Amazing storage option. BridgetThis shelf allowed me to get rid is 4 other pieces of furniture because it fit so much!
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.
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.
Giant and amazingAllisonThis cabinet has divided my tiny studio into a perfect little home. Sturdy and very easy to assemble
Great product!RigobertoIt serves its purpose to show case books and toys or whatever you like to display
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.
Works well for homeschool library JenniferFits many books
Nice Kaplan shelfRobertGreatshelf
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.
GreatSandyFits perfectly and nice accent to room. Easy to assemble!
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.
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.
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.
Easy to build, Sturdy, Perfect room divider.ChristyThis unit was so easy to build, I put it together myself in about 30 minutes. The pegs all fit perfect and the screws for the outer pieces went together seamlessly to built a room divider. I purchased some of the Drona bins and the Kallax swing door cabinet inserts and they were even easy to install and work perfect. Overall I would give it 10 stars if I could. The price point, ease of assembly and finished product are perfect!!!
What happened to the ExpeditTracyThis was AWFUL to put together and I swapped out the first one to try another thinking maybe it was just one bad unit. No! The pegs do NOT go inside the holes enough or the holes need to be drilled in more but I have separation with some of the shelves. I literally broke down and cried because I was so frustrated. I have to pay for delivery but I’ve put many Expedit shelves together in the past with no issue. This is just bad., I’m going to keep it because I have no choice. It’s the look I need but if I can’t get it bolted properly to the wall, one small tremor in California and this mess is going to fall over. And if I move I’m afraid it will come apart during the move and this thing is $200! I don’t know. As I type this I’m thinking of taking it down and returning it. This is my 3rd item return to ikea. Klippan leather sofa is cheap! Go back to real materials please.
No wall screwsCharlieThey don't provide screws to attach it to the wall. Now I have to run to town to get it and I don't live close to a hardware store.
Sways like a ship about to capsizeKaraHonestly it’s awful. I know they made their products cheaper, but heck. We have several other kallax products that were old stock, they are much more sturdy. Just put this together after buying it 2 days ago, the dials didn’t fit, getting it fully together was near impossible, and now it sways very badly while shedding lots of mdf particles from the interior joints. Don’t waste your money, calling them is a joke, and it’s a beast to take back apart and return. Stay away until they redesign with an ‘improved!’ Announcement.
Worst Product I have ever PurchasedMatthewThis was one of the worst products I have ever purchased. The design and execution were terrible. It broke just putting it together. Many of the holes and dowels did not line up or even fit together right. I will never buy anything from Ikea again.
Kallax shelfSandraI loved my Kallax unit. It looks amazing and beautiful!!!
Almost.MichaelI want to thank Ikea for bringing back the 5x5 Kallax shelf unit, but the resizing means it cannot go next to my older units cleanly. How about some adapter shims/boards for the top and bottom as an accessory?

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.
