![]() Does it work as a family media centre? Yes. Does it sort of prevent me from stepping on Legos? Yes. Like I literally do not have time to care about that kind of thing.ĭoes it look clean and tidy? Yes. ![]() I don’t really care if a Lego ends up in the crayon bin. We have the typical Brimnes baskets in the Kallax and they now hide all of the tiny toys that we just scoop up at the end of every day and toss back in. Sometimes there’s worry that MDF furniture that you put together yourself will become lose and fall apart or warp – but this unit is solid. I’m impressed at how not-rickety this shelf is too, even after it’s been moved up and down our stairs half a dozen times over the years. It’s the right height to function as a fabulous media stand too.ĭan was able to hide all the cords and surge protectors behind it, and place our sound bar right on top. The Kallax as playroom storageĪs far as playroom storage is concerned, this Kallax shelf is literally the best. I might be falling in and out of love with stain. We stained our boards using our tried and true Minwax Stain Cloths… though, if you read my recent review of Saman Water Based Stain, you’ll know that I’m now itching to restain every flipping piece of wood in our home. A little construction adhesive and 2″ nails in a brad nailer and whambo-bambo, an Ikea hack that took all of 30 minutes and looks great. We cut another set of 1x8s to match the side lengths and to match up with the tops. If you want your 1x8s to fit perfectly flush with your Kallax, you will have to use a table saw to trim them down lengthwise. But that is the side of the boards that sits against the wall so a) you don’t see it or notice it and b) it made for a bigger surface area, which was great with the baby. We’ve had a few questions about the size of the boards and yes – there is about a 1 3/4″ overhang.
