Fit for the job.
I bought these as shelves for the fridge so make better use of the space. They work perfectly. I did find them a little bit fiddly screwing the legs on but other than that I've had no problem with them.

Great shelf unit to make the most of the space in tall cupboards
This is exactly the same product that you can buy at IKEA for the same price, but you can get it delivered for free (at least if you have Prime). It is easy to assemble (just follow the instructions as with any other IKEA product) and sturdy. I only disliked that it doesn't have anything underneath to prevent scratching the surface you put it on, but I purchased some really cheap rubber feet that did the trick and it's now perfect.

Good value shelving
The assembly is irritating because there are no threaded inserts for the screws. The screws had to be drilled in with downward force, which also shears the Pozi head.The shelves themself are fairly sturdy and could hold a few KG, they're metal and a decent size, stacking on top of each other, with the screws securing them in place.

Super 👍🏻
Really great. This was easy to put together and fits in the Kallax storage unit.

Great organiser if you can assemble
The item itself is great. I bought two, one took me 45 mins to assemble it as the holes don’t fit well with the screws, the other one has no problem as all and took me a few minutes to put the parts together.

Buyer beware: screws don't fit & holes not aligned!
Ordered 5 items (32x28x16 cm) on sale April 2022. Thought it was a good deal for a sturdy-looking and non-plastic storage solution. But IKEA strikes again with good design undermined by terrible execution.Nevermind that it is *not* easy to assemble (manual says you only need a screwdriver; you definitely also need strong clamps to hold the legs and shelf in place.) Fatal design flaw is the tiny screws are too big for the holes that are pre-bored into the metal shelf, and the holes themselves do not align with the supposedly matching holes in the legs!So, as other reviewers have noted, even if you do use the surprising amounts of patience and force required to get the 4 screws in each corner hole, they will not be fully flush with the legs due to the leg hole beneath being misaligned, therefore making the entire structure wobbly, unstable & totally unfit for purpose! Idiotic waste of material and time.This is not a one-off. I've opened 2 of the 5 shelves now to try to assemble them. No success. I will be returning them all & requesting a refund.Photos show seeming legit IKEA packaging & manual included, shelf/leg holes misaligned, and poor quality tiny screw that you will bend out of shape with your screwdriver when trying to get it in...

Holes not drilled big enough.
I had to make the holes bigger first, using the larger screws before being able to fit the correct size screws in as the correct screws would not fit in the holes as the holes were too small. Very poor for £8 a piece. It also seems over the top for a simple item, folding or slot in legs would make more sense.

Fully recommend
I was really dubious about buying these as a lot of reviews say they are hard/terrible/fiddly to build. I bought 4 and had them all built in under 10 minutes. No problems whatsoever.There are 4 small screws to attach the legs, and 4 larger screws should you wish to have one shelf on top of another.I was very surprised with the sturdiness and the quality of these. I only bought 4 to see what the quality was like. I have now ordered 6 more 🙂.At £4 each they are an absolute bargin and they doubled our storage space.
