Kallax was never made from "wood". The new one is quite study particle board filled with honey comb paper, the old one was very thin MDF with carton spacers.

Kallax was never made from "wood". The new one is quite study particle board filled with honey comb paper, the old one was very thin MDF with carton spacers. I have both an old expedit and a new kallax and there is no noticable difference. The main downfall of both is the coating with is thin and easy to destroy.
- lnsru 6y agoObviously I bought something else than IKEA product some 15 years ago. It was 5x5 huge wooden shelf. Had problems to lift parts of it and sold later for more than I paid. Deal of lifetime! Expedit and Kallax have different size, German description: https://new-swedish-design.de/de/blog/expedit-vs.-kallax-regal-unterschiede-im-detail https://new-swedish-design.de/de/blog/expedit-vs.-kallax-reg...
- the_mitsuhiko 6y ago> Expedit and Kallax have different size Yes, but Kallax is IKEA's official replacement for Expedit.
