Not as nice as the older versionJoshThe newer version of these drawers is fine, but not as nice as the older version. The new drawers themselves are a little wider than the older version, which makes them not compatible with the previous, sturdier insert.
There is also more play in the lateral movement of the drawers and this can lead to them looking crooked and uneven, which is not visually appealing.
However, overall they are decent and of expected quality. Typical IKEA cleverness in design, assembly, and installation.
Kallax draw insert NatalieThis drawer insert works great for craft supplies.
It’s okAlexisCame partially broken. There is a part that you fold over when assembling, half of one of the sides came ripped. Made it work with it being broken.
Drawers do not stay on tracksClaireI installed these drawers into a kallax shelving unit I have had for 3 years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fill the whole cube like shown in the photos. The insert itself seems to be too wide for the drawers. This causes the drawers to fall off of the track every time I pull them out. I’m very disappointed that the insert made for a specific shelving unit and made by the same company doesn’t even fit and work properly. I bought 3 and all 3 don’t work properly.
Perfect size for tools and junk drawers.AngelaEasy to install and fits great. I put two of them in my seven year old kallax and the brown/black matches like I bought them together.
CreativeAnonymousWhat a great way to make the storage cubes more versatile and really easy to assemble.
??? About Drawer KnobsMelanieI love the look of my shelves. But is the little silver thing the drawer knob? Or is it a screw for different knobs?
Surprisingly easy to install into a Kallax shelf unitSharonThe drawer insert exceeded my expectations for its ease in installation. This was an added bonus to the Kallax shelf unit. Looks great and is very functional. Would definitely buy again. Great value.
Love this item. DeloraI don’t always buy my pieces together. And it is nice to be able to add creative parts to an item when needed. Steady and functional. I have another one and it’s been probably 5 years and it still works fine.
Great idea but not easy to installKatherineI needed more organization within my Kallax bookshelves and decided to try the drawers. I needed a drill and bits in order to install it. After putting in the door, this was manageable. I’m not sure how anyone would be able to install this without having tools? Once it was in, it was very good to be able to organize my stuff. I wish they would come out with a drawer system that I could slide in and out of the opening without having to permanently install it. I like the Kallax insert with one shelf. Now if they could make a kallax insert with 2 or 3 drawers, like the Pallra, where I could slide it in. I would use the Pallra, but it’s dimensions at 13”x10” -ish… so about 5 inches of depth that is wasted.
OrganizedSabineEasy to put together and keep things organized.
Good DrawersRolandThe Kallax drawers offer good value for the money. They work well and are not difficult to install. However, be careful to install them at the right height and depth to achieve uniform looking gaps all around. Furthermore, despite the fact that the back wall is white on the outside, it looks cheap. For a Kallax shelf in the middle of a room, I would probably try to install additional Kallax doors on the back for a more sophisticated look. Also, the shade of white of the glossy white drawer fronts is not 100% consistent from package to package. I moved individual drawers around between different shelf elements until a reasonably uniform look was achieved.
Drawers didn't fit in the slidesShannonAfter installing the slides according to the instructions, the space is too wide to fit the slides on the drawers in both sides of the slides installed in the shelving unit. If I added extra wood to each side (paint stick width) they worked. This isn't a good solution for a lot of drawers, though. :-(
Fantastic CarinaThe whole shelving unit was simple to put together and this drawer was done in minutes. It works great!
poor qualityOksanathis insert is absolute flimsy crap that does not hold the drawers .I really regret that I did not read the reviews before I bought this piece of crap
office organizingPaulThis item is disappointing. The older version was so much better. It was a wood box that slid into the bookshelf unit. I do not like this version.
SO CHEAP! Not built like they use to be. AndreaI have had this storage unit for over ten years. When it was part of the Malm collection. I had red and black cubbies/drawers. I wanted to change the red out for tan. I was so disappointed by how cheap they have made these. The original ones had a very sturdy thick hard core, the same material as the drawer fronts and cubby door front. These are now flimsy and would never last the 10+ years of the originals ones. I wished I would have kept the red ones and just changed out the fronts of them. so very disappointed in Ikea.
Kallax drawersMargaretThese make a plain Kallax look a little nicer. I added some doors and drawers and love the look.
Incorrect parts! MaayaI bought two of these and I could only make one because one of them had parts that were too short.
drawer sides too short limiting storage space Kristin & RandallI wish the drawer sides were tall to match front. The drawer sides and back are much shorter than the front and make the storage space very shallow where you can’t store as much as you would think—maybe half as what you could if the sides of the drawer were taller. Also—the draws tend to come apart every few months and have to be tightened back up

Material
What is fibreboard?
Fiberboard is a stable and durable material made of leftover wood from the wood industry. A durable outer layer of paint or laminate is added to the board. The difference between various types of fiberboards, such as HDF and MDF, is mainly the thickness, yet also how impact-resistant they are. This determines if we will use them for bed frames, sofa frames, kitchen fronts, wardrobe doors, or something completely different.
