The quality really went downAllaI got the Kallax and the inserts with doors, while screwing the insert into the side of the Kallax the screw was not tightening just spinning and spinning. I thought maybe I stripped the hole, so took some toothpicks to fill it back up with wood glue and the toothpicks were just freely moving inside the wall, like the sides of the whole shelf are completely hollow in places! This is an insanely bad design flaw for something that has optional inserts that need to be screwed into the sides!2
Great product!LoriWe turned this sideways and used it for book shelves/toys in our "grandkids" room. It holds so much and is perfect to keep our guestroom for the grandkids looking nice and organized!5
Kallax shelf unitBrendaThis is a great way to organize your shoes. No more stacking shoe boxes on top of each other.5
Can’t recommend these enough! Perfect for organization.TasiaThis is my 5th one! They last forever! I had a home fire, so that is the only reason I replaced. I use them for toy storage. Wonderful! They keep the toys within reach, but still organized! Can’t recommend these enough!!5
Perfect unitJamesEasy to assemble and customize for our needs5
Very usefull itemIsellaThis one item is very helpful.5
Not as Good as it Once WasMelissaI have 14 Kallax systems purchased over the last 4 years. I love them. They’re the perfect dish storage. I I were reviewing only the first 10 I bought I would have given it 5 stars. The 4 I’ve purchased recently within the last year are not the same quality. They’re not as substantial. They are flimsier and just don’t seem as strong. I have a very close eye on these to watch for any sagging.4
solid piece, great finishKimberlyThis is a solid piece that has a very nice hard finish. Looks much more expensive than it is. Love Kallax for cubbies that are big enough to actually fit stuff!5
Amazing shelf with lot of diy optionsLisaI ordered two of kallax shelves, 1 I used as bookshelf, 1 I used as storage shelf. I love them as there are a lot of parts to choose from, and diy options. The I wish ikea can make a better board, don’t mind with a higher price for this kallax shelf design. 5
Flimsy MaterialsZacharyThe wooden pegs included in the box are so cheap and frail. 5 of them broke while putting the shelves together. They're now stuck there and now some of the shelves can't bear as much weight. Either include stronger materials or use something else entirely in place of these wooden pegs. In addition to this, label the wooden panels (to panel, side panel, etc.) and use words in the instructions instead of just pictures.2
Great Storage OptionLaurieI bought this shelf and added baskets to store clothes in my bedroom. I opted for this as it utilizes less space and looks very nice.5
Great looking with clear visibility of what is on the shelvesAgnesI bought this item for my mom's room to hold all her DVDs, knick-knacks, and photos. it fits perfectly under her 65" TV. It's super easy to assemble . It is sturdy, and love the color.5

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.
