Weakest IKEA product I ever purchasedAlexThe dowels will snap with the slightest pressure. Leaving broken dowel in the holes. When trying to use a drill and screw to pull out the broken dowel with pliers it splinters and crumbles. We tried shaving another dowel down and fitting it firmly in hole with the left over remains of the dowel. Those remains pierced through the other side of the hole when mounting the other board.
This product is inferior to other similar products for this price. I’m done with this overpriced cheaply made furniture. Just go to Target and buy similar products. It might cost slightly more, but it is worth it.
I had to throw this piece of junk in the dumpster. 1

What ever happened to Swedish engineering?Daniel2x4 Kallax.
I wasn't expecting much for $79, but I didn't even get that.
1) The screws used to fit the base, top and side pieces together required the use of an electric drill to secure them into place. The 'tool' provided was grossly inadequate to the task.
2) The accessory shelf(s) I purchased to use in this unit did not fit. I spent an hour carefully shaving off excess material before I could slide it into the slot.
3) Instructions for the closing door cabinet accessory are inadequate. The process appears to require the side pieces to be screwed into the frame. I have some obvious concerns over applying sufficient force to start a screw without snapping the walls.
4) The box was short two of the fluted dowels. My local hardware stores were unable to provide an identicle replacement, so a 60 mile round trip to the Ikea warehouse was required. I remember when a couple extra pieces of hardware were packed incase of loss or damage during assembly.

IslandBerlandaOur kitchen is small with little to no counter space. I got this to use as an island. It works perfectly I added a wooden base and some wheels in order to move it around. It was so quick and easy to assemble. I will definitely be purchasing more.5
