The new GREJIG collection from IKEA repackages a humble bestseller into a coherent little system. At its core sits the original GREJIG shoe rack, a single-tier wire shelf that long served as an inexpensive, reliable shoe tray. IKEA has expanded that quiet utility with two purpose-built companions: a wall grid and a wall pocket. Together the three pieces create a coordinated, affordable setup that reads like a deliberately designed entryway solution rather than an ad-hoc set of bits. The total price for the trio comes in at under $21, with individual prices listed on the IKEA US website and in stores.
Functionally simple, the GREJIG range leans into the strengths of wire-based organizers: visibility, airflow and minimal weight. The wall-mounted wire panel approach keeps frequently used items off surfaces, while the open construction makes it easy to spot what you need. In practice, this means the set works as a shoe station, quick mail drop, hat-and-scarf hanger or small-tool organiser in a garage. The collection follows a single visual language — matte black wire — so pieces align neatly when stacked: grid above, pocket in the middle, shoe rack on the floor.
What’s in the three-piece GREJIG range
The trio is deliberately compact: the original GREJIG shoe rack remains a $4.99 single-tier wire shelf that holds shoes at ground level; the new GREJIG wall pocket is priced at $7 and is a horizontal wire basket; the standout new piece, the GREJIG wall grid, is $8 and includes a shallow shelf plus hooks. All three items share the same width so they can be stacked and aligned for a uniform look. The wall pocket is specified at 58x17x28 cm (product code 806.107.66) and can store scarves, mail, magazines, or up to three pairs of shoes, depending on shoe size and placement.
Design details and build quality
The wall grid ships with five rounded hooks that clip into the grid and have been tested to support up to 4 kg per hook, giving a reliable hanging point for coats, headphones, bags or umbrellas. IKEA also adds small corner spacers on the grid to maintain a gap from the wall and prevent scratches — a small but thoughtful touch compared with many budget grids that sit flush and can mark paint. The wall pocket includes side brackets that stop items from slipping out and help the basket keep its shape, which is particularly handy for irregular loads like rolled-up towels or dog leads.
Materials, cleaning and assembly
Construction is straightforward: panels and cross-braces are made from steel with a polyethylene powder coating (cross-brace: steel, powder coating), designed for durability in everyday use. Assembly and wall mounting are minimal, but IKEA flags an important safety note: the pieces must be securely anchored to avoid tipping or falling. Screws and wall plugs are not included, and wall anchoring requirements vary by material (for example, plaster supports less weight than wood, concrete or brick). Cleaning is simple — wipe with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner, then dry.
Where GREJIG works best
While the entryway is the obvious place to start, the GREJIG trio adapts across rooms. In a home office the grid clears cables and headphones from desks; in the kitchen, the pocket mounted on the inside of a cabinet door holds towels or trash-bag rolls; in a children’s room the grid at lower height becomes a display and storage wall for art and small toys. In workshops or garages the grid behaves like a neat alternative to a pegboard, with a cleaner, more refined look. Because the pieces are lightweight and visually simple, they can be mixed into many decor styles without clashing.
Value proposition
Wire grid systems are popular in interior images for their minimal, modular appeal, but achieving that look can be hit-or-miss at low price points. What makes GREJIG notable is IKEA’s decision to sell matched parts at sub-$10 price points that were designed to work together. The result is an inexpensive, flexible kit that delivers the tidy, intentional aesthetic consumers expect from curated wall-storage without a high price tag. For anyone wanting a low-cost, adaptable organizer that can be expanded or repositioned, GREJIG makes a practical case.
