What replaced Ikea Expedit?
IKEA will replace EXPEDIT with a similar shelf called the KALLAX, which Simonsen said “has the same internal sizes and uses the same internal fittings.” It will also have rounded edges to be more child-friendly.
Is Ikea KALLAX the same as Expedit?
The Kallax is nearly identical to the Expedit – it will maintain the same internal dimensions and use the same internal fittings. There’s just one major difference: the wood that makes up the outer edge of the design is going to be slimmed down.
How wide are KALLAX shelves?
Don’t let them have all the fun! Keep in mind when shopping that the openings of the KALLAX (previously the EXPEDIT) shelving units are 13″ wide x 13″ high (and 15 3/8″ deep). Six of these fit that space exactly, while the rest give you a little wiggle room in one or more directions.
What are the dimensions of Ikea KALLAX?
The IKEA Kallax Shelf Unit 4×2 has an overall height of 30.375” (77.2 cm), width of 57.875” (147 cm), and depth of 15.375” (39.1 cm).

What’s the difference between KALLAX and Flysta?
However, the significant differences are that the package is twice the weight at 73 lbs. and the shelves and the partitions are made of the same material as the outside panel, so this product will end up with a more uniform look. The individual pieces feel heavier, so I expect Kallax to be sturdier than the Flysta.
