HORRIBLE QUALITYGiorgioNormally, over time, production processes and quality should only improve, but not for IKEA!!!
I have known and had the Kallax series for at least 10 years, before the quality was more than sufficient, excellent weight, excellent finishing, now the products have been totally lightened, metal parts replaced by plastic, horrible gluing. Unfortunately there are not many alternatives to Ikea around...
Very versatileBenNice and solid, with plenty of add on options. Serves multiple purposes.
Easy EnoughKelleyThese shelves went to gether easily, however everything has to be perfect or they don't like up correctly. That's a big ask for someone who puts furniture together once every decade.
Kallax is my Go-To for Staging & HomeKaranI'm a Realtor who stages my listings and Kallax is the perfect piece for organizing, and the look is simple and sleek. Add baskets or boxes for storage to keep things looking clean.
Perfect fitPamThe Kallax unit fits perfectly in my sewing room, I store fabric and more in it.
Awesome bookshelf! DevinI really love this bookshelf and it's a staple piece of my living room!
Great storage solution YvonneA great space saver. I have several and I love them.I can fit so much in them.
Great for a craft roomAnnamarieEasily put together. Strong!!!
Excellent BookshelvesTedThe best and sturdiest bookshelves!
The paint quality of high gloss version is super low.Anonymous reviewerMulti area do not have paint at all. I can do nothing but return. Etc, if you live far from Ikea, returning them will cost you time and money, which so bad and sad!
So if you want to save time, avoid the high gloss version.
awesome productLuisit is maybe the best basic furniture for an apartment
Perfect DeanneJust as expected
Giving 1 star to be able to review PaulinaI bought it in person. I was absolutely in love with the way it looked. I haven’t been able to build it. It’s an absolute nightmare. The pegs are so cheap that they break in the middle of building. I feel like I literally wasting my money. Literally three people trying to build a shelf And all that ended up happening is all the pieces chipping and breaking
Fits in closet perfectly!ArleenThe Kallax bookshelf fits perfectly in my guest closet to store all of my craft supplies.
Looks and Works WellLindsayA little bit tricky to put together, but after that, it's great! Very strong and stable and looks great.
Best gaming shelving unit EVER !!!StephenThe box width is IDEAL for board game storage, and the height and width are excellent by occupying minimum overall space while maximizing storage capacity. I have 3 of these as well as a 2x4, and may eventually need more.
Strong and beautiful MartinNeeded a display cabinet that could handle heavy items but also look good. This is it!
GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!JustoThis unit is awesome and is exactly what you can expect from ikea. its sturdy but light weight. I was able toa attach it to the wall with the safety latch. Easy to build if you know how to follow instructions and read.
Don't believe all these negative reviews, it's good for the price.
Defective Manufacturing IssueRachelI called IKEA today to let them know this needs to be recalled. When i went to add glassdoor/shelf inserts i found out the walls of this unit are completely hollow, rendering all hinges useless and if someone tries to attach this to a wall for safety they may not realize it until it is too late and a child has been crushed by it. I luckily don’t need to attach to wall but i ended up using drywall anchors and Mr Grip in the hinge holes so that the screws don’t pop out when i put the doors on. Never had an issue with any product until this one and my whole house is IKEA furniture.
Awful quality controlTiffanyHonestly if I can give zero stars I would. What a headache to build. The quality control is practically nonexistent. We had to go back to ikea twice to swap out warped pieces. Some of the planks had the holes drilled too deep and some not deep enough, so you can see the pegs poking through the wood making an indent. Or the fit between the short plank and the long planks were not a good fit and you can see the pegs sticking out. I’m not sure if the color you choose has anything to do with it but we had a ton of issues with this in the white oak. I would love to provide some photos to show the awful build quality.

Quality and feel
At first glance, KALLAX is a simple shelving unit, but it’s based on a love for details. The unit has smooth surfaces and rounded edges that make it appealing to the eye and enjoyable to touch. We’ve also worked hard to make the shelves align perfectly so you avoid eye-sore gaps, giving the unit a uniform look. Simply put, all of KALLAX is well-thought-out down to the smallest detail and exudes a solid feel of quality – which results in a nicer and more timeless impression.
