PerfectNicoleIt’s exactly what my daughter wanted for her makeup desk5
Draw slides faultyPamelaThis is my second purchase of Alex, and once again the metal drawer slides have failed. They simply won't stay in place with the flimsy (short) screws provided. Defintely a design fault. The unit itself is smart and fits nicely under a desk, but Ikea could do better with the drawer slides.2
DrawersMikiaylaaaLots of storage as I also have lots of stuff so it goes in there5
right height for DeskKimberleyRight height for desk. It would be better if have even deeper draw compartment, by reduce 1 number shallow draw?5
Not the same measurements shown online.Kiarna-LeaHappy with the overall drawers however they are not the same size as the measurements shown online. They are larger then listed which doesn’t see like a big issue until I was trying to put my desk together and the other attachment also from ikea was smaller then listed online so they didn’t match up and there is a gap at the back of my desk now when they were both supposed to be the exact same size. Not happy about that and it needs to be addressed and the correct measurements need to be shown online!3
Almost perfect for my needsGeoffI bought two of these... ✅Accurately produced ✅Quality product ✅Easy to construct ❌Let down by stupid, inadequate, stick-on feet. (Actually fell off before I tipped the unit upright ) ❓Information missing in advert is the internal dimensions of the drawers4

Alex drawer unit is a solid unit.ChrisThis drawer unit takes a while to assemble but only needs a phillips head screwdriver and a small hammer. The drawer slides are not very free running so will have to try some lubrication. With a 1.4M desk top makes a handy small desk. Next desk to assemble will have a 2M top. Looks smart in the timber finish. Overall we like the drawer and top combo.4

Material

What is particleboard?

Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
