I've got loads of the stuff in the kids bedrooms.

You should have got a number of metel pegs with the shelving. If you haven't
got these, then Ikea can supply them separately.

These go into the holes in the side pieces. If you look under the shelves,
there is a metal "slot" in each corner, which fits over the metal pegs. In
its simplest form, you have two side panels with the pegs pointing inwards -
4 for each shelf, all at the same height. This can be expanded as far as you
like, with more side panels and shelves (you only need to add 1 side panel
for another "column" of shelves - ie 2 shelf width = 3 side panels, 4 shelf
width = 5 panels and so on.

I've screwed the side panels to the wall with one screw at the top of each
side panel. Once the shelves are in place, this arrangement is rock solid.
I've also cut out at the bottom rear for the skirting board.

We've acquired some second hand Ikea IVAR shelving but have no idea how it
goes together - can anyone help?
