Ikea Variera Shelf Insert White, Cupboard Organiser Small

This is a very sturdy shelf if you screw the screws up correctly. I mean it- very sturdy and secure.My issue was assembling it. As some people put in the reviews - the holes do not match up and the screws are too big for those holes.It took me good 20 min to assemble one side. I am a handy person.My tip- put the screwdriver in first to make all holew bigger and then screw the bolts in. It will speed it up.Otherwise- perfect little shelf..but it did give me a sweat!

Please see my attached photo!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -I just needed something basic and small as a t.v. stand for my bedroom. I found this perfect for the job.Made of metal with attractive perforated holes, coloured off-white, it is stable for carrying the weight of my small television. There is a slight wobble - but this doesn't bother me; it only wobbles when you touch the stand itself. It is a quick and easy 'self-build' with everything supplied. There is a way of building more on top of one another.Great value and suits my purpose!~ This review was written by a film-lover and design student ~

Amazing how difficult it can be to find a basic small shelf at a decent price. This one fits my needs perfectly however quality needs to be improved, specifically referring to the holes and screws. All but one corner were fine- the last hole was too big meaning the screw would just fall out. As I had 3 screwed in I could use the shelf more or less as normal but it's quite annoying to pay for a faulty product that couldn't get such a simple thing right. I would buy more but honestly just thinking about the risk/hassle of return makes me not want to.

I wanted a small spice rack to go in my cupboard and this does the job perfectly. The only problem I found was putting it together, there's only 4 screws which in theory shouldn't be difficult. However I found that once you've tightened the first three up the holes on the fourth one aren't exactly alined and it makes getting a screw in quite difficult. The way I got round this was putting screws in the opposite diagonal corners and only half tightening them before putting the other two screws in the opposite corners, then tightening each of them up a bit at a time. Once it was fixed it does a great job!

Was ok for extra shelf inside cupboard, quite small so not really big enough for a lot more space

IKEA charge a high minimum delivery fee of £15 so buying on Amazon at the jacked up price was still cheaper than IKEA plus delivery. These have a slim depth so can fit in the narrow space behind my cooker top and give me extra storage in a small kitchen. They are awesome apart from the horribly fiddly screws that do not threat in well. I resolved this by first screwing in from the reverse side and then from the correct side. I am still giving them a 5 star rating as what they do is so useful for the space I had, just buy them with full knowledge that the assembly of the 4 screws could well have you cursing loudly and take 4 to 6 minutes per screw. The little hole pattern also makes cleaning less easy than a smooth surface.

Very helpful to maximise storage space in your cupboard. Strong and durable. Neutral style so you hardly notice it's there.

This shelf was so bad that it actually forced me to write a review for the first time.First of all, the shelf is metal, not wood as the listing states. Also has a rather ugly design on it.Second, the screws are absolute rubbish and WILL NOT screw in no matter what - not even if you use power tools. They don’t fit and they aren’t long or big enough - the whole thing just falls apart. It wouldn’t even be able to hold the last sliver of patience I have left.Thirdly - and this is the worst - when I ordered a refund and sent the package back they tried to refund me about £1.60…. When it cost over a fiver? The only good thing about this entire order was that the refund issue was sorted very quickly and I’m getting the full amount back. So at least the customer service is good.Tldr: shelf isn’t what the listing describes and literally can’t be built. You also might not even get a full refund back when you realise what a mistake ordering this was.
