Hello everyone,
I have a rather technical question regarding the popular IKEA Kallax shelving system: Has anyone here ever needed to replace Kallax boards? Specifically, I’m interested to know if anyone has figured out which types of screws or adhesives work best for the fixed connections, what alternative materials could be used for the boards, or if it only makes sense to repair it by replacing the entire unit.
I’m asking because a few of my boards are slightly damaged in some spots, and I’m unsure whether a partial replacement makes sense technically and economically—especially concerning load-bearing capacity and appearance.
Are there any recommendations for tools or techniques to replace Kallax boards yourself without having to dismantle the entire unit?
I look forward to your experiences, tips, or warnings if anyone has done such repairs before. Thanks!

Make sure to sand and seal the edges thoroughlyExactly. This is essential because the edges of particle boards are particularly vulnerable. Otherwise, shrinkage due to moisture is likely.
