Hello everyone, I have an issue with the drawer inserts in the IKEA KALLAX shelving unit – unfortunately, the plastic edges keep chipping at the corners. This not only looks unpleasant but also affects their stability. Does anyone have experience with more durable alternatives to these standard inserts or perhaps tips on how to extend the lifespan of the original inserts? I am thinking about other materials, custom-made solutions, or special protective measures. Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!

Just cut the plywood, sand it, paint it – and you’re done!That sounds great and almost tempting, even though I’m not much of a DIY person. How difficult is such a project in practice? And how does the stability compare to the original? Does it really feel more solid?
