I need a unit for my daughters small bedroom. Something similar size to a 4 x 1 Kallax unit from IKEA but ideally not Ikea because the idea of taking 2 kids there on my own is not my idea of a fun time 😂

Any recommendations for small storage furniture from elsewhere? And somewhere that won't break the bank ideally.

Thanks!

Homebase had some very similar ones when we were looking for our kids' rooms

Argos do them and the boxes. They are a bit smaller though

Can you get the Kallax unit delivered? I couldn’t be arsed to go to IKEA for the billionth time so had a lack floating shelf delivered. Think it cost about £5 but taking into account petrol/time/parking and stress it was worth it to me.

I work for Argos and we sell loads of our cube units . They are a brilliant seller and I think some of the boxes are on sale . We have them in white , oak and black and 4 , 6 , 8 cubes but they aren’t as big as the IKEA ones . The wood is a little narrower but still fine .

Another vote for the Homebase ones. Be aware they have two different sizes there though. Clever Cube and Compact Cube. The Clever Cube range is the one that is the same size as Kallax and the IKEA inserts all fit nicely (I have even fitted the IKEA drawer inserts into mine with no trouble)

Hi,Check this one out on Amazon it comes complete with the storage boxes which is good..if you scroll to the end of that page there's lots of combinations..An Amazon company call Homcom ( no don't laugh) 😆do a nice range including a stepped version of cube unit ..you could use the top shelves to display their toy cars & books eff too https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09BZSHFWD/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B09BZT2P4L&pd_rd_w=JnRWP&content-id=amzn1.sym.46187d6a-4306-4bc6-830c-7b2085e0e39f&pf_rd_p=46187d6a-4306-4bc6-830c-7b2085e0e39f&pf_rd_r=1NXMQ9KX04M6KYZ07XZC&pd_rd_wg=xM16m&pd_rd_r=c5b34f00-2c0c-4930-9ccc-c228ba67aff3&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&smid=AYOY8RAWWFWOH&th=1
