Know before you buy
Yes, each 2-pack includes all necessary hardware for assembly. You will only need basic tools to secure the inserts into your existing KALLAX unit.
Absolutely. The insert is designed to be versatile, so you can install it horizontally to create a shelf or vertically to act as a divider for organizing items like magazines or files.
The back panel is fully finished with the same white matte coating as the rest of the unit. This makes it a great choice if you are using your KALLAX as a room divider where both sides are visible.
Each shelf insert is rated for a weight capacity of 5 kg. It is best suited for lighter items like office supplies, craft materials, or books.
These inserts are specifically engineered for the dimensions of the KALLAX series. They are not guaranteed to fit other IKEA shelving systems, such as the BILLY or EKET.
