Reviews
Awful build qualityAnonymous reviewerKitchen, Bedroom, lounge all kitted out with Ikea, the MALM and PAX range are fantastic. Unfortunately ALEX comes with many issues, the surface coating/veneer was covered in glue, the edges/ corners didn't have gapping and the matt flat surface had tiny missing sections that looked like someone had hit it on a corner somewhere. Not impressed. Returned £350 worth. Return was easy and fast
Good qualityAnonymous reviewerEasy to put together and good quality
Looks lovely, easy assembly but grey scratches easilyAnonymous reviewerHappy with the unit overall, just be careful as the finish is easily scratched. I built this on my own (3 in total) and it took me 30-45mins per one (I’m not experienced). I would recommend this, just be mindful of its finish being delicate.
Looks the part..Anonymous reviewerJust the right dimensions- easy to assemble, looks great in light oak and it was a breeze to click and collect from the Sheffield store. Top marks!
Good quality, and works great to support my desktop.Anonymous reviewerWorks well to support my desktop. Holds far more than expected.
Nice office cupboard Anonymous reviewerEasy to assemble. Took some playing to get the door to align. The little feet are stuck on with sticky tape and fall off when you move it on carpet, but they are not really necessary so I took them off. Looks great with my Alex drawers and desk top.
GreatAnonymous reviewerReally easy to put together, wasn’t time consuming
Good quality, good size and well finished.Anonymous reviewerAlthough well finished, having used the cupboard for a while I would suggest the opening door slot be placed higher up the door, more inline with your hand when seated at the desk.
Exactly what I needed Anonymous reviewerI got this to form a new desk for computer. Its deceptively roomy and holds all my computing wires and paper etc. Really easy to put together
Great cabinet for computer deskAnonymous reviewerMy son made his own computer desk with 2 of these, they are good quality and look great
Buying more ALEXAnonymous reviewerFitting out a home office with desk, drawers and cupboard . ALEX was easy to build and looks great. I'm buying more ALEX immediately.
PerfectAnonymous reviewerWould highly recommend, I have bought 4 of these. They are so deep and hold so much. And as always with IKEA, so easy to put together
Perfect cupboard for Desk UseAnonymous reviewerSpacious cupboard used for one side of a Desk, Alex drawers used for the other side. Perfect for this use and very sturdy.
Smashing Cupboard....just the jobAnonymous reviewerWe bought this cupboard and very pleased with this lovely little cupboard when built....
Easy to build and nice to do whilst having a cup of tea, very simple...
Very versatile for my multipurpose craft roomAnonymous reviewerUse this range of furniture in my craft room. Looks very neat. I can store everything from my sewing machines and paraphernalia to my painting pads, paper and paint.
Great compact storageAnonymous reviewerThis unit is perfect for the intended space. Deep and narrow. Really easy to install.
alex cupboardAnonymous reviewerexactly what i needed for home office
Great unit, easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerReally easy to assemble. Looks good quality product in my sons bedroom.
Great under the tableAnonymous reviewerWe bought one of these as a way to house my husbands computer unit. It's worked really well. All 4 sides are solid so cutting the back to allow a bit more depth and additional ventilation to prevent overheating was a bit tricky but not unmanageable. For the first time ever, one of the raw plugs were missing ( we have never had this in the 7 years that we have used ikea) but managed to find a spare in the shed
Overall it provided a great substitute for a table leg that looked great
Good QualityAnonymous reviewerA very good quality unit, easy to put together. A useful parting the Alex range.
