Step 17 of 18
OMAR 92×36×181 step 17 of 18: Clip on the wall fittings
Check how far the skirting board holds the posts off the wall. Up to 3 mm, the fittings go on without a spacer; for about 10 or 15 mm, push a spacer (10054270) onto the back of each fitting first, as here. Clip a wall fitting (10054272) round each back post just under each unit’s top shelf: 4 in all.

The parts' sizes are our 3D model's own estimates: close, not measured. The outer sizes (92 × 36 × 94 cm a unit, 181 cm stacked), the shelves’ 33 kg load, the boxes’ weights and the hardware’s sizes and materials are IKEA’s; the posts’ grooves and sleeves, the shelves’ wires and heights and where the wall fittings sit are our own estimates. IKEA publishes only the outer size.

Questions
How do you stack two OMAR shelving units?
Build both units the same way. Pull the 4 caps out of the tops of the lower unit’s posts, pull the sleeves, with their feet, off the bottom ends of the upper unit’s posts, then lift the upper unit on so the narrow ends of its posts go into the lower unit’s posts. IKEA shows no more than two units stacked.
Which way up do the OMAR shelves go?
The wire ends bend down at the front and back of each shelf: that is its underside. While the first shelf stands on its edge for the posts, its underside faces the feet; the other two go on the right way up, lowered over the posts.
Do I need tools to assemble OMAR?
No tools for the shelving itself: the feet, clips, shelves and caps all go on by hand. For the wall fittings you need a screwdriver for your wall screws, and screws and plugs that suit your wall, which are not in the box.
Do I have to fix the OMAR section to the wall?
Yes. IKEA says it must be securely anchored: each box has two wall fittings, which clip round the back posts under the top shelf, and two spacers for a skirting board.
How much can each OMAR shelf hold?
IKEA gives a maximum load of 33 kg for each shelf.
Safety
Furniture that tips over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. IKEA says this shelving must be securely anchored to the wall with the wall fittings in the box. Wall screws and plugs are not included: use ones that suit your wall, and ask a professional if you are unsure. Stack no more than two units, and use it only indoors.
About this guide
This is an independent 3D engineering guide modeled from physical hardware specifications and standard fastener part numbers so you can identify your pieces before building. The outer size, 92 × 36 × 181 cm, is IKEA's published size. The outer sizes (92 × 36 × 94 cm a unit, 181 cm stacked), the shelves’ 33 kg load, the boxes’ weights and the hardware’s sizes and materials are IKEA’s; the posts’ grooves and sleeves, the shelves’ wires and heights and where the wall fittings sit are our own estimates. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
IKEA gives a maximum load of 33 kg for each shelf. Only for indoor use.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and OMAR are named only to say which product this guide is for.
