ᐅ KALLAX Back Panel Clamped in Several Places – Will It Still Hold?

Hello everyone, I have a question about the stability of my KALLAX back panel. During assembly, I noticed that the back panel was inserted between the side panels in multiple places—not just once, but in at least three spots at the same time. Now I’m wondering if this kind of attachment affects the basic stability of the shelving unit or if it’s generally not a problem. The back panel seems to be firmly in place, but I’m unsure whether the material is being stressed or warped over time. I mainly use the unit as a room divider and want to make sure the construction remains secure in the long term, especially when some weight is placed on top. Does anyone have experience with this or can provide technical insights? Thanks in advance!
Hey, I’m taking a relaxed approach to this. Being slightly wedged in can actually provide more stability, as long as the material isn’t damaged. After all, KALLAX isn’t designed as a heavy-duty shelf 😉 A bit of tension on the back panel usually gives the unit character rather than causing problems. If you’re concerned, just check that the back panel isn’t showing any noticeable warping, and then everything should be fine! 🙂 Sometimes we make a mountain out of a molehill.

The shelf isn’t carrying an excessive load; there are just a few books and decorations on the top section
