Hello everyone, I have the following problem: My IKEA KALLAX shelf rattles every time I open or close the window next to it. It seems that the movement of the window sash causes small vibrations that make the shelf rattle. The noise mainly comes from the compartments with the shelves – these seem to move slightly, even though they should be firmly in place. My question is: What is the best way to fix or dampen the KALLAX shelf to eliminate the rattling? Are there any special tips to stabilize the shelf or prevent the shelves from moving? I would appreciate any ideas, even simple solutions like sealing tape or other aids.

Should I use several small screw points when attaching to the wall?Yes, using multiple fasteners is advisable. This helps to distribute the load evenly and keeps the shelf stable. It also prevents the shelf from coming loose at the front bottom or the side while still rattling.
It is important to place the screws so that they secure the upper part of the shelf, not at the level of the shelves. This ensures enough clearance for the inserts and minimizes pressure on the wood.
This approach can significantly reduce vibrations when opening the window.
