Thank you for this great tutorial. I bought a second-hand 4x4 Kallax that was disassembled today and with your guidance it was easy to put together. Bless you. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@angharadswansea9343]

Excellent tutorial. Very simple to follow. I just bought this unit last week and I was not looking forward to putting it together, but watching this video I think it’s going to go quite smoothly. I appreciate this tutorial.

This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@mikasazoldyck2482]

Thanks a lot, just assembled it today!

[@catmaddy]

Is anyone else having trouble on the first step? i can't even put the screws in without there being a huge gap no matter how hard i push the two sides together.

[@JustinJosephRE]

Yup, I just hired someone to do it cause I can't be bothered lol.
Edit: They never showed up, but I figured it out after a while. Just use a drill, makes it alot easier.

Same 😢

[@jordankolb2976]

Same here

I’ve built and rebuilt the 5x5 version of this shelf many times. What I find is that you have to keep turning the screw, then you overcome the separation and the panels will come together. If you have a really stubborn one, you can screw the screw into just the side panel first, this cuts some threads making a groove for the screw to slot into. You take the screw back out and then assemble the panel as in the first step.

Спасибо за ваше видео, сделал по другому видео, но у вас тоже подробно, единственное, что хочу сказать, наверное нужно чаще показывать общий план, так иногда понятнее моментами! спасибо)

[@cathtaylor2771]

[@MrDrainBramaged]

[@cathtaylor2771]

Me too

[@deathwitheponine]

Thank you so much for this.

[@tillybinkieking7258]

Thank you very much.

[@TheRoboCaterpillar]

Am I right in that you don't need any special tools other than a hammer? Do you need a drill?

[@annasalinas2070]

Great tutorial. I'll assemble mine tomorrow.

[@jasjas20072]

Better to use a mallet instead of a hammer if you have one available.

[@aryaabnave2868]

Thanks 😊

[@Skorrigan]

How stable is it without screwing the unit to the wall?

[@JeffN-A]

Thank you Brother!

[@moosey62]

Thanks man ;-)

[@thestrengthsessions409]

thanks!

[@sophyrules]

Thank you!

[@eduardogarcia9793]

You the man

[@MrSu13lime]

You forgot the part where you have to cut 1cm off the dowels with wire cutters because they are just that much longer than the hole that were drilled for them.

[@MrSu13lime]

Thank you for the video though!

[@eushaneop8654]

Merciiiiiiii

[@MariamRizvi]

What screws do you recommend to attach it to the wall?

[@vivekv.mistry3674]

I have the same question. I looked up IKEA store and I don't see the same exact wall attachments.

[@cathtaylor2771]

I'll be using brown wall plugs and then see what screws fit the plugs

[@MagickYoga]

It was impossible to hit the shelves in by hand they wouldn’t go I had to use a hammer with a cloth to cover the edge and still damaged the shelves and now it’s in the trash .. never again

[@barbarybar]

Have a problem. Can't lay the unit down as there is not enough floor space and cannot move from another room as passageways are too narrow. Might have to assemble on the side.

[@riandymikael1817]

What is the metal bracket called? Does ikea sell it?

[@Dadaadad268]

You don't show how to screw the bottom screws in , only the top ones ...

[@DesideriusTheSerious]

Lmao just lift it up a bit or put a few books underneath.

[@Dadaadad268]

@@DesideriusTheSerious he skips the tricky bit, disgraceful

[@angharadswansea9343]

You might have to start from the bottom up, I think it would be doable. Let us know how it went.

[@ahgakpop6687]

Thanks

[@ririishere]

how heavy was it to carry that entire thing?

[@originalfurniturereviews2964]

It's about 80 pounds so you'll probably need 2 people to carry it

[@ririishere]

@@originalfurniturereviews2964 jesus

[@alexwinter3272]

I carried it myself and I'm not that strong. Not sure how much it weighs though

[@TheHeater2121]

How about using some sort of glue along with the other hardware.

[@johnfleming5470]

Don’t do it - if you ever need to disassemble it you’re screwed and it doesn’t need it - it’s very sturdy and stable

[@stimpyfeelinit]

we can do this bros

[@emmawright8054]

Boy do you bruise your hand whacking the panels onto the dowels 😮
