Reviews
Drawers do not run smoothlyAnonymous reviewerThis desk looks sturdy and provides good worktop and storage space. However, the drawers are stiff to open and close and do not run smoothly. I am not looking forward to struggling with them every day from now on. Disappointing!

Alex deskAnonymous reviewerLove this desk with two drawers one either side. The drawers are just the right size and depth and they fit perfectly. They were so easy to build. I like that you can have table legs on another set of drawers quite adaptable for young teens.

great deskAnonymous reviewerthis desk was so easy to build and looks great! really happy with it. it feels very solid once built
Make up deskAnonymous reviewerI bought this for my daughter as she was having her bedroom redecorated and wanted a make up desk like her older sister. Her older sister had had hers for over 2 years and still looks as good as new even when it’s been moved a few times so I knew this was a good choice
SolidAnonymous reviewerMy son loves his new desk. It’s solid got lots of drawers and spacious on the top to put his laptop and papers on.
Lovely work tableAnonymous reviewerGreat combination for a work desk. Second time purchasing. Previous one is used as a dressing table. Great storage, solidly built. But did mis read the instructions again. You need to put the desk top fitting earlier in the instruction manual as I put the base tops the wrong way round. You’ll understand if you read them. But all in all a great unit and value for money.
White deskAnonymous reviewerGreat purchase, just what my daughter was looking for, easy to put together slightly on the heavy side but lovely piece if furniture.
Good for a desk or dressing tableAnonymous reviewerMy family has already got 3 of these so I ordered one for myself to use as a desk. Very happy
Lining up the top harder than it should be.Anonymous reviewerAlex drawers are fiddly, but, if done methodically and carefully, are fine.
Fitting the top is harder than it needs to be. If IKEA added two dowel holes to the Alex drawer unit (already has multiple drilled holes for fitting castors), with matching aligned holes on the table top (already has multiple holes for different leg combinations), table top and Alex could all be aligned more easily.
The solution we used was aligning half of the screw holes in each Alex unit with the top using screwdrivers, fitting two screws, removing the screwdrivers then adding the final screws. All while the desk is upside down.
A couple of dowels and holes in each Alex unit would ease this alignment problem.
Easy and quick deliveryAnonymous reviewerFrom beginning to end, easy and quick delivery. Very helpful and polite delivery man. Products all packaged well. Make sure you read all manual first when assembling as you need to refer back to certain points, easy to assemble. Very pleased with purchases.

What is constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fibreboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
