Good inexpensive drawers, cheap hardwareJasenI got these for under my desk. Assembly was easy and the drawer slides came already preinstalled which made things easier. That said, it's obvious that the slides are super cheap. One of my slides, the top one that gets used the most, vibrates as you open/close the drawer and it's extremely annoying. Definitely not the QC I was expecting here. The instructions don't list the part number so you can't easily just order another one and standard drawer slides won't fit. I was planning on putting one of these on the other side of my desk but I'll likely go with something else and get rid of this one in the long run. Otherwise, it works well.
Really bad assembly instructions and plastic non reusable screws (#119251)ReinierThe installation instructions are horrible, it tries to combine assembly instructions for 3 different versions of the Alex Desk (no wheels, with wheels, and with legs) into one instruction booklet and confuses people.
The illustration on page 8 and 9 caused me to get confused because it doesnt have any written text and it shows multiple ways to put the top and bottom panel so the first time that I assembled the Alex after I had everything already assembled and I tried to insert the drawers I noticed that the drawers didnt fit correctly (it turns out that I assembled it upside down and the drawers would only fit while they were upside down) so I had to dissemble the top and bottom panels (removing the non reusable plastic screws #119251) and finally the drawers all fit in correctly but then I noticed that I had left over screws (#110907) and none of the pages in the instructions booklet show those screws until page 21 but in page 10 it shows something else for that panel.
Piece of JunkStefAlex side panels both came in with smashed corners and unfortunately I need it to support the other end of my desk. Quality has gone down significantly. And I'd have to drive it back an hour to exchange it. I could have bought second hand in better condition.

These units are great!SuziI put it near my sewing station to hold frequently used tools!
Alex Drawer unitTammyThis was my second purchase to make a desk. It was super easy to put together and works like a charm!
Easy to put togetherNikkiMy 14 yr old daughter put this together herself! Tons of storage
Terrible quality HelenaI bought several pieces of furniture from Ikea over the years, and this was the worst in quality! It broke while assembling.
Part of drawer misaligned BrianFairly good quality. However a part of my drawer came with a misaligned screw hole.
Alex UnitPaulineI've built so many of these over time. This one though has a drawer that will not stayed screwed in so hard to open and shut. Most of these are great. Just one bad drawer.

Lookin GoodCharleneArrived quickly, easy to put together. Looks great! Added a custom wood top for a makeup vanity and it looks amazing!
Super Easy and Spacious KeisharaThese drawers are a lot deeper than I was expecting. It only took me about an hr for each install but that’s with distractions. My only complaint is a part being damaged on the last one. But I was still able to use it without an issue. Definitely want to get more.
PerfectJodyThese came perfect and easy to it together. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Classic IkeaPeterIt's a classic for a reason, I bought one of these after seeing a bunch of people online use them for years, and they work great. The design is sturdy, and the drawers slide easily, and are of a good size to hold a wide variety of items. I wish they came in more colours.
Drawer unitAmandaPerfect for what we were looking for. Good quality and very happy with purchase.
Drawer unitDeanNice drawer unit but time consuming to assemble, especially if doing two for the desk.
Drawer unitRobertaEasy to assemble. Drawers work great. Very pleased.
Simple but functional storage solutionRoslynUse this in a space below my vanity. I love how deep the drawers are. I can store so much in this unit and have regained my counter space.

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.
