IKEA EXPEDIT KALLAX SHELVING UNIT BOOKCASE STORAGE HOME FURNITURE WHITE (4X4 Large Square Unit)

I know, I'm a little late to the Ikea party – love the products, hate the stores; I've only ever been in one of their stores three times and each time got lost and almost suffered a panic attack. Imagine my delight, then, when I discovered exactly what I wanted on Amazon – oh joy! Next task was to persuade Mr Gadget to help me assemble it, and let me tell you, our record on flat-pack assembly is not good. I reckon they should all come with a set of divorce papers and a first aid kit.Anyway I ordered this unit, and was surprised when it arrived a good 3 days earlier than expected, which was actually fine by me. An hour, and several trips to The Shed to get various bits n pieces, and the whole thing was assembled and in place! Not a cross word between us.This has to be the easiest thing to assemble. The instructions – all diagrams, no text – are easy to follow, and the whole thing went together without a hitch. An Allen key is provided, but we found a ratchet screwdriver quicker and easier. We also used a metal crochet hook to line up the holes before knocking in the dowel pegs, or screwing in the screws. Obviously you don't need a crochet hook but that was at hand and proved to be the perfect tool for the job. We also tipped it this way and that to make reaching certain bits easier, and used a mallet rather than a hammer, to know the dowel pegs in. This means if you do happen to slip you're less likely to mark the piece.The finish and quality is superb; it feels really good and solid; all the pieces are straight, no wibbly-wobbly pieces anywhere.The DRONA boxes I ordered are a perfect fit. We love this so much I've ordered another one.

Just buy them from IKEA online, these are IKEA units for twice the price, just because they were on Amazon.I bought a few units from this buyer and most of the units were damaged in one way or another.

This was exactly what I wanted for my craft room, easy to assemble and move into another room. Everything is now put away into it's own home.
