Great shelvesChrisRecommended by a Friend IN The Netherlands as the perfect storage for my LPS and he was Spot ON!5
Terrible QualityCandiceI purchased several kallax systems to use as i reorganize my living space. This is my first time buying from Ikea and assembling a Kallax. My first try was the wood veneer 5x5.
The assembly process was difficult, not because of any major complexity, but because the holes for many of the dowels and screws were not perfectly aligned, thus making it difficulty to attach the various pieces. we had to lift each side (and the top and bottom) just to align it to properly screw. Also, some of the connection points will lie flush with minor gaps here and there. No matter how many mallet wacks we used, there were always gaps
(and now holes in the very cheap board).
Once the piece was assembled and put upright it wobbled. even without anchoring, I don't think it should sway from side to side as much as it does since the anchors only prevent it from tipping forward.1
Ideal as a room dividerAnnaTop

Amazing KristinPerfect, easy assembly (I did it myself) and set up is wonderful. 5
Missing Parts and ManualMylinhI am extremely disappointed with this purchase. I opened all four boxes, only to find that not a single one contained the assembly manual, screws, or necessary parts for the shelves. How is that even possible? This has caused a major inconvenience, as I now have unassembled pieces with no way to put them together. The lack of basic components is completely unacceptable—especially for something that requires assembly! Now I have to go through the hassle of contacting support and figuring out how to get the missing parts. I expected better quality control. This was a frustrating and time-consuming experience, and I hope this is not a frequent occurrence with this product as I do not wish other customers encounter the same situation.1
Amazing storage option. BridgetThis shelf allowed me to get rid is 4 other pieces of furniture because it fit so much! 5
Defective UnitKarenI ordered this unit and the holes are not drilled deep enough so the dowels do not fully insert and the pieces will not sit flush. I had a replacement delivered and had the same problem. IKEA should stop selling this product until production issues can be resolved.1
I wanted to love itBrendaShelves did not all fit properly which made the unit unstable. I have several of the smaller ones and love them. 2
Giant and amazingAllisonThis cabinet has divided my tiny studio into a perfect little home. Sturdy and very easy to assemble5
Great product!RigobertoIt serves its purpose to show case books and toys or whatever you like to display5
WORST IKEA PRODUCT and impossible to returnNadiiaIt's extremely unstable unit with misaligned holes. It has diagonal side movement and will surely fall apart if you put anything heavy on it. You can google Kallax Unit Failure. It is NOT stable at all. Wobbly, moving. It's garbage. I contacted IKEA about return options and basically it's impossible to return unless you own a huge track or will pay them hefty price for a pick up. It's nonsense, they sell non-functioning furniture items and wont let you return it without sustaining a huge financial loss, time loss, and a lot of hustle. Quality is 0/100.1
Works well for homeschool library JenniferFits many books5
Nice Kaplan shelfRobertGreatshelf5
The perfect gaming shelfKennethI have three of these units now -- one for my RPG collection and two for the board game collection. The ease of getting them assembled, the beauty of their design, and the sturdiness of the final product cannot be overstated. A wonderful product.5
GreatSandyFits perfectly and nice accent to room. Easy to assemble!5
My favorite storageFrancesI downsized from a large home to an apartment. My primary concern was adequate storage. The previous occupant had removed a large closet. Instead of rebuilding the closet, I opted to use a 5 x 5 kallax unit. I originally put cardboard bankers boxes in the sections. The I ordered sturdy baskets for the bottom row for toys for the grand kids. Happy with the awesome and good looking unit. The black/brown color had led me to use mostly black and white in this room. Would highly recommend this shelving.5
Excellent choiceEricExcellent value for the money. Good quality, holds up well over time. This is my third purchase of the item, so clearly it is very useful.5
Perfect for Books / Room DividerCherylThis item worked perfect for what was once a dance fllor. Created a office and since I had co many books it created the privacy needed for meetings. No issues putting it together. I had to pay for the shipping over $100. since I did do not have an Ikea anywhere close.5
