Sturdy and contemporary designFredaMy son loves it
However we should have waited one more week before IKEA decided to drop the price the following week after we had purchased we could have saved $100 😫
Love this deskMaddieI love this desk. Nice design, two wide and deep drawers, love that there is the little 'fold back' section to hide all my cables.
Of note, the box is quite heavy - it's definitely a 2-person job to get it from the car to the house.
Small desk but it does the jobGeorgeI bought a similar desk about 3 years ago and this time I wanted to increase the desk size. so I bought the same thing. Disappointing that the original colour is no longer available, so they don't really match.
Big enough and strong enoughJanaThis was also a Winning Buy... My child love this desk and the concealed cable holder is a great touch
Great deskShahrzadThis is our third in our home so simple and stylish
Beautiful Desk but some adviceWarrenThis is a great desk however one part of it will make or break your experience putting it together and it looks like others have had a similar experience.
The part where you put the steel legs and frame together is where you can become incredibly frustrated or breeze through. When you insert the legs you need to make sure you push them down to lock the legs in. Go up to insert then push down. If you don't (trust me from the initial mistake I made and the headache that followed) nothing will line up properly and will seem like it is out of alignment. You will also have a problem with the steel bar that goes across. So a simple part, if you do right will save you a lot of a headache.
Other than that, it was very easy to put together and looks great! Very happy.
Hope this helps!!

Great deskMariaThis is a really lovely desk, the drawers are so handy as is the little hideaway for any cables. We bought two and they were so easy to put together.
Fit for purpose and easy to assemble.AlfredThis desk is very practical. I would like to have slightly deeper drawers. And the coating on the desktop can be just a bit more resilient.
Excellent desk with drawersBarryGreat desk with 2 handy drawers. Easy to assemble. Looks good.
Instructions and photos not clear enough.ArianeDesk looks nice, but the instructions were not clear enough, some pictures of the parts should be enlarged so avoid mistakes when put together. Also there was no hole for the screw at the back of the drawers, asking to hammer it and ended up damaging one part of the drawer, not happy just kept it because I needed urgently.
Good size desk, can be difficult to assemble PalindeeOverall, the appearance, desk size and usability is great/ can be multipurpose. However, I found when assembling, some parts were difficult to slot it. Instructions could be more clear.
Perfect desk for WFHAndiThe size and design are meeting all my expectations.
Just what I was looking for, easy to buy and assemble TomPerfect size desk with plenty of space to hide all the cords needed for my computer and printer.
Ample drawer space as well. So easy to assemble.
My new sewing tableDjThis desk is my new sewing table/cabinet and it's perfect in every way and serves the job well. Sewing cabinets cost so much and I just couldn't afford one. Looking about I finally stumbled on this white Alex desk and am so glad I did, it is fabulous, use the drawers for scissors, threads and all my other sewing Knick knacks. 100% PERFECT.
Not a FanRobDimensions and all that was ideal. Display was good. Most of the assembly was ok apart from the cross bar on the leg structure that wouldn’t sit low enough for the top to then screw in. Ended up removing the cross bar all together. End of desk and legs didn’t align either out by 7mm and was unable to screw in all supports for top into legs.
