Hi Adam, I came home to find my wife having a mini breakdown trying to assemble this piece. Your instructions were perfect and saved me from trying to read Ikea's stick figure icons. Thanks so much.

This video was unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. Your little girl was so adorable walking up to help daddy. :)

thank you, the booklet confused, watching you was extremely clear and helpful, nice shirt too !!

I watched this video before work this morning, and after work I went to ikea and came home and built it. This video helped. Thanks!🇨🇦

Thanks! the video really helped to understand how to mount since I had lost the instructions. also great tip on the wall beams.

Thanks for this video. I have a Besta TV cabinet that I am mounting to the wall. The last part of your video applies to that as well. The 2" course wood screws was exactly the information I needed since all IKEA could tell me was to use "appropriate screws" for the wall material that I was hanging my unit on. Thanks!

Great step by step instructions! completed 2 very quickly and accurately

This has helpt me an awful lot. Finally mounting my Kallax! Many many thanks from Holland. I never understood that i already have mounts and dont have to go looking for those long brackets!

Thanks for the easy instructions! I was able to put mine together without any issues!

VERY helpful. I wasn't sure if I needed to attach the brackets if I was only putting it on the floor, but managed to put it up and store on the floor in my flat! Thanks man :~)

Thanks, Adam!...got me through my project in less than an hour! Wish you could have put the drawer in, that's where I really had problems and decided not to install them! Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I was going to hire someone to hang them, but I feel super confident to do it myself now! Your baby is such a cutie too. :)

Thanks for this! It's really helpful!

Great post! I threw the white piece you click on, I have to go back in the trash to retrieve them. Thanks!

Didn't feel like reading instructions, thanks for the quick walk thru your a real Mensch.

Great vid and kudos for wearing the Three Lions.

Thanks. Extremely helpful. I purchased one as-is. Just need to find the missing pieces to buy or obtain to mount them

I bought these shelves years ago and just decided to put them up. Thanks for the video! Great help!

Thank you this was really useful. it took about an hour to get the first one together. Now onto the next one.

I finally caved in, listened to Lindsay and downloaded Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible. Needless to say It finally pointed me in the right direction and I’ve made some cool stuff too :)

You can also run a painted 1 x 3 across the studs and then connect the Kallax to the 1 x 3 using the stock holes.

Thank you, I’m a visual learner and this made it simple.

Yeah, anchor bolts are awesome.

Good vid, very helpful. Thanks! (Beams do not run vertically, studs do)

I bought these second hand, but they had never been assembled. There were no instructions with mine, so Thanks for the your video!!!

Really helpful , I am moving into my own apartment. Will try it.

Thank you for this vid. You just saved me a headache with the Ikea brackets that came with the shelf.

Love the video, Very helpful. Thanks bunches

Thank you. I wish I had watched these before I put my bookcase together. Now on to my cube units with some direction.😁

Thank you so much, I would not have been able to do it without you!!!!!!!

Very helpful and loving the England shirt.

Thank you 🙏you made it sooo easy for me.

Great video. Very helpful. Favorite part? Cute baby head appearance. 😊

Thanks for the video!!!! First attempt with the Ikea manual failed :( But with your tutorial next to us, it was easy!! :)

Thanks. That was very helpful. You're a good teacher.

thanks so much! truly saved my time and stress--i just moved so I lost my original instructions, and had no idea how to put it all back together. thanks!

Very helpful and cute baby... tried to lift the bookshelf with you, awww

Thank you. Very helpful. Especially as I lost the original instructions :)

This video is awesome! Thank you!

Thanks, your method worked perfectly!

Thank you great vid. Found one someone threw out and want to ensamble up in my bathroom for storage. Hopefully do it right. Love the part where your kid passed gas, gave the video a nice touch! Lol

Good video. I have a question, Can you not just use plasterboard fixings instead of having to find a stud?

The trick to securely mounting a bookcase to the wall is support at the bottom. Your baseboard acts like a cleat to support its full width - fine for a 2-shelf bookcase. To wall-mount larger bookcases (with heavier loads), you'll need more than a cleat. Build a wall shelf with HD wall brackets that supports the entire weight of the loaded bookcase at the desired height above the floor.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!

Super helpful thank you so much for sharing this video

Thanks buddy ...your video was very useful to fix this shelf

Thank you friend, it really helped :)

would you recommend doing this method with other brands of shelves? Walmart has similar styles but at a different price with different colors, etc.

Thank you for the hanging instructions! I'll be hanging a couple of the 4 square Kallax soon. I also have one of the 8 square Kallax. Ikea says it is not a hanging model, but do you think I could mount it low using a bracket in each top square (four total)?

Great video. Lot of information 👍

Is it possible to get moulding to cover the front sections where you can see its two units?

