Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, one of the vertical dividers in my IKEA Kallax shelving unit has broken — specifically the central divider, which provides important stability. Since I don't want to replace the entire unit, I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with repairing or replacing individual parts?

Are there official replacement parts available directly from IKEA, or do you have to rely on third-party suppliers? Also, how is the overall stability after such a replacement?

I’m looking forward to your tips or experiences, especially regarding the correct assembly or any tricks to keep the shelving unit stable and durable.

Thanks in advance!

In short: Official replacement parts are not available. Get a suitable MDF board, use biscuits (Lamellos) for joining, and the stability will be as good as before.

Brackets help if you want extra stability. It is important to align everything carefully and glue it properly.
