Availability may vary by store and prices are subject to change. Please see an IKEA co- worker or visit www.IKEA.ca for more information.
How to plan
What do you want to store?
Sort through all the clothes you own. Count how many pieces you want to store
in each category like shoes, dresses, sweaters, pants, etc.
How much space do you have?
Determine where you want your open storage solution. Sketch out the space,
measuring from the floor to the ceiling and between the walls. Take detailed
measurements, note any windows or doors and allow for opening and closing
doors. Consider any radiators, pipes, ventilation or other features that could
affect your storage solution.
Pick a base
ELVARLI can be made using a wall-anchored side unit (1) or a ceiling-anchored
post (2) as a base. The post height is adjustable between 222-350 cm (87¼-
137¾”). The side unit is available in two depths: 36 cm (14⅛”), 51 cm (20⅛”)
at a height of 216 cm (85″). Remember! Every post must have brackets for each
interior that you add. Every side unit must have a cross-brace.

additional information provided in this buying guide:
Choose the interiors
Clothes rails, shelves, inserts, drawers and shoe shelves are the ELVARLI
interiors. Choose a combination of interiors to solve your specific storage
needs. All interiors are available in two widths: 40 cm (15¾”), 80 cm (31½”),
and two depths: 36 cm (14⅛”), 51 cm (20⅛”). Remember! Although an insert can
be used on its own as a compartment for boxes or folded clothes, every drawer
must have an insert.
Calculate the width
Make sure your solution will fit in your chosen location. Whether you use
posts or side units, you will need to allow for extra width. Calculate the
width of your storage solution using the information on page
3.
TIP! Organize and maximize
Complete your new storage solution with boxes and inserts from our extensive
range of interior accessories. They help you get even more organized so
everything is easy to find. Check out our favorites on page 9.
