Kallax cubeBarbaraMade well and was just what I was looking for.
Shelf unitValerieJust what I needed to store scrapbooks.
Sturdy BlakeUsing it under 4 Blalidans and I can say that it is really sturdy .
Nice, but…very lightSarahSo I bought one of these 14 years ago for my daughters nursery, the 2 high 2 wide one in beige. This time I got white and 4 high. The good is it goes with everything, very nice and basic. Great price too. The bad but maybe good for those who want to hang it on the wall, it is very light. The particle board from 14 years ago has definitely changed, not as dense. I also noticed that in the Alex desk we just bought. But that’s is the only bad. The bottom and base on new one is also not as thick as older one but I don’t consider that significant just an observation. Super easy to assemble, looks great and perfect for my daughters room make over. She is very happy. I love our older one and it is still in perfect condition even after a cross the country move. Not a scratch or ding on it. Would definitely recommend.
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...
I love itYupayongI love it. I bought a lot of ikea bc I’m a fan. I assembled it all myself.
Different assembly - visible plastic screws!SamanthaWhat’s not shown in any of the photos are the plastic screws that are meant to cover the screw holes, on every single shelf. I’ve had several Kallax over the years in different colors and dimensions and this is the first time one has had these. Is is just the white ones? It’s ok if it’s placed vertically since they only show on the bottoms, but if you turn it horizontal these will be unsightly.
It's the lego of IKEAVictoriaIt's lighter than I expected, because it's very cleverly engineered. We are using our Kallax in an unconventional way, as a base for our guinea pig habitat, and it looks sleek and is sturdy.
Love itYupayongI love the structure, I’ve had like 3.

Very good storage for small space.A.Very please with my purchase. Great for small space in my closet where I needed extra shelf space.
Excellent JhanPerfect
Looks good but they are not holding up. CindyWe purchased 7 of these for an entryway at a gymnastics studio and 5 starting breaking the first week. Not sure if these are made differently from the past as we had older ones for 20 years.

Perfect Shelf UnitMaryThe Kallax Shelf Unit is awesome...perfect for use in two closets for extra shelf storage space. The fit great into our closets and look nice, too. My husband was pleased with the ease of putting together.
Simple and effective, not identical to older versions.GraceIf you're like me and have no idea what you're doing with your life, Kallax is a good product line for you. Everything is a cube and you can move the inserts around without much trouble until you figure out a configuration that works for you. It's pretty user friendly even by IKEA standards. I was a bit curious about some other reviews mentioning differences with older KALLAX units though, so I checked, and sure enough my old units are a bit different than my new ones. The "outer frame" of the old ones were about 2 inches (5cm) thick, while the outer frame of the new one is about 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) thick. It doesn't compromise the function but if you're trying to line things up exactly with older models, you'll probably notice.
NOT the same height as the other KallaxSuzanneI have a 8 square Kallax with records but it’s overflowing so I got a 4 square. It looks so dumb because it’s at least a full inch shorter and they’re side by side.

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.
