Good morning everyone,
I am currently facing the challenge of connecting several KALLAX units from IKEA in such a way that no visible gaps appear between them. The goal is to achieve as seamless a look as possible, especially when arranging the units side by side or stacked to create a uniform surface.
I’m interested in what options exist to join these cabinets without visible seams—are there special connectors, assembly techniques, or craftsmanship tips that can make this possible?
I have already seen the standard IKEA connection elements, but these often leave narrow gaps visible. I have also considered offsetting the back panels or adding cover strips, but I’m unsure how effective these methods are.
I would really appreciate practical advice or recommendations, especially from those who have experience with such assemblies. Thanks in advance!

One more point regarding the stability of multiple arrangements of KALLAX units: a continuous top cover (for example, a worktop or a large MDF board) can significantly help to connect the units into a single structure.
This also conceals small gaps and stabilizes the overall frame. However, this board must lie very flat and even to avoid creating additional gaps.
When combined with precisely fitting connecting strips and careful installation, nearly invisible transitions can be achieved.

I can’t get this idea out of my head, especially for configurations where several modules are aligned side by side. Would it be possible to attach such a cover on the sides as well? Basically to create a kind of frame that surrounds and conceals all the modules?
