Don't want to ruin my Kallax with theseSaraThese were beautiful and seemed sturdy enough for my purposes, and I really wanted to love them. However, the first time I slid one into the Kallax unit it was obvious that repeated usage, especially by kids, will inevitably damage the inexpensive finish of the Kallax unit. I will be replacing with the fabric/plastic options to give the furniture a fighting chance of looking nice for as long as possible.2
GapsAnonymous reviewerVery easy to assemble, look great. But I had not expected the size of the gaps at the bottom. So these will likely not hold the small items in bought them for.4
Great for Stuffed toysSuzanneI bought this for my grandlady so she could put her stuffies in it and still see them all. It was also easy to put together.5
Strong cubes!KarenLove these cubes! The structure of these cubes aids in keeping our items accessible. I like that I can pull the cube out and easily slide it back in with no effort. Nice addition to my organization.5
The best Kallax binsIliaThese are the only Kallax bins I am satisfied with:
1) Sturdy enough yet packable. Much more sturdy than all paperboard and fabric options.
2) No funky odors unlike all bins with paperboard inserts.
3) Looks neutral-cool
4) Could be easily modified: spraypainted, covered with textile of your choice, etc.
5) Could be further reinforced with some nice craft wire along edges or other types of fixings.
Cons
1) Sometimes could not fit into kallax cubes smoothly. Fixable! Just push their side walls inside to un-bend them, and now it glides well.5
Organized my closet SylviaGreat part of the Kallax system for closet organization! Looks great!5
Piece of JunkMelodyWe got these to replace Lekman & these boxes bent with use. Do they look pretty? sure. But use them & the bend out of shape very easily. Such a waste of money.1
Functional, sturdyLauraHardly any assembly required for this metal storage basket which simply folds open to insert the bottom panel. The basket is sturdy, and it is helpful to be able to see the contents. 5
Useful for Pantry Storage LorraineFits well in the space. Holds a good deal of items. All while hiding them discreetly. I use several in my Kallax unit. 5
Good product, easy to assemble PaulHappy with product5
flimsyRachelI bought these to hold my children's magnetic tile toys. The box is completely bent. It doesn't withstand any weight, which is the whole reason I wanted metal boxes.1
Good, but flimsy NikolausGood for storage, but when there's any weight in it, it bends.3
Great QualityGaryThese baskets are well made and easy to foldout. Alot of storage space. 5
Perfect Containers StephanieWe needed something sturdy and waterproof to store our scuba gear and these are the perfect containers to do so. 5
Transparent and sturdyCraigTypically beautifully conceived folding boxes that allow me to see the stored items without pulling out the container. 5
Open Crate ContainerYvonneEnjoying the open crate for our storage unit. I can see what items are in it. Love the larger size too.5
