Hello everyone, I have an issue with my Kallax shelf: the shelves keep cracking at the corners, even though I only store normal loads on them. It seems like the material reinforcement at the corners is simply not sufficient, or the wood is somehow too brittle. Has anyone experienced this problem before? I’m especially interested in repair ideas that provide more than just a short-term fix and actually improve the stability of the boards. Tips for prevention to stop the corners from fraying further are also welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!
A brief update after one week: The corners remain stable with no new cracks. The metal brackets are doing a good job, and the plastic profiles also seem sturdy.
Additionally, I treated the surface of the boards with furniture oil, which now feels a bit smoother and looks better.
Thanks again to everyone for the support – if anyone else encounters similar issues, I can definitely recommend the combination of wood glue, brackets, plastic profiles, and maintenance oil. 🙂
