IKEA KALLAX Shelf Unit
Model 702.758.61
KALLAX is IKEA's open grid cube shelf, shown here in the large 4-by-4 size. It flat-packs into a square carton about 60 by 12 by 60 inches, the biggest of the KALLAX range, so it is bulky and awkward even though it is only a foot thick. Bring the flat box in and assemble the grid in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
What size is the IKEA KALLAX Shelf Unit carry object?
Use the largest 4x4 flat-pack box: about 60×12×60 inches. IKEA flat-pack products are usually assembled inside the room, so the box is what has to clear the path.
- 02
Is stairs fit harder than a normal doorway?
Yes. Stairs add turns, railings, and headroom. The long edge of the largest 4x4 flat-pack box is usually harder than the width.
- 03
Should I use package dimensions or assembled dimensions?
Use package dimensions when you are bringing home a new IKEA item. Use assembled dimensions only if the product is already built and cannot be disassembled.
- 04
How accurate are these measurements?
These are ItemFits retail research figures based on IKEA published dimensions and the existing IKEA dimensions catalog. Package sizes can vary by color, article, and market, so measure your actual box and run the live checker.
