Anyone know the weight limit for a 4x4 Kallax with undeframe?


I’m setting these up for my vinyl collection, but I chose the version with the undeframe as I don’t want the bottom row of cubes to be on the floor. Given the weight of a 12” stack of records, anyone know if the frame / legs can support 16 of these cubes full of records?

Thanks @bdp24. Actually, the biggest reason I picked the Kallax over the EKET is because of the cube size. The EKET is 12-1/4” internally high while the Kallax is 13”. Some of my large box sets exceed 12-1/4” in height. 

Ah, the IKEA site does have weight information. According to them, for a 4x4 Kallax on legs, the weight limit per cube is 29 pounds.

Typo. I meant to say 12-1/4”.

Yes, I do plan to add a back panel of some sort. Probably plywood.

Ugh! Confusing yes! It had never occurred to me that IKEA would have different versions of the EKET cubes be different sizes! 😑 They’re dumb cubes! 😀 In any event, it seems the leg mount EKETs are limited to two rows. My space limitations and number of records I have require a Kallax 4x4 size - two of them. I need the height to get the additional storage.
