Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I finally got my Kallaxes (Kallaxi?) and finally organized my collection. And my wife finally got her linen closet back. I'm not sure who is happier.
  • It's recommended a lot because it's an excellent, affordable shelf with quite a few advantages when it comes to storing games.
  • kallax is cheap, games can´t fall off to the side and they catch less dust. you can literally use any shelf you want, but kallax is the one-fits-all solution for a good price.
  • I just dump all the components in a bathtub. Setup time takes longer, but there sooo much space in the Kallax now
  • Pyramid built out of Kallax

Cons

  • Great use of Kallax cubes. I use them myself. There are a few games that don't fit unfortunately, so I can't house the game collection exclusively in Kallax.
  • bass frequencies from the speakers will make the Kallax cabinets under the amp/dac/turntable shake and vibrate, while playing bass-heavy music; - these vibrations (and resonance frequencies which the Kallax may have) will feed into the c...
  • Tbf bgcj is like the same 4 jokes recycled over and over again (Patchwork, Kalax, shrink/sleeves, all-in pledge/dont tell the wife).
  • The aesthetics are so horrible for a relatively large piece of furniture.
  • No, they have too much Kallax. OP would have been golden with just one of the two, based on how many games they have.

bass frequencies from the speakers will make the Kallax cabinets under the amp/dac/turntable shake and vibrate, while playing bass-heavy music; - these vibrations (and resonance frequencies which the Kallax may have) will feed into the casing of the amp and dac

Saw a few posts on here for these Kallax. I'm so happy that I got one, they are literally perfection for board game storage.
