ᐅ Small Ikea Lack shelf not holding weight – installation tips

The screws have not been tightened far enough.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem: the shelf keeps sagging in the front, even though there are only a few stuffed animals and a lightweight box on it. I could use some advice as well. Adjusting the screws doesn’t help.

Can you upload pictures? Shelf on the wall from the side, wall with screws after removal, backside of the LACK.

Here is the shelf from the side. I will take it down tomorrow and post more pictures.

I have noticed a similar issue with the shelves. When they are stacked vertically and the distance to, for example, the ceiling is measured, you get different distances between the front edge and the edge against the wall. Since they are still holding in my case, I haven’t thought about a solution yet...

Hello,


two quick questions first: Is the wall straight and vertical (at the point where the beam rests on the wall)? And are the "fingers" of the beam really horizontal? Which screws did you use? In my case, fairly large (and long) screws with a flat head or pan head have held very well for many years (until dismantling).
