Ikea 400.701.85 Bekvam Spice Rack, Birch, Set of 2

First off, these most likely would've been slightly cheaper straight from Ikea. However, I don't want to break up with my boyfriend so I decided to get them from Amazon. (trips to Ikea are known to break relationships) I had been looking for spice racks for quite some time, one of my friends uses these as nail polish holders in her bathroom. They work great! I love that I can adjust the shelf height as well as placement. Hardware came with for install, we did wind up but different drywall anchors though. These are quite plain shelves which means you can paint, stain, colour to your hearts content. I used a dark walnut stain that we have used in our kitchen table, coffee table, one of the hardwood floors, etc. I didn't wind up using varnish or polyurethane which I might down the road. The nice thing with stain it that it does seal and protect to an extent. We aren't using these to eat off of so stain is sufficient.It was exceptionally easy to put together on my own. No man needed for extra strength. I use them only for savory spices at the moment. I use a built in spice rack in the cabinets for baking things. These have lasted for over a year with no problem and I loved being able to adjust the height and design. Well worth it and easy to put together and customize!

This is the second time I've purchased these racks. I'm a hobby woodworker so I could have easily made something similar. But, for the cost, about $10 per unit, and, considering the time required making them, these seemed like a good deal for me. There doesn't seem to be any way anymore to include photos so I'll just try to describe as best as possible.The spice rack I made attaches to the back of a panty door. I actually hung it from the top of the door so no holes were required in the door . Using 6 of these racks, I attached each rack end to a 1 X 4 X 48" pine board with screws.My recent application was to make a "canned goods" storage unit using 8 of these racks. Again, I attached 1 X 4 boards on each end of the racks. This unit is about 72" tall and just sits on the floor against another tall pantry cabinet. I did attach the top of the unit to the top of the pantry cabinet to prevent tip-over.The overall quality of the racks is good. Don't expect "furniture-quality" material, but, the wood is nearly blemish free and very acceptable. Holes and parts fit well together. Assembly is super easy and the required Allen head wrench is included. The "bar" at the front keeps things from falling off. For the spice rack version, I DID make a unit back. The canned goods version didn't need a back since it rests against the cabinet I attached it to.These racks might also be candidates for small parts/material storage for a craft or garage area.

I purchased the two pack. They arrived quickly and thoughtfully packaged. The two shelves came wrapped together in their original Ikea packaging. If you google "Ikea spice rack" you'll find results like "13 hacks for Ikea spice racks". Organize nail polish, ribbon, or jewelry. Display books, plants, or jars. Use it as a hand towel rack or a... spice rack. The uses are endless and the internet is chock full of inspiration. It's a classic Ikea item. It's much more inexpensive at Ikea, but not everyone lives near one. It's such a simplistic yet clever design. It's solid birch and additional sanding isn't absolutely necessary but wouldn't hurt. Paint it, stain it, and/or repurposed it. It's an unfailing boss of shelf. Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded.  We used these shelves for 5-6 years for my kids. They’ve held art supplies, books, cars, and Barbie’s over the years. They are sturdy and easy to install. I’ve never had an issue with them falling off the wall or items being too heavy for them.

We bought these shelves to put children's books on at the kids level so they have a few books to choose from at a time rather than having access to a bookshelf. They look beautiful and are sturdy and large enough to hold several board books at a time. We bought two sets and hung two of them in our bathroom as well to hold nail polish and various toiletries. These are way more than just a spice rack. I am considering buying more for other rooms in my house because they are so useful. I don't think I would use this as a spice rack though just because of the size, it may leave you digging around in the back looking for a spice. A great multi-purpose rack though.

I love these little shelves! I use them to hold my child's books and can get about 4-5 books on each (depending on the book size). I love how they display the covers and that the raw wood material is easy to paint. I decided to paint half of it a color the keep the natural color on parts. I will say installing them is a little tricky as you of course need to be sure you place the screws level and they can hold the appropriate weight before you slide the shelves on. A coupes of my shelves I had to be pretty aggressive to get them to snap onto the screw. But once installed I haven't had any issues and they look fantastic!!

Yes, these are cheaper at IKEA, but I don't live near enough an IKEA to buy them in person, and after paying IKEA's shipping cost, these end up about the same price and Amazon ships MUCH faster. (IKEA purchased generally take 7-14 business days to reach me, and these shipped PRIME 2-day via Amazon).I needed specific shelving for my bathroom, and after shopping locally and online, these seemed the best suited to my needs. they work perfectly in my newly remodeled bathroom to store things that are normally kept cluttering counterspace and keeping them OFF of my countertop. They are sturdy and wide enough to fit four mason jars, which is excellent. I currently have two shelves, the bottom one holding the kids cups, toothbrushes and toothpastes, the second holding the daily toiletries my husband and I use. We will be buying more to add a third shelf for decorative items to round out the look and likely even more for storage for my older daughter to keep around her bunk bed. (she is on the top bunk).A few coats of spray paint and these are fully customizable. Turn one upside down to use as a shelf AND a towel rack (or necklace holder, etc)

It’s a little different from the ones I originally wanted from ikea too, but they are so lovely! Easy to assemble , quality looks great to me and just looks very pretty! I do have to admit the price is higher then in actual ikea store, but I don’t regret buying it.

Great quality and handy size. Would recommend
