Very good product LarryGreat looking and easy to assemble. Quality is impressive 5
Very Pleased!MichelleI have purchased 4 of these in 3 different sizes. I was skeptical upon reading various reviews, but I am very pleased with them. They are a great value for the price, easy to assemble, versatile and attractive. I use them for books, sweatshirts/sweaters, and seasonal items.5
Kallax isn't what it used to beChristinaThe grey/wood finish is silly, it's just gray with laminate patterned laminate along the edges. No more lovely driftwood. It's so light I can pick the thing up by myself, and putting it together was a hassle not because it wasn't simple, but because it was so flimsy. I have four old Kallaxes, all bought between 2016 and 2021. This one I bought in March 2024, and it's just sad. 1
Great product!BethanyPurchased this to help organize a closet and we love it! Sturdy and well made and just as expected! Great price too!5
Not the Same Old Kallax....JenniferI am highly disappointed in Ikea as a whole!!! I just bought my 3rd Kallax and the quality and the material is absolute garbage. If I would have known that Ikea went from quality products, to making their furniture with the cheapest material possible. I would have never bought a 3rd Kallax. The Kallax is also a lot lighter, there was particle dust everywhere, and the packaging is done horribly. Also, this Kallax is easily able to be scratched or damaged. The quality of the faux wood film is below subpar and I don't see myself buying another piece of furniture in the foreseeable future from Ikea. The only reason I plan on keeping it, is because I do not have time to lug it back to Ikea.1
Manufacturing Damage to main pieceCarolI ordered this to go with another piece of existing furniture and couldn't wait. I agree with other reviews that the quality has declined to the point of being cheap China quality. The pressed wood is in big chunks and splits easily. I would recommend to predrill holes for safer installation. Once it splits, it just keeps going and will fall apart. Mine was damaged straight from the package and since it was a weight bearing piece there was no way to get around it and it had to be returned. Then to my surprise it was discontinued. I am so unhappy and then supplies are hard to get so nothing much else is available if you want to customize it with inserts in one shopping trip. 2

Awesome product JosselineVery sturdy great for anything 5
So versatile TrangLove love love this piece I own 3 and live in a 758 Sq ft apt. One is used as a TV stand in the living room, one in the dining room and I couldn't find a vanity to store all my make up and jewelry so the third one is pictured as my makeup jewelry station. One day if I buy a house I and use them in different way. 5

Heavy duty bookcase NaomiThis bookcase is simply wonderful! It is heavy duty for all your needs.5
Not greatVeraMost of us understand what we're getting with Ikea and why--the price is affordable, and a little sweat, frustration etc. in putting things with names like "wood-effect" together is expected. But holy sweet baby cheesus this was a beast. Whatever newfangled idea they had with the allen wrench is BAD. Mine barely fit the screws and two of them will still not go in all the way, making the drawers I put in (or attempted to put in) also not fit correctly. I could close the drawer all the way if I used a hammer lol. Luckily I had another allen wrench from some previous project and finally thought to use it, and it fit the screws much better, otherwise this piece of furniture would not even be remotely put together. 2