Great video, about to by some Kallax myself but the 4 boxes in 1 row, rather than the 4 boxes in the square grid like yours. My question how are they holding up with weight have you stored books in them. The Kallax I'm buying only comes with three wall mounts and like you I want to of course use the studs. I wondering if I should add some more brackest just in case,

I've got metal studs in the walls. How best to fix wall cabinets on them?

question can you have this shelf free standing (the bigger one) without wall brackets as i want to use this shelf to put cables behind easily with a inch space behind it

Thank you I feel proud that I done it My on on own thank you for your help

Great video. A big thank you!

This helped a lot🙏🏻 thank u

Was very helpful. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the video! Very helpful. Any idea on the max weight those can hold? Would getting longer screws to put in the studs help at all?

two of the dowels broke. so if the center piece that takes four wooden dowels on both ends. would it hurt if one end only had two since its going to be screwed down with the side and bottom pieces?

Can I use some other sort of brackets to save myself the long trip back to IKEA? I've already installed the brackets that came with and don't want to weaken the threads by unscrewing them... So could I use maybe an L bracket for that 2nd stud?

Hi! Ty for the video! Does this work with Smagora shelving units also? Ty!

he he! nice video, thanks, nicely explained - and what a cutie watching you there!!!

ola sou do brasil sou montador de moveis esse sistema e muito bom . boa sorte

Thanks for the video. I had to take back one set I purchased. The wood stunts are hard to maneuver in and when I went to put the middle shelf the small side tipped over and the wood stunts broke off. So they were stuck into the boards. You sort a have to maneuver the thing so it won’t do that. You have to maneuver on its side and then put in the middle shelf so the small boards won’t tip over. Of course the instructions are so comical.!

Would it work if you use an anchor

Thanks for postimg this video. This cost $60 in Canada!! ☺

hi do the mounting brackets and face plates come with the shelf?

Can this video be helpful for mounting a jewelry armorie as well?

Useful video, thanks. Liked for the Three Lions on the shirt. 🦁🦁🦁

Would you happen to know if it's possible to like seperate each square or some other way to adjust the shelf to make it smaller in any way? I have a space that my mother didnt measure before buying the shelf and it's just a tiny bit too wide to fit in the closet she wants it in. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I've had one of those z shaped screw drivers for years. I've never thought to use them like that.

9:05 when the baby tooted XD was funny

Good job mate... Nice to see little girl taking an interest in daddy working :-)

Thanks for this. Put this up but couldn't really find whether I'd done it safe or not, then I was worrying whether the screws would hold it in. Regardless, I ordered some free brackets that I'll use for the bottom left and right to help support the top left and right... I'm going to be sleeping under it so would feel much more comfortable doing that 😂 After a more complicated wardrobe, I was impressed how easy this went together. Will definitely be buying more for my other rooms

How did it hold up?

I appreciated your simple and to-the-point instructions. You made your instructions very easy to understand, especially the instructions for measuring, drilling and mounting the cabinet to the wall. Ikea should hire you to draw and write their instructions - you do a much better job. Thank you for the instruction.

Very helpful video. Getting this unit shortly but not for wall but on casters. I'd like to not use the top divider so I end up with 1 wide shelf over 2 cubes. Would that work? Be secure enough do you think? :)

Does this type of bracket have a specific name? Any idea where I can buy more for safe mounting? Thanks!

Hi Adam, useful little video. We have a 4 x 2 Kallax unit being delivered (UK) on Thursday but according to the online instructions, it should not be wall mounted. Is this a health and safety coverall or it it really too heavy to wall mount? If not wopuld some kind of backboard in mdf or chipboard give some rigidity? It is going on a dabbed plasterboard/brick wall. Thanks, Phil. P.S. Colette should be a regular assistant-so cute.

thanks a lot for this!!

Can we fix on the wall the kallax 8 holes ????

Hello... Im just wondering about the cross shelf in the middle...theres 1 long placed horizontally and 2 short ones on top of each other... can i reverse this??? I basically want to install the long board vertically because I only want to use one of the short boards because I want to place something tall on 1 of the slots without the short board.

Nicely done. Thx.

Thank u 🌸 u helped me alot 🙏🏻

Extremely helpful video! I put 2 Kallax 4-cube bookshelves together thanks to your help (no wall mounting...just standing in my daughter's room). You need to make a video on what to do when the wooden dowels break inside the holes while assembling! :) Luckily I found some other videos to fix that.

Yeeees!!! Thats why i am reading the comments now! I need a help .. i broke 3 and i don’t know how to take them off :(

Are you resting the shelf unit on the molding underneath? And how much weight do you think the shelf could safely hold if properly installed into studs? Thanks for the video!

I don't think that mine came with instructions. Your video was very helpful :)

How to wall mount when using Kallax as divider?

Hi i got shelves simular to this but the thing is -.- they didn't come with screws to go into the dam wall and I'm not sure what screws I need to put into my wall could you help me with advising what screws to use, I can tell you I think if I'm correct the walls are a layer of plaster but after that is brick.
