How to Fix an IKEA Trofast Shelf

[@Zamboni-0805]

Did he say Ikea makes great stuff @0.03? Are you serious...Ikea make nothing but garbage!

[@diywithandrew]

Haha! A lot of what they make is junk but there are a few things I’ve liked and even purchased over the years.

I have the same issue with trofast shelf where it's 3 compartments beside eachother. I don't think this hack would work for that one. But I did notice if bins are too heavy they warp ever so slightly which will derail them. I may just glue some paint stir sticks under the rails of the heavier bins to give it a little extra to hold on Tom

[@diywithandrew]

That’s a great idea!

[@a.ced.2052]

Why not?? Boards don’t need to be next to each other.. stagger them.. make some pilot holes and or pocket screws…. Wood glue is also amazing

Did that work with the paint sticks ? I am having same issue. Thanks !!

This is excellent ! My is white! How can I get that panel?

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks! It’s just a piece of wood and then you can paint it.

wheres the details for the length of the cut?

[@diywithandrew]

Hi Caitlin! I’m not sure I mentioned that as it might be unique to each persons shelf. I measured the gap between to get my specific measurement.

I just noticed that the white version comes with rails for the bins. I wonder why the wooden one doesn’t?

[@diywithandrew]

Oh wow that is interesting!

[@mommytreasures8161]

I have the white one but still same problem . The drawer fall all the time . I can’t wait to try this hack .

[@diywithandrew]

Yes I think you can.
