ᐅ Kallax nails are pushing through the back panel – any solutions?

Created on: 30 Mar 2020 08:04

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with my Kallax shelf where the nails used to fix the back panel start to push through the thin back panel after some time. This not only looks untidy but can also cause the back panel to come loose or not fit properly in the worst case.

I’m interested in any solutions you know of or have tried yourselves. In particular, I’d appreciate tips on how to secure the back panel well without having to buy a completely new one or do extensive modifications. What can be done if the nails work their way through the thin material? Are there alternative fasteners or helpful tricks to prevent the nails from pushing through?

Thanks in advance for your experiences and suggestions!

I can definitely understand how frustrating this problem can be, especially when you’re trying to assemble the shelf carefully. I had something similar with one of my Kallax shelves. What helped me was attaching the back panel with a thin layer of glue and additionally securing it with small corner brackets.

Although this might seem like a bit more effort at first, it now gives me confidence that my shelf stands firmly without needing constant repairs.

I wish you the best of luck with your project and hope you find a solution that works for you!
