Product Overview

Manufactured in Hutchinson, MN

Your Kallax cube, fully upgraded.

Already own an IKEA® Kallax unit? This insert slides into a single cube opening and turns it into purpose-built craft storage — 10 configurable spaces you fill with any mix of drawers and paper shelves. The furniture you have, doing the job you actually need.

*Product not affiliated with IKEA®

Designed to fit a standard Kallax cube.

The insert is sized specifically for the standard 13" × 13" Kallax cube opening — it slides in cleanly, no modifications to your furniture required. One insert per cube, as many cubes as you'd like to upgrade.

Drawer access, not digging through bins.

Instead of one big open cube where supplies pile up, you get slim, organized drawers that slide out — and come out entirely, so you can carry a drawer of supplies straight to your work surface.

Configure it your way.

Choose a pre-selected configuration for a quick start, or build your own mix from individual drawer sizes and paper shelves. And since drawers slide right out, you can change the mix anytime your supplies change.

Reconfigure anytime

Swap drawers and shelves in and out as your supplies change.

Small-space friendly

Adds serious storage without adding a single piece of furniture.

Manufactured in MN

Built at BCO HQ in Hutchinson. Ships in approximately one week.

10 spaces. Fill them your way.

Think of the insert's interior as 10 vertical "spaces." Each component uses a set number of them — mix and match until all 10 are spoken for. (You can always change the mix later.)

Common questions.

Will this fit my Kallax unit?
The insert is designed for the standard 13" × 13" Kallax cube opening, and each insert fills one cube. Measure your unit's openings to confirm before ordering — the insert itself is 13-1/4" H × 13-1/4" W × 14-1/4" D.
Can I use this without a Kallax unit?
No — this product is an insert, not a standalone cabinet, and must be installed inside an IKEA® Kallax cube. If you want freestanding storage with the same 10-space system, our Storage Cube is the one you're looking for.
Will 12×12 scrapbook paper fit inside a drawer?
No — drawer interiors measure 12" wide, which is too tight for 12" paper. For paper storage, add a Paper Shelf to your configuration instead — they're designed specifically for slanted 12×12 access. Just remember a paper shelf in the top position uses 2 spaces instead of 1.
Are the drawers translucent or solid white?
Solid white. As of May 2023, all drawers and paper shelves are made from high-quality solid white polypropylene (they were previously translucent). Pair them with label holders so you always know what's inside.
Is this product affiliated with IKEA®?
No — Best Craft Organizer is not affiliated with IKEA®. This insert is an independent product we designed and manufacture in Hutchinson, Minnesota, sized to fit the standard Kallax cube opening.
How long does assembly take?
All you need is a screwdriver — all hardware is included. View assembly instructions →

    Update to recent Review

    Posted by Janice H. on 06 29 22

    I am happy to update my review of June 20, 2022 as the problems I had with the add-on were resolved satisfactorily. More than satisfactory, in fact. I am delighted with the replacements sent, easy to put together with the proper panels. The sides don't stick but the add-on fits the cube perfectly and the drawers have no problem gliding in and out. I am very, very happy with the storage add -on and plan to purchase more inserts for the drawers. I am now able to have all my sewing supplies, notions, etc together, easy to see and find! Love the thread holder inserts!

    Storage Add on for Ikea

    Posted by Janice H on 06 20 22

    I'd like to review this product however, I have not been able to put it together. It arrived with a backing (made of chipboard) that did not fit the slots in the side panels. Customer service was good about contacting me and said there had been an issue and she thought the company had caught all the problem backings. It took over 2 weeks to receive the new panels. They were exactly the same as the problem ones. Further, the picture and videos show the back panel as white to match the sides, the back panels I received are just unfinished chipboard. This was not an inexpensive purchase at over $80.00 plus shipping so I would expect that all the panels would match and be of equal quality. If they work as intended they might be ok as storage but I have yet to find out.

    Beyond better than I thought was possibly

    Posted by Aly Mikos on 04 27 22

    I was in the market for something similar to the storage flexibility and functionality of the Create Room Dream Box but didn’t need such a large piece of furniture and had plenty of room so didn’t need the ability to close up my storage. . But I was enamored with the storage options that the dream box offered and set upon seeing what was out there that would give me my own DIY personal dream box. The storage add-on for IKEA from best craft organizer exceeded anything I thought I would find on the Internet. I initially purchased one IKEA add-on unit to get a sense for the functionality and quality of the product and as soon as I set it up, it was GLORIOUS!!! I promptly bought five more add on units with each unit consisting of two triple drawer inserts and two double drawer inserts. My studio space is INCREDIBLE now, with each and every one of my doodads and craft supplies organized, stored, easily accessible and found. And I spent a fraction of what I would have spent if I had gone with the dream box. I am now considering other areas in my home that might also benefit from the storage add-on unit as it’s so customizable and functional. Specific to the product- I like the opaque drawers so that my space looks tidy as opposed to cluttered and chaotic. The drawers are so deep and lengthy that a number of different drawer organizers fit in the inserts, beyond those that can be purchased through best craft organizer. I was able to repurpose a lot of the organizer containers I already owned, and also purchased some of the organizers from best craft organizer. I’m also please that the drawers remove fairly easily from the rails so the drawers can be both storage options but also take along for craft projects. When I need to pause the project I’m working on, I can put everything in the drawer insert, put it back in place in my storage piece and return to it when I’m able to. I cannot say enough positive things about this product! It absolutely fills a niche for crafters who need customizable, shallow, functional and flexible storage options and those who don’t wanna break the bank to find them. I have told all of my craft enthusiast family members and friends about this product and feel like it’s only a matter of time before it blows up in popularity because it’s so PERFECT for a variety of craft interests. If I could, I would attach a Pictor my space because I’m So in love with it and it makes me so happy each time I’m in my studio now. If you’re considering buying this item, do it right away as you will not be disappointed.

    best Organizer IKEA storage add on

    Posted by Marie J on 02 24 22

    This should have need an easy set up but it was not. Please consider making a complete housing for this unit. 2 have 2 sides and a back is ok if the shelving unit is flush against the wall. Most will have molding on the wall which prevents this. So because there is no top or bottom to this unit there is nothing to stabilize the back back of the add on and kept on falling behind my shelving unit. Very frustrating but I did find a work around. Also the unit is not wide enough to adhere to the sides of the cube and keep the cabinets from falling. Again, i was able to come up with a work around. BCO Response: The Storage Add-on for IKEA should be easy to install. Upon investigating this issue, we found the back panel was mislabeled, which caused the back panel to be the wrong size. The "top" of the panel should have been one of the sides of the panel instead. We have corrected this problem and sent a resolution to the customer. If you have any problems with our products when you receive them, please contact our Customer Service department ASAP so we can work with you to resolve the issue. You can contact us via email at contact@bestcraftorganizer.com or phone at 866-498-2378.

    Storage Add-on for IKEA

    Posted by Katie Price on 02 03 21

    I'm impressed with the thoughtful engineering, quality of construction, ease of assembly, and very careful packaging for shipment. I thought your products were overpriced until I started assembling and using the Add-on for IKEA units. I'm very pleased and would recommend to other crafters.
