Love the storage but have an issue....EmmiIs there any way to remove the drawers easily after it is built? Something fell down from a drawer in the back and now I cannot close the bottom drawer. The drawers don't seem to have a release to make them easy to take out.
A must have for any officeJoelleI have already bought three of these, there’s no other way that I can organize all my paperwork without this drawer unit. It’s sturdy, well-made and very functional.
Just the Right Number of DrawersBlaineThis 5-drawer cabinet has sufficient storage for my office. Would have been nice if it was the same height as the Galant office cabinets I also purchased for my office.
Awesome!KristaGreat product!
Stunning! Once put together;)PamelaTook a total of 6 hours. It’s stunning once built! We did need to back track and take apart - You MUST pay attention to every detail in the photos and double check even when you think you’ have it right. Make certain the track on the sides is the right way before u begin. It’s deceptive.
BEFORE putting in the top drawer, fasten the desk to the top, first. The instructions do not specify, you need a good eye and I’m sure if u build often from ikea you’ll have a better chance of getting it on the first run! Complex part - getting the drawers on the tracks. The track pulls out making it easier to attach the drawers. I figured that out when I was left with 12 screws at the end lol - took some fiddling to understand where they go and how to use them.
Even though the build was tedious and time consuming- final product worth it! It’s stunning!!
No problems putting this togetherAngieI bought 2 of these drawer units and the Lagkapten table top to make my desk. These items combined went together fairly easily. It took me a couple of hours to put everything together by myself. I reviewed the assembly instructions and found a You Tube video which helped. I used a cordless screwdriver for the many screws used for both drawer units which saved some time. The hardest part was attaching the table top to the cabinets because there are only drill holes on the bottom part of the table top which must match up to the drill holes on the drawer units. After some patience and moving the table top a little at a time, I had success screwing together the table top to the drawers. All of the drawers slide with no issue but are a little stiff and I am hoping with time and use they will become smoother.
nice storage unitSamthis is a good solution for all your office misc supplies like pens, paper clips, etc. it easily fits a 15" laptop so you can store it when not in use. the drawer inserts make it easy to store all the small stuff.
Drawer unit for deskDaleSuper easy to put together! A little heavy.
StrurdyKosarVery sturdy, we’ve been having few of this for a long time
Don't botherOliviaI've come to expect poor quality control and strange design choices from IKEA, but this piece is probably the worst thing I've ever bought from them. The fact that I was able to assemble it at all is the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one. The little rubber feet that go on the bottom are stuck one with adhesive and they come off very easily. Good luck getting them back on if that happens. The drawer rails come pre-attached to the inner sides of the file cabinet. Every single drawer on my unit is crooked and they're not crooked in the same way, so they all rub against each other. The baffling design of these rails also means that you need to individually pull them out and try to align them properly in order to put the screws in for the top drawer. I also had paint covering holes and a crack in one of the pieces for a drawer. I paid $130 for this, but I would say it's more like a $30 value.
FragileLiwenI have to say I'm disappointed with this product. It came with four small feets for the bottom, one of them broke during assembly, another two broke when I push the item to a different location that is .5 meter away. The stickers part is still on the bottom of the shelf so I cannot stick them back on. I ordered replacement parts but I highly doubt the the replacements would hold. For now, I took the last one off as well, and put on TRIXIG floor protector. Overall this is a very disappointed purchase and I definitely do not recommend unless you plan on using the wheel from the beginning.
Great little set of drawersCamI bought this to make into my vanity. I had a little alcove spot in my walk in closet that I needed a custom vanity and I wanted it to match the colour of my pax wardrobe. It’s perfect. The drawers are super deep and a lot of them. Fits my hair tools and all my makeup with no issues. Great buy and super cheap too!
Good design, materials not so good, customer service poorCasdaI like the design. Unfortunately, the materials they use seem to have gotten more cheap and flimsy.
I purchased a bunch of items last spring. Two of the items had issues. The rest were great.
This Alex item was already damaged when I opened the box. After many back and forth emails about it, I was asked to send photos, and then did a video chat with one of their reps who took their own photos. After taking up a lot of my time, they simply didn't follow up and have not responded to my emails.
I will say that they were good in dealing with the other item. I assembled the shoe storage rack and about a week later one of the screws had already ripped out of the particle board form normal use. In this case, they refunded me as the shoe storage rack was not usable.
I understand that inexpensive means lower quality, but the items should be functional and undamaged. And unfortunately I can't take a chance and order from ikea if I can't trust that they will stand behind their products.
Good sizeCarollMakes a great storage for things
poor qualitySatinderthe drawer rails broke really quick and they dont provide spare rails
StorageGiovannaEasy to put together and plenty of storage.
Poor quality controlKatieThis is the first time I have been disappointed with an Ikea product - it is obvious they have cut corners for manufacturing as I have never had to force pieces together on Ikea furniture the way I had to with this product. Second, the guides for some of the drawers are not lined up properly, so the spacing between drawers is inconsistent. One of the drawers actually knocks on the one above it when being closed.
Three sides of the drawers are covered in a white plastic sheeting, rather than paint or laminate - it feels cheap and is not as durable.
I hope this is a one-off and Ikea doesn't become a trend for Ikea.
Crafters choice!Janetamazing for sorting and organizing my many craft items.
Good drawersSusanHave these as bedside tables and extra storage drawers in my office. After assembling at least 5 of these I finally can assemble in no time!
Excellent Drawer SetSandraThe drawers need have screws removed if you want to take them out.
