ᐅ Kallax unit no longer level due to uneven floorboards – ideas for leveling?

Hello everyone,

I have a Kallax shelving unit that I placed on an old wooden plank floor. Unfortunately, the floor isn’t even – some of the planks are slightly warped and there are several uneven spots, causing the shelving unit to wobble sideways and not sit perfectly level.

The shelving unit is full of books and some decorative items, so stability is very important, and I also want to avoid damaging the unit.

Does anyone have experience or ideas on how to level or stabilize a Kallax shelving unit on an uneven wooden plank floor? I’m looking for practical solutions that don’t require major modifications but still provide a secure and level result.

Would a combination of pads, wedge-shaped shims, or special furniture feet be a good approach? I’d appreciate any well-considered advice!

Wooden wedges or rubber pads always work.

If the shelf is not heavily loaded, you can also level the feet with shim pads. They are very thin and easy to adjust.
