ᐅ How do you attach Kallax to other IKEA furniture units?

Would adding angle brackets provide extra reinforcement, or would that be overkill?

Hello faman, two screws per side are generally a good starting point, especially if you use a more robust 15 mm (0.6 inch) board. This provides sufficient support, assuming the screws are positioned correctly (at least 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6 inches) from the edges). Angle brackets are not overkill; they can add extra stability, particularly if the joint is under load or subjected to tensile forces. If you have the space and materials available, I would recommend using them. Pro tip: Connect the components in a way that avoids leverage forces acting on the screws, as this can cause them to loosen over time.

Yes, exactly like that! 🙂 The combination of wooden boards + screws + angle brackets is like a dream team! It’s simply very sturdy and barely visible if placed cleverly. Have fun with your project – and definitely let us know how it turned out!

I would like to add: Please check that the furniture is not only screwed together but also placed on a level surface. Sometimes furniture glides or small leveling screws can help prevent wobbling. While screwing the pieces together increases stability, it does not replace a stable base for the furniture.
