Hello everyone,

I am planning to move soon and have a large Kallax shelving unit that I want to transport intact. My question is whether there are specific protective solutions for the corners of a Kallax unit to prevent damage such as chipping or scratches during the move.

I am aware of various general protective materials like foam corner guards or edge protectors that can be used for furniture, but is there anything specifically designed for Kallax corners? Or does anyone have experience with the best way to protect these vulnerable areas without causing additional damage or making the unit difficult to handle?

It would also be helpful to know if these protective products are available ready-made or if you usually have to make your own.

Thanks for your advice!

As an addition: There are different types of edge protection for furniture, including rigid foam, soft foam, and plastic profiles. For Kallax corners, foam edge protectors are recommended, as they absorb impacts and prevent the edges from breaking or splintering.

An interesting option is universal corner protectors that can be attached. These are often designed for pallets or moving boxes but can also be effectively used on furniture.

Foam edge protectors can be found in any hardware store.

That is correct and represents the most economical solution. Important: After installation, secure the protector properly, for example with adhesive tape or stretch wrap, to prevent it from coming loose.

For delicate surfaces, don’t forget to use separate protective film to avoid scratches caused by friction.

Foam edge protectors are standard, but closed-cell foam also works. Make sure to secure them carefully. There are no ready-made corner protectors specifically for Kallax, but most corners are similar, so good edge protection is sufficient.
