Hello everyone, I recently built my Kallax shelves a bit differently in my mind – stacking the modules “the other way around,” so that the back panel faces forward and the open side faces backward :-) Now I’m wondering how stable this setup actually is. Is it possible to stack Kallax modules reversed like this and connect them securely without compromising stability and load capacity? My main concern is a secure connection, as I want to store some heavier items in them. Do any of you have experience or tips on whether this is a safe approach, or if it’s better to stick to the standard configuration? Looking forward to your opinions!
I really like the idea of stacking Kallax modules in reverse. Sometimes experimenting with standard furniture setups is the best thing you can do! 🙂
I can imagine that having the view on the back panel opens up new design possibilities, like covering it with wallpaper or graphic films. Just be sure to keep an eye on the stability.
Maybe using some furniture felt pads, screws, and brackets will help — this way it’s sturdy but still looks unique. Let’s just hope Ikea releases modules with a rotating design soon 😉
Overall: Yes, it will hold if you approach it with some common sense. But don’t just stack them loosely!
