Quality has gone downYaelI have two other items from this series (the tall drawer unit and a cabinet) and the quality used to be great. Now it seems like this is literally made out of paper. Easily dented, and I doubt it will survive a move. Such a shame because I used to love Ikea furniture but now they're trending towards unacceptably low quality.
Overpriced but attractive Anonymous reviewerLuckily I am only using this to store paper for my cricut. The unit is made from particleboard. It is heavy due the amount of parts. It will serve its purpose but I doubt if it would hold up for any other purpose. It did go together in under an hour and all holes were drilled correctly. All fasteners were in the box.
Perfect storage for boxed 1/64 scale diecastBrianThis is absolutely perfect for my diecast collection. Stores boxed 1/64 scale neatly
Repeat buyerKimberlyI love this drawer unit. It’s great for art supplies. I have one in my home office and just bought another for my art studio.
Easy to put together and sturdy.
Better than the tall one SamLove this. Again had to buy because of social media. Works well, great size drawers. Smooth running drawers. Fits a lot of Stuff. Little less convenient to access due to low height ie I have to bend down to use but other than that, love it
Very easy to assemble and functionalMarkThis is a very functional unit. I use it to store art supplies as.
Works GreatWilliamBought this and it did not disappoint. Very easy assembly and all of the holes lined up. Took about an hour to assemble with the longest part putting the drawers together
Stylish storage ThereseI purchased this as the last IKEA item for my sewing/beading/crafting room. It fits perfectly underneath the Skogsta table that holds my sewing machines. It’s roomy enough to hold all the things I want at my fingertips.
AlexMaryI love these drawer sets, so many uses. We bought this to use in our bathroom to separate all medicines and supplies. Fits right under the bottom hanging closet.
My only issue is the are too expensive.
ALEXAnonymous reviewerPerfect size for my art supplies. Went to together fairly easily. However one of the holes for a dowl was not drilled all the way and it broke the corner of the drawer face. Getting a new drawer face was way more difficult than it needs to be. IKEA should have replacement drawer faces on hand as this is not an isolated issue
Exactly what I neededAn-ChianThis unit was exactly what I needed to organize my crafting supplies!
Great Sewing StorageLauraThis cabinet fit under my sewing table and quilt frame. I can store all of my threads and sewing notions in this cabinet. I love it so much, I purchased two of them!
Great cabinetCarolEasy to assemble in short order. The unit is neat, streamlined and holds what I need it to hold for my sewing needs.
Solid LisaPerfect for my space
How about full depth drawer glides??RichardShallow drawers waste space.the end 3 inches are useless. Things get lost back there. It's a choice. I would much prefer too see and have perfect access to what I put into the drawer. I know fully opening drawers hardware is more expensive. Like lots more, and I give up about an inch in width. Seeing instantly what I have there is worth a lot to me. In fact, for me it adds about $125 plus some more labor on my part. Widening the top, back, and bottom plus 6 pr of full extension glides is worth it to be able to use ALL of a drawers surface. I get the design purity of filling the case , but if asked I suspect the user/customer cares nothing about that purity and would prefer full vision of drawer contents to unseen design purity.
DisappointedSallyI have 3 white Alex Drawer storage carts in my sewing room and love them. Would give them 5 stars for sturdiness, ease of putting together and looks. That being said I wanted another in black for somewhere else in my house. For the drawers themselves, only the face is black, three sides and bottom inserts are all white. I ordered black, so I don't appreciate that the insides will be visiblely white that you will be able to see due to the cut outs for opening and when opened. I have never ordered from anywhere where the drawer insides don't match the rest of the piece.
ALEX Drawer unit on casters, white, 26 3/8x26 "CarolThe size of this drawer unit is perfect for my office. The drawers comfortably hold my rulers for quilting and the top is perfect for my pressing station.
Please include inside-drawer width measurement!DavidWell, it is a fine set of drawers, BUT we were surprised that our 24" tablet of paper does not fit, because the inside drawer width is 23 5/8". This very important measurement is not included in the description.
Alex drawer DebbieIt secured the purpose
A Total Letdown for Art StorageAustinI purchased the ALEX unit specifically to store my flat artworks—nothing heavier than some stacks of paper. Shockingly, it failed within just a few months. The drawer bottoms collapsed under minimal weight, and the screws began to disintegrate the flimsy particleboard. Out of six drawers, two are now completely unusable and beyond repair. For a product marketed as functional and durable, this performance is unacceptable. I expected far better quality from IKEA, and this experience has been nothing short of infuriating.

Material
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.
