Hello, I am looking for boards for an old IKEA shelving system, probably around 20 years old, and I don’t know the name. Can anyone help? Unfortunately, the picture is no longer available.

Thanks!

If I’m not mistaken, that’s the old Ivar shelf. Check if the new one is compatible with it. But I’m not entirely sure...

Best regards, Maverick1854

P.S.: Do you have a larger picture?

No, as far as I know, it is not, maybe a predecessor, but also a cheaper system than Ivar. The boards are not compatible either; the shelf measures 75x28 cm (30x11 inches) and the shelf panel is 70x28 cm (28x11 inches) wide/deep.

I have seen it before, but that was a long time ago. The name ... ???
Probably a predecessor.

Was it a series, meaning with different options, or just a single shelf?

If it was a series, then I’m pretty sure it’s Ivar. If it was a single shelf, I think the name was different. I’m not certain on that. Twenty years ago, I hadn’t even thought about my first own apartment, let alone IKEA.

But respect, 20 years old and still in such good condition— not even all cars manage that. It’s basically a classic.

.....so IVAR is definitely not it

Also not a "predecessor" – more like a "follower" or "side version"
I’ll try to find out what it was called....
But it’s supposed to be 100% an IKEA shelf unit ??!!
At some point, there was such a shelf unit, for example from RS Kiefer something... I can only remember RS as the company name.

Hi, everyone!
I am also looking for replacement shelves for an Ikea shelving unit that is about 20 years old. It has chrome-plated steel tube frames shaped like ladders. The white laminated shelves are hung between the ladder frames using metal eyelets. The shelves measure approximately 81 x 41 cm (32 x 16 inches) and have rounded cutouts in the corners so they fit perfectly between the steel tubes.
I need at least three more of these shelves. Does anyone know the name of this shelving unit or can offer any tips on where to find replacement shelves?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Elke
