Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat unusual problem: In our hallway, there is an Ikea Kallax shelf that we use as a shoe rack. Unfortunately, the shelf keeps tipping slightly toward the entrance door. It’s not a huge issue, but it’s annoying, and I’m worried it might get damaged or eventually fall over.
The shelf stands on a relatively smooth laminate floor, and I suspect that the weight of the shoes combined with the uneven surface causes it to lean toward the entrance.
Does anyone have practical tips or experience on how to make the Kallax more stable so it no longer tips? Maybe there are special pads, anchors, or weight distribution tricks that could help. I’m grateful for any advice!

One last tip: Especially with long-term use, you should occasionally check the shelving and particularly the supports to prevent wear and tear. Laminate and materials react to stress over time, so it makes sense to periodically inspect the wedges and mats.
This way, you can ensure lasting stability and avoid damage.
