Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my IKEA KALLAX shelving unit: Every time I move the furniture or rearrange things, the back panel often comes loose or falls out completely. This is not only annoying but also unattractive because it affects both the stability and appearance. The back panel is normally fixed with small nails, but they don’t seem to hold well enough when the unit is moved.
Does anyone have practical tips or experience on how to better secure the KALLAX back panel so it stays firmly in place even after multiple relocations? Maybe there is a better fastening method or special tools? I don’t want to change the look or functionality, just find a more secure solution.
Thanks for any advice!

Secure the back panel with small screws or furniture tape. Thanks, that sounds practical. Can you recommend what type of screws would be suitable to avoid damaging the material?

used thin self-adhesive hook strips[...] it holds much more firmly now, without having to screw the back panel separately. That’s an interesting idea, I’ll keep it in mind for my moving frenzy!

small strips attached inside, matching the color, and the back panel clamped in place with them. Could you describe that in more detail? Are these profiles made of wood or plastic? Do you need to drill or just stick them on?
I’d be happy to hear more ideas – apparently, this topic isn’t unimportant. I’ll report back once I have tested something.
