THESE CROSS BRACE ARE ON THE FLIMSY SIDE AngelaREASON FOR BUYING THIS ITEM IS BECAUSE I NEEDED THEM FOR THE IVAR SHELVING SYSTEM HOWEVER I FEEL THAT THESE CROSS BAR ARE CHEAPLY MADE AND ALSO ON THE EXPENSIVE SIDE2
Weak Build but WorkMikeThey do the job, inexpensive but do not stress the cross brace rivet that holds the two rods together. Other than that no problem.3
Good experience!Thomas👍5
Extra support PhyllisI ordered an extra observator brace to provide support for our closet shelves. Turns out the one provided with the shelves was sufficient to keep them square.5
Bracing for IvarBettyYou really can't skip using the cross bracing. They will slide to the side without them5
CrossbarKimA must for the Ivar!5
ShelvingJaniceWe bought one brace per unit. I would highly recommend that you use one brace per unit even if they are attached together. It gives the u it great stability and strength. We also used “l” brackets to attach the unit to the wall.5
Essential element to Ivar systemMathildeNot sure why this element is not provided standard with this system. Does not have stability without it.5
Great supportDiana G.I supported several of my Ikeas drawers5
Helps with stabilityChristinaEasy to install and helps with stability.5
Strong cross-braceRichardHave used these with IVAR since 2001. They have never failed me. Use an awl to make an indentation to get the screw started.5
Stabilizes my Ibarra shelvesBruceEasy to use5
neededLeonThe difference in support and stability is unbelievable. They give you peace of mind for your family from swaying or to much weight on shelf. it is a vital part of shelfing. Easy to put on so don't discard putting them on.5
Over pricedWilliamThey are too thin and over priced. The screws are too short. The vertical they go in should also be predrilled2
SturdyMohammedVery good !5
IVAR Wood StrapsDouglasNeeded the straps to hold the unit together so it would not list or fall. Straps were easy to install and worked perfectly5

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
