Hello everyone,
I am currently exploring storage solutions for dance and ballet accessories, particularly the question: Who uses the KALLAX shelving system from IKEA as a ballet storage unit? I am especially interested in how well the KALLAX performs in this specific context—that is, whether it offers enough storage space and stability for ballet shoes, leotards, towels, possibly small training equipment, and personal items.
Does anyone have practical experience or tips on how to adapt this shelving unit for optimal organization and order in a ballet setting? Perhaps with dividers or additional elements? Information on dimensions and load capacity would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Some users add doors or drawers to the KALLAX to protect delicate clothing from dust.I consider this modification reasonable; however, the functionality with doors is limited if you need quick access frequently. For some ballet accessories, this can actually create a barrier to use. Are there any experiences on how often doors or drawers are actually used in daily life? I believe additional modular inserts offer more flexibility.
I would also like to point out that the load capacity of 13 kg (28.7 lbs) per compartment may be sufficient for weights, but the load distribution should be considered to avoid putting continuous stress on the shelf.
For organizing in the KALLAX, I recommend thinking about categories in advance: for example, shoes in one compartment with breathable boxes, workout clothes in another, towels in a separate basket. It is important to declutter regularly to avoid unnecessary clutter. If you store weights, consider using an additional shelf or a separate rack. Ballet accessories like tunics or scarves can be stored well in large fabric boxes that you can easily take out.

I consider this addition valid, but functionality with doors is limited if you need frequent quick access.That is basically true, but I have found that doors are very helpful for long-term storage of delicate parts. For daily use, I would rather leave out doors or only equip selected compartments with them.
Regarding @sugabo's question about the layout: Often, 4-6 boxes of varying sizes make sense. Smaller compartments for accessories, larger ones for clothing and towels. Important: Make sure to label everything clearly and keep it tidy.
