Hello dear community,

I am glad to have found you because I cannot go to Ikea at the moment, but I have a few questions - maybe you can help me. I am looking for a shelf that I can place at the foot end of my EKEBERG bed (1.40m wide) to put the TV on. I have now discovered the shelf BITRÄDE on the internet, which fits better in terms of size than EXPEDIT, which tilted would slightly stick out on the sides of the bed. Now my questions: Can BITRÄDE also be easily "laid on its side"? And which boxes (e.g. LEKMAN/compatible with EXPEDIT) fit inside?

Here is a plan of my room


The Biträde is supposed to replace the two small Expedit shelves that I had originally planned.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I don't know whether the shelves are just placed in or if they are firmly anchored in the shelf with dowels. If they are not installed with dowels, the shelves (however you want to place them) will constantly fall over, and you will also have a problem with stability. The shelf will bend over time due to the weight. If the shelves are dowelled, you will have no problems with stability. It should then hold up without any issues.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you which boxes fit. Just go to IKEA and see what the sample pieces look like. Often they show options there...

Hello Maverick,

thanks for the tips, now I know what to watch out for.
It will just take a little while until I can go to IKEA again. ^^

Best regards, Nessa
