not GreatHeidiThe shelf is not sturdy. Difficult to put together. Materials were flimsy and bent easily.
Does not assemble correctlyJorgeShelves do not assemble correctly and instead bend very easily when inserting.
EXTREMELY difficult to assembleTomThis product is poorly designed, particularly in the method of assembly. There’s very little hardware included; instead it relies on the components themselves fitting tightly together. Because the tolerances are tiny, any variation in manufacturing causes misalignment between the adjoining parts, requiring extra force to assemble. Because the metal is so thin, the additional force deforms the parts - almost to the point of breaking (and beyond, depending on how hard you try to compensate for the misalignment by banging on it harder). The result is an assembly that is not stable (or doesn’t remain assembled at all).
I bought two sets of shelves and was able to assemble the first one relatively easily. The second set, which should have been easier as I had successfully gone through the process already, simply cannot be assembled with the parts I received. Trust me when I tell you that the video showing the parts fitting easily and perfectly together is movie magic.
Great and solid itemJulianIt's great, just what i was looking for my garage.
BrorRosaI really liked how it looks in my garage, the size and appearance, exceeded my expectation, it was very easy to assemble it, the instructions are very easy to understand.

Story
The strongest storage we’ve made so far
Does your garage sometimes feel like a lost civilization? Pyramids of paint cans grouped around the car, sports equipment you can’t remember even using and forgotten hobbies in boxes stacked high. IKEA product developer Lina Ringefelt wanted to help out. The outcome: the heavy-duty BROR storage system.
Lina and her team researched peoples’ garage needs and found that there’s an interest in everything from full-on hobby rooms, to a place to pot plants and work on cars, as well as storage for everything from heavy power tools to seasonal equipment. Many people also want lockable, closed and open storage that could hold very heavy loads.
Creating very strong storage
Combining good looks and practicality
The result is an adjustable series of shelving units with closed and open storage, including a trolley that serves as a movable shelf and workstation. But perhaps the series biggest calling card is its combination of looks and function. BROR could definitely be used in the home too.
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.
Quality
A real tough one
BROR storage system can withstand a lot. The widest and deepest shelves actually hold 285 lbs. and the smallest shelves can hold 154 lbs. This means that you can store both tires and heavy flower pots without problems. We know this since we tested the storage system by filling the shelves with concrete bags – all to ensure that they can safely hold almost anything you can imagine storing, regardless if the surroundings are tropically moist or dry and freezing cold.
