- EXPEDIT (sold until about 2014) used thicker frame panels with the same cube; KALLAX inserts fit both.

## Questions

**How big is a KALLAX cube opening?**

IKEA does not publish the interior. Its inserts are 330 × 330 mm at the front and 370 deep, and its KALLAX box 330 × 380 × 330, so the opening is a little over 330 mm square and about 380 deep.

**How deep is a KALLAX?**

390 mm for every size.
