1. In a designer bar

2. In a dollhouse

Each compartment forms a dollhouse room. Arrange and decorate with wrapping paper for wallpaper—simple, inexpensive, and imaginative play at its best.

3. As a multifunction worktable

IKEA's KALLAX shines as a DIY workbench. Add wooden planks, wheels, screws, and a screwdriver for a sturdy, custom table—faster and cheaper than store-bought options. Full tutorial linked.
