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.

Thanks. The worst part was the fact that buildings never make 90⁰ angles, so mounting it was tricky. But it's been there a year now and it's not moving. Some day I'll put a long kallax like shelf above it to span the doorway, but I'm in no rush, too many other projects.

Edit: my favorite part is the storage in the back, it fits a couch table on one level and maps, cards against humanity and a few other long things on the other.
