Ratings and reviews
Had It put together in 90 minutes and I'm no expertKathleenFollow the instructions and you're good to go! I bought 2 for my sewing room and now everything is organised and labelled. Hardest part was getting it off th shelf, into the cart and then into the car. The boxes are 75 lbs each!! No one to help me at either junction. Ikea gets a fail on that point. I don't have time to go looking around for people to help. Prob would have bought 4 but I was exhausted after that. Don't expect any help on their end or pack it into 2 liftable boxes per unit.
Good drawerBokyungIt's easy to organize in a drawer and feels good every time you open and close it.
Office drawersElaineVery sturdy product. Easy to build. Holds all my office supplies.
Broken after a weekVernieThe drawers came in broken after 1 week of use. I don't know if i can replace them and can i still return them since they were assembled and used?
Alex 9 drawer is perfectLindagreat unit; going to buy another; easy to assemble
Poor material QualityKinVery poor material Quality
Agree with other negative reviewsMarie-PierI am having issue with the screws provided to fasten the railing to the drawers. The screws either don’t hold in place such that the railing is loose, or they won’t go all the way in and then prevent the drawer from closing smoothly. Very frustrating, IKEA used to be way better than this.
Very useful MarinaVery useful for my son to put his books inside
New version is very poor quality. Please avoid!StephanieI've bought Ikea items for decades now and have never had a problem building or using their items. There's another negative review for this item and I experienced the same problems! When trying to put the rails/drawers in, the screws were not strong enough, resulting in a drawer falling out and crashing to my floor, damaging it and the unit. Considering another person had this issue, it feels like we received defective products. The quality of the finish is horrible as well, very cheap and nothing like items I've purchased in the past. I feel like I've wasted my money since they don't take back defective products. If this is how Ikea products are now I will no longer be purchasing furniture from them :(
Great quality and very easy to assembleAndreaI loved the ease of assembly. I purchased 2 for my room and although I am an older lady and I still managed to put them together. The quality of these items were consistent in both and I was quite surprised by the workmanship on them.
Tedious but worth itGauthierI bought one for craft supplies and it was tedious to put together because of all the pieces for all the drawers. Easy once you get started unless you struggle with ikea basics! Bought another one for my office because it is so useful!
sides blew out, won't closeJuliabought this Alex drawer about a month ago and it really hasn't impressed me, everything that can break has broken and the rails won't stay on, the screws provided don't hold and the material of the drawers are low quality, if you purchase this drawer be prepared for blowouts and disappointment
Easy to assemble LindaEasy to assemble, great size, very practical
PerfectDebraWell built, sturdy, lots of storage space.
Alex 9 drawer storage tower Mary AnnExcellent product. Put it together mainly by myself, with a bit of assistance for the larger carcass. Works great and consolidates all of my small sewing storage
Good AbdelrezakGood
This must be one of their most popular products!SandraI've seen this unit used in many people's homes around the world when watching YouTube. I think the various screws, dowels, and pre-drilled holes used to assemble the unit is very interesting. I just wish the price was a little cheaper given it's made of particle board. Other than that it's very useful.
Easy to assembleAnnetteThis dressers depth is not the same as rhe five drawer. It does fit nicely in the room
Great unit but has its qualms AlexandriaGreat drawer unit. I used mine for makeup, skincare and school supplies and found it super intuitive and perfect for organization - so much so that I bought two!
My main issue with this unit is that the bottoms of the drawers are very cheap and flimsy, you can't add anything with too much heft into the drawers without it bending inwards. I have had issues in the past where the bottom of the drawer completely falls out or is misaligned, even with the joints tightened. Wood glue is perfect for this situation but something I wish could be circumvented.
The bottoms of the drawers also sustain water damage horribly. As mentioned, I used my drawers for skincare and sometimes some of the product would leak and make a permanent pucker in the bottoms. I genuinely wish the would add some more structure and longevity to the bottoms of the drawers to make this an even better unit.
Drawers can be hard to openDebbieIt is a good unit - just be careful not to drop the drawer when inserting it - they are not very strong and can chip easy

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.
