Hello everyone, I have the following issue with my Ikea Kallax shelf: smaller items like collectible figures, decorative objects, or even papers keep falling behind the back panel of the shelf. The back panel is made of a thin board attached at the rear and leaves a small gap at the bottom, through which everything can slip. Therefore, I am looking for practical, preferably reversible solutions to prevent things from “slipping through.” Does anyone have a clever idea or a practical method to reinforce or seal the back panel so that items no longer fall behind it, without having to completely rebuild or damage the shelf? I’m open to all suggestions, including DIY tips or material recommendations. Thanks in advance!

I simply used cable ties from the back to pull the back panel against the shelf. Great tip! One small addition: For a neater look, you can attach the cable ties on the inside, between the back panel and the shelf surface, so they are not visible.
Otherwise, I also find the option with hook-and-loop tape very interesting – you attach one part inside to the back panel and the other to the shelf, allowing you to easily remove and reattach the back panel when needed. This reliably prevents it from falling through and is very flexible to use 🙂
