Hi friends!

Recently-ish I move to my own appartment with my SO and bought a 5x5 IKEA Kallax to store all my boardgames. Picture attached.

Unfortunately some games are just too big for the Kallax, I can’t store them neither vertically nor horizontally. For the longest time I’ve just had them just on top of the Kallax freely, but recently we (finally) got an AC unit and they would block the airflow.

Currently they’re sitting on the floor but I feel sad for them :P

I considered getting a small Kallax, like a 2x2 or something and put them on top, but seems a bit overkill and I’m not sure it would be aesthetically pleasing.

    The ones that don’t fit inside a Kallax cube - you should hear my guttural growl when the smaller side is exactly 1 centimeter larger than the cube width - then it goes on top of one of the Kallaxes.

    Thankfully it’s not too many games that don’t fit and I have four Kalaxes (ranging from 3x4 to 5x5) to put stuff on top of.
    Still, I wish game designers and publishers tried to respect those standard measurements whenever possible.
