![]() The problem with every other commercially available bookcase option I’ve seen, is that they are all flimsy. The Target knock-offs of the Kallax are maybe comparable, but they’re made out of recycled cardboard boxes. Compared to every other option, there isn’t a single vertical storage method that even comes close. At $199, that’s only 16 cents a record it can hold. Expand that out to the 5X5 Kallax-the biggest one available-and you can hold 1250 records. That 2X2 model runs for $50, or 25 cents per record it holds. You can fit around 50-60 records in each cube in a Kallax, which means a 2X2 model can hold 200 records. Seriously, this can’t be underscored enough. The Kallax is the best shelf for storing vinyl records, and not just because its dimensions are big enough for vinyl record storage. There are super expensive ink pad holders on Etsy, but I LOVE this kind of “stadium seating” ink pad holder because I can pull it out and put it on my desk when I am doing a big inking project! It is like $25-30 versus a hundred for the actual ink pad holder on Etsy.I know some of you are probably saying “but wait, the insanely expensive wooden cube structure that I purchased is the best” or “my carpenter brother-in-law built me custom shelves in my listening den” or “I don’t like Ikea,” but I think you all know, deep down in the darkest recesses of your heart, that you’re profoundly wrong. Now this is not cheap (I think it was like $50) but it works great! They are actually We Are Memory Keepers and you can get them on Amazon too, but they are a little more expensive there. I found this cool paper holder from (you have to get 8 levels to fill the cube). I had an old paper holder from a school on my desk and it was very handy but it wouldn't fit into my Kallax cubes. While these are not “officially” inserts, I have gotten some things that make my Kallax cubes much more functional! Paper Holder from I haven't been brave enough to paint this one yet so it isn't the same color as my Kallax cubes! Organizing Ideas For Your Kallax Cubes The thing about these is that most of them are unfinished and made of balsam wood or MDF which can be hard to paint without warping. I messed up and ordered the same, 9 hole shape that I already had, but you can find ALL kinds of different configurations to use in your cubes on Etsy! I ordered this one from a seller who isn't on Etsy anymore, but SmugNStuff has lots of the ones that I checked out before! ![]() While I love the quality of the inserts from Ikea, they didn't really have all the shapes and sizes that I needed! If you have something large to store it would be great, but I like my cubes broken up a little more than this one does. It is SUPER deep (as deep as a cube) and not very “organizy”. ![]() Okay, this Lekman Box or drawer insert was a bit of a disappointment for me. I think I might have put it somewhere else had I known better, but it works great! Kallax Drawer Insert – Lekman Box Okay, this is a favorite and I might be getting at least one more! It is approximately $25.Īs you can see in my video I use it to keep my glue in and the two drawers work a treat! I have no complaints what-so-ever about this one except you have to screw it in so it is kind of stuck there now. I have a bit of open space there right now, but I love how it makes it easy to divide little things.īONUS TIP… I have my Kallax unit a bit out from the wall and there is an extension cord in there for a plug so I don't have to pull the whole thing out if I want to plug something in! Kallax Insert With Two Drawers This one is amazing for splitting up the Kallax unit into manageble sizes for smaller items! It is about $15.

Kallax 9 Hole Insert While I need extra storage, I also am visual so being able to see everything was super important to me too!Īt the time I had one little insert that I could use for organizing and KNEW that I would want to have more ways to break up the storage unit!
