Kallax Compatible Craft Storage

Two ways to shelve WestonBoxes in a Kallax

There are two ways to fit WestonBoxes into an IKEA Kallax cube, and they work quite differently. Our Box Staks are freestanding storage units that happen to fit inside a Kallax. Our Kallax shelf inserts are designed specifically for the Kallax: they fix inside a cubicle and turn it into individual shelves for your boxes. Either way, every box slides out on its own without disturbing the rest.

Box Staks: ten boxes in one Kallax cube

The A5 Box Stak and the Pen & Pencil Box Stak fit side by side inside a single standard Kallax cube, with no wasted space and no gap. Together they give you ten individually accessible storage boxes in one cubicle. Because they're freestanding, you can just as easily use them on a desk, a worktop or any shelf deep enough to take them.

  • The right combination: Two A5 Staks won't fit side by side in one cube, and two Pen & Pencil Staks would leave a gap. The A5 + Pen & Pencil pairing is the one that fits exactly.
  • Buy it in one go: the IKEA Kallax Compatible Storage Pack combines both Staks, all ten boxes, and handles in a single purchase.
  • Already own WestonBoxes boxes? The frame-only versions let you add a Stak without buying boxes you don't need.

Kallax shelf inserts: for A4 and 12x12 boxes

Our Kallax shelf inserts are designed for the IKEA Kallax and no other shelving unit. They aren't freestanding: they stick to the inside walls of a Kallax cubicle with peel-and-stick glue dots, and each box then sits on its own shelf. They're how you shelve the boxes we don't make a Kallax-fitting Stak for.

  • A4 inserts, 5 boxes per cube: The A4 Box Stak is too big for a Kallax, so these inserts are the way to shelve A4 Storage Boxes in one. The boxes sit close together, so five black slip-on handles are included to pull each box out smoothly.
  • 12x12 inserts, 4 boxes per cube: There's no Stak for the 12x12 Scrapbook Paper Storage Box, so these inserts give your 12x12 boxes individual slide-out shelves. A finger-sized gap between shelves means no handles are needed. Fit a second set of inserts above the first and a single cube holds 8 boxes.
  • With or without boxes: Both inserts are available on their own for boxes you already have, or as a pack with boxes included. A4 boxes come in clear, red, pink, purple, blue, green, white or a multicolour mix; 12x12 boxes come in clear.
  • Made in Britain: Staks, boxes, handles and Kallax inserts are all made at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames. The boxes and Stak frames are injection moulded in recyclable polypropylene; the inserts are 3D printed in durable black PETG.

Kallax compatible storage β€” frequently asked questions

Does anything from the WestonBoxes range fit an IKEA Kallax shelving unit?

Yes, in two ways. The A5 Box Stak and Pen & Pencil Box Stak both fit a standard Kallax cube and sit side by side in the same cube. Our Kallax shelf inserts, designed specifically for the Kallax, hold 5 A4 Storage Boxes or 4 12x12 Storage Boxes in one cube, or 8 12x12 boxes with a second set of inserts fitted above the first.

What's the difference between a Box Stak and a Kallax shelf insert?

A Box Stak is a freestanding storage unit. You can use it anywhere, and the A5 and Pen & Pencil Staks happen to fit a Kallax cube. Kallax shelf inserts are designed for the Kallax and nothing else. They only work when fixed inside a Kallax cubicle and won't stand up on their own.

How many boxes fit in one Kallax cube?

Ten with an A5 Box Stak and a Pen & Pencil Box Stak side by side. Five A4 Storage Boxes with the A4 Kallax inserts. Four 12x12 Storage Boxes with the 12x12 Kallax inserts, or eight with a second set fitted above the first. Every box slides out individually.

Can I store A4 boxes in a Kallax?

Yes, with the A4 Kallax inserts. The A4 Box Stak frame is too large for a standard Kallax cube, so the inserts are the way to give A4 boxes their own shelves inside one. If you want freestanding A4 storage outside a Kallax, the A4 Box Stak is the one to choose.

Do I need to buy boxes as well?

Only if you don't already have them. The Stak frames and both Kallax inserts are sold on their own for boxes you already own. If you're starting from scratch, the IKEA Kallax Compatible Storage Pack and the insert packs with boxes included give you everything in one purchase.

Where are these made?

Designed, manufactured, and quality-checked at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. S.B.Weston Ltd has been manufacturing in south west London since 1948.
