You can move the shelves in 3 different positions, which makes it possible to place the shelf unit against a wall or between two desks without it taking up extra space.
The shelf unit is easy to fix in place or remove as needed since it has screw mounts.
The screw mounts have a soft surface that protects the top of the table from scratches and pressure marks.

Wonky Assembly But. . . YolandaI purchased the VATTENKAR in the "As Is" section months ago and JUST found time to put it together. Reading the instructions was like trying to figure out a foreign language. I finally just looked at the parts and the holes and played around until I got it together.
I was hoping it would fit on my NISSAFORS utility cart but the VATTENKAR is wider than the cart so there's nothing to anchor to. But it works perfectly for my LINNMON tabletop for small items.
Horrible / Doesn't Install Properly / Don’t Buy!ChrisI never write reviews, but wanted to warn others about this item. The 4 screws that connect the side bars to the table are too small. The screws don’t hold the bar due to not being able to thread. I bought two of these units in different colors and had the same issue with each of them. The only reason I can imagine why people have given this item a good review is that they bought it before ikea changed the screw size. Very unhappy with this purchase.
Absolutely perfect way to add space to a deskKyraIf you need some more space on your desk for office supplies or anything, this is perfect. I used mine to display some small plants at my desk.
Great shelfLoriWorks great on my desk and craft table . Perfect space maker. A little hard to put together, could have used a third hand, but it’s perfect for my needs
Easy to assembleLorellThia worked great for the kids hw table. It was easy to install and convinient.
It was shipped and delivered quickly and easy to put together.JillA great addition to my work table to hold my paint bottles.
Clamp not Universal RitaKey into details for clamp as it is a great idea in theory but if there is not a long enough lip than essentially it is not useful.
Awesome addition EvaWorked perfectly on my small desk. Love the added space. It was very easy to put together. Needs more color options is the only fault I could find.
I really like itVerified ReviewerI'll start with saying it was a pain to put together and I say that as someone who has built a lot of ikea stuff. It wasn't hard.. it was just super annoying. I LOVE it though. It fits perfectly and feels very secure.
Shelf attachmentNotsetEasy to assemble and meets its objective very well. Thank you very much!
Smart shelf for a tight space PaulVattenkar shelf fits snugly UNDERNEATH the desk to hold a desktop computer neatly, rather than above. Sturdy and complimentary to the IKEA desk, works well and holds numerous items.
Good idea but difficult to assembleSusanI couldn't resist these shelves because they fit in a space I have almost perfectly. Getting the pieces to fit in place was not easy and one shelf turned out not to be straight.
Perfect!!JohnI have the adjustable height desk and this looks and works great!! Very easy to assemble too!! Now my wife wants two for her crafts desk!! I would recomend this to anyone!!
Assembly IssuesAngelinaI like the product. I purchased two and I believe once they are fully assembled they will work as intended. Problem is, there were so many previous complaints about the holes for the bracket assembly being too small that they have now made them too big! The screws for attaching the bracket to the side supports (step 3) are now too small and/or the holes too large. They just fall out and do not thread. Making this impossible to assemble without sourcing different screws.
Desk top holderJenniferHard to put together but really like the function of it.
Vattenkar - kitchen shelfJudyI am happy with the shelf. Putting it together is challenging for one person. Once it is assembled and put in place it works great. I recommend it.
You need definitely need a drill.Bhavana1) Great way to add storage for your desk, table etc.
2) A pain to install. You NEED A DRILL to make the holes on the columns bigger to screw in the shelves. They come with pretty small useless predrilled holes.
Provides a little extra spaceJenThis shelf added a little more interest to my desk and allowed me have more clean surface. For now, I am only using it with the top shelf so that I can stack books below it. I was worried about buying based on reviews about assembly. Yes, there are moments where it’s a little tricky balancing the pieces and starting to turn the screw but I managed, it did not take long to assemble, and I only needed a screw driver. An extra set of hands might have been useful but I didn’t need.
Best shelfTraceyI bought these to attach to my Kallex desktop, they clamp to the desk and help with organization in my craft room yet I am able to have everything still within reach.
Great shelf, but very tricky to put together.DanOther reviews are spot on regarding installation. It's definitely tough, but all the parts are correct, and they do definitely go together fine.
