First, let's start by attaching the feet to the side panels. This will give your TV stand stability and prevent it from wobbling.

Attaching the Feet

Begin by placing a side panel flat on the floor. Take one of the feet and align it with the predrilled holes at the bottom of the side panel. Ensure the foot's opening faces the inside of the panel.

Using the Allen key provided, insert it into the hole and turn it clockwise until the foot is securely attached. Repeat this process for the remaining three side panels.

Attaching the Shelves

Now that your side panels have their feet, it's time to add the shelves. The KALLAX TV stand comes with four adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize your storage space.

AD

Start by placing two side panels together, ensuring the feet are on the outside. Take one of the shelves and align it with the grooves on the inside of the side panels. The shelf should rest on the small ledges inside the grooves.

Assembling the Unit

With the shelves in place, you're ready to assemble the main structure of your KALLAX TV stand.

Begin by placing the two side panels with shelves against each other, ensuring the shelves are aligned. Take the remaining two side panels and attach them to the other side, creating a rectangular frame.

Securing the Frame

Once your frame is together, it's time to secure it with screws. Take one of the screws and align it with the predrilled holes on the inside of the frame. Using the Phillips screwdriver, insert the screw and turn it clockwise until it's securely fastened.

Most-liked video | 5.7M views · 111K reactions | These are literally Kallax shelves… trimmed out, face-framed, leveled, and doors built from scratch. I wanted that custom built-in look without the $3k price tag, so I used what I already had, added a pine countertop, pocket holed everything together, and used leftover plywood for the face frame + doors. Budget builds for the win. 🙌🏼 The best part? No one believes it’s IKEA until I tell them. If you’ve been scared to try an IKEA hack, this is your sign. | Built by Bec | Facebook

Repeat this process for all four corners of your KALLAX TV stand. Ensure the screws are tight enough to secure the frame but not so tight that they damage the wood.

Wall Mounting (Optional)

If you prefer to mount your KALLAX TV stand to the wall, IKEA provides brackets for this purpose. First, ensure your wall can support the weight of the TV stand and your television. Then, using a drill, mark the positions where the brackets will be attached.

AD

Attach the brackets to the wall using appropriate screws, then attach the corresponding parts on the back of the KALLAX TV stand. Once both parts are securely fastened, your TV stand should be safely mounted to the wall.

Congratulations! You've successfully assembled your IKEA KALLAX TV stand. Now, it's time to style it with your favorite decor, organize your media devices, and enjoy your new, clutter-free space. Happy decorating!
