Beautiful to look atAnonymous reviewerThe draws are Unfortunately not the great for us they are like sand and having to drag them open we both 2 sets and a desk and both the same we brought for our 5 year old and hes can't open them so sad really alot of money spend for them to be rubbish would bring back if they didnt take forever to pack up and down.
As describedAnonymous reviewerThere's nothing wrong with the appliance however it is a little pricey for £70 it could come with roller wheels or foot adapters to raise its height 10-18 cm
Great Anonymous reviewerEasy to assemble! And looks amazing! Thank you
Alex DrawersAnonymous reviewerI bought 2 of these & have them built up by IKEA I have them either side of my desk and they are brilliant as I am able to have what I want in them with having 10 drawers in total.
Slightly damaged from inside the packagingAnonymous reviewerThe product is nice but some parts were already chipped and don't think will last long
Outstanding designAnonymous reviewerI’ve built many flat pack items of furniture over the years, from many different stores. This unit is by far one of the easiest things to assemble and really is worth the money. You do have to be careful not to tighten bolts too much or you will make the runners stiff. Apart from that, the design is 5 star.
Nice but bad drawer slides.Anonymous reviewerEasy enough to put up. The little legs are stick-on and get loose very easily when moving, especially on carpeted floors. The drawers' glides are not smooth at all. Quite rough feeling and closing the drawer feels like sand.
Tidy little unitAnonymous reviewerTidy looking unit the only downside is the draws are stiff and don’t close properly
Nice design but poor quality and damaged on arrivalAnonymous reviewerI bought two of these units to create my own vanity setup. The unit looks really nice once assembled, but there were a few issues. Both arrived with some damage in certain areas, and the wood is quite fragile and chips very easily, which was disappointing. I also found the screws for the rail confusing to use, and one got stuck during assembly, making the process frustrating. Aside from those issues, it does look nice once put together, but I don’t feel it’s worth £70 each
Looks really good - drawers don’t pull out enoughAnonymous reviewerThe chest of drawers is great - just what i needed and looks really smart. Though it’s contemporary styling, it looks great with other furniture as it is smart and understated (I like the fact it’s got a sheen not shiny).
One very big negative and was tempted to keep it to only two stars. The drawers only pull out 2/3 of the way. This means that 15cm at the back of all drawers is inaccessible, really awkward to get to. Such a waste of space and already driving me nuts. I wanted shallow drawers, but this makes it even worse to get to the back of the drawer. Come on Ikea, this is not your usual standard of design.
PerfectAnonymous reviewerExellent
Low quality drawers railsAnonymous reviewerUnfortunately, the drawer system is not performing as expected. The runners feel excessively stiff and do not operate smoothly, making it difficult to open and close the drawers. This significantly affects the usability of the unit and does not reflect the quality I would expect from IKEA.
I have carefully assembled the product following the instructions provided, and I have checked the alignment and fittings to ensure everything is installed correctly. Despite this, the issue persists.
Given that this is a new product £70 not cheap, I would expect the drawers to operate smoothly and effortlessly. At present, they feel tight, inconsistent, and not fit for proper daily use.
Great storageAnonymous reviewerEasy to build (my teenage son did it!), great amount of storage and a staple in our house for under work desks.
Drawers don’t open properlyAnonymous reviewerYou can open half of the drawers then is very hard to open the rest and everything is inside becomes messy. Too expensive for the quality
AlexAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble smooth runners good size drawers good value for money nice item
Perfect drawer unitAnonymous reviewerInstructions easy to follow and builds up to a excellent drawer unit.
PracticalAnonymous reviewerGood design and practical.
Damage to one side of these drawersAnonymous reviewerWe bought two of these in the Exeter store on Thursday and after clearing my sewing room and repainting, hubby is putting together the Lagkapten/alex drawers and table top. Unfortunately one of the sides of the Alex drawers is damaged. I’m finding it difficult to get through to the store and we are not prepared to drive all the way back to Exeter. Fortunately we can hide this damage by positioning it against another wall, but the frustration!
Nice storage unitAnonymous reviewerNice unit with lots of storage. Drawers feel a little cheap and don’t really glide, but fair enough for the price. Made it into a desk, but had to raise the unit about 7 cm to get the perfect height
…the only drawback….Anonymous reviewerThis is a great unit but the only drawback is the picture instructions which I’m normally ok with, make sure you don’t get the top and the bottom mixed up because they look pretty identical! All good otherwise

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.
