IKEA IVAR Shelving Dimensions
Complete dimensions for all IKEA IVAR Shelving Unit sizes — assembled measurements, flat-pack box dimensions, and weight.
Will your IVAR fit?
Will an IVAR fit through a door?
A section is about 83 cm (32–33") wide — right at the edge of a standard 32" interior door — so the assembled side frame usually goes in before the shelves, or is turned. The 30 cm (11¾") depth is never the blocker.
Check with calculatorWill a tall IVAR fit in my room?
The tallest side unit is 226 cm (89" ≈ 7'5"), so it needs about 7½-foot ceilings to stand upright and cannot be tilted into place under a standard 8-foot ceiling without scraping. The 179 cm and 124 cm frames are far more forgiving.

IKEA IVAR dimensions
An IVAR section is about 83 cm (32.6 in) wide, with side units sold in 124, 179, and 226 cm heights (48.9, 70.5, and 89 inches) and depths of 30 or 50 cm (11.75 or 19.6 in).
IVAR ceiling clearance
The tallest IVAR side unit is 226 cm (89 in, about 7 feet 5 inches). It needs roughly 7.5-foot ceilings to stand upright and cannot be tilted up under a standard 8-foot ceiling, so assemble it standing or choose a shorter frame.
