Hello everyone,
I’m currently considering placing my heavy stereo system into KALLAX shelves, but I’m unsure if the furniture is designed to support such weight. The system weighs nearly 30 kg (66 lbs), distributed across several components like an amplifier, CD player, and turntable.
Has anyone had practical experience with this? I’m especially interested in whether the individual compartments can support the weight long-term, if there is a risk of deformation or instability, and whether additional reinforcements would be recommended.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Interesting theory, but I find a blanket rejection problematic.I partly agree, but I tend to avoid using IKEA furniture for heavily loaded technical equipment.
Why? Because the brand’s appealing image often leads to simply adopting universal solutions from the furniture store, despite technical limitations.
If you really want to protect your stereo system, give it a suitable, sturdy place that meets the technical requirements and not just 'looks good.'
Of course, with reinforcements, much can be saved. Still, it remains a compromise.
