Reviews
Alex DeskEricExcellent for a desk or console table. The flip up section along the back is great for hiding power cables and a small power strip. Note: The area isn’t as deep as it looks. Tall power blocks may stick up too high from the power strip tk still be able to close the cover.
Feels sturdy and solid. The drawer rails were difficult to install. They were very tight and needed a lot of work to get placed in the correct position on the drawer sides.
The assembIyVivianThe Desk is really nice, and I like the style. The assembly was good until we got to the back hinges for the cable storage. It is awful. if we can get it done. We are still trying to get the hinges to lock in place. We are thinking of returning both items that were purchased. The desk and the side table. Awful. For the amount of money spent - there has to be an easier way for those hinges.
Enjoy this deskJodiMy husband and I both really like this desk. Plenty of workspace and the large drawers for easy reach of items.
So far so goodLeeIt took me about 2 hours to assemble this desk.
It’s strong and sturdy.
My 6 year old son uses all the time from drawing to homework & etc.
So far so good.
Nice but pain to assemble.VasiaBought the blue. Looks great! Only downside it took over two hours to assemble! Could’ve been easier with pre-assembly of the drawer metal pieces.
Black paint chips off at the edge that touches you shirtHong AnhThis desk is not worth the money. The edge towards my torso/stomach where the shirt naturally touches the desk edge because I have to work at the desk is white now...the black paint just chips off there and where my mouse is located and moved.
Sewing deskLizGreat! Love having electrical outlet in the desk.
Perfect for my needs!DenaI absolutely love this desk. The drawers were a little difficult to line up with the holes to install, but they are great. It's exactly what I wanted. I especially like the surface material and the place to hide cords in the back. I give this a top rating!
Excellent use if spaceAnonymous reviewerPerfect for a sneaker looking desk. Not bulky yet functional and attractive
Desk ReviewBetteSee below. We had Task rabbit put it together and he was great.
Terrible Desk Top Quality- Paint Scratches very easily with anything (even fingernails)KimiaI bought this desk over a year ago so unfortunately I am not able to return, but for it being only just over a year old, it has terrible desk-top quality. For the price of the desk you would imagine the surface would be better quality. I have been very gentle using it, and only use laptops, keyboards, and a mouse on it but now it looks very ugly. I have to throw the desk away since the surface looks so bad, and there aren't even any parts available to replace it! I would have to purchase paint from Ikea which I can't trust to fix the issue. It was a really disappointing desk purchase and I would not recommend to anyone.
Alex is AwesomeTammyThis desk is sleek and attractive. Easy to assemble. Love the cord management. Both drawers are good size.
I LOVE this deskJeannetteBeautiful and functional. I had Task Rabbit assemble it.
Ikea and my grandson make a great team!RaymondMy grandson was persuaded to assemble my Alex desk; it took him an hour or two under my watchful eye. (It would have taken half the time if I had kept my eyes closed.) It's beautiful, it's sturdy, it's functional. I have a few wooden pegs left.
Nice and sleek but not much to itRachelMy 15 year old wanted this it’s nice and sleek two big drawers a hidden area to put a surge protector she loves it got task rabbit to put it together. It’s a very nice sleek desk.
love this deskNigelnew aptartment living, downsized and this desk was just the right fit for our spare room Functional and practical for all my needs
Perfect Desk for meSharonThe desk top is large enough for my desktop computer with space for essential item. and a folder or two. The spacious drawers don't take up too much space so the printer fits well under the desk and can conveniently brought forward when needed. The drawers move smoothly and don't have handles sticking out that can get in the way.
Solid Product OzemGreat by and great product.
Love the new desk RobinI saw the desk put together in the store with other office furniture and saw that it met my needs. That greatly helped with my decision process. Plus it was on sale. Timing is everything! I got lucky.
Perfect size deskAnonymous reviewerDesk is easy to assemble, good quality and very functional with 2 drawers

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.
