Drawer unit for deskKimikoUtilitarian design that provides plenty of storage for a work desk.
Functional, classic piece with lots of storageBethI've owned this before in white. Purchased two in black/brown to go under a desktop. While they are heavy, and sort of scream "IKEA", you can't beat the functionality and the hidden storage makes the workspace area look so much less cluttered. I find assembly went better when I watched a video prior to using the booklet, even though some of the hardware and instructions have changed slightly since the video.
NightstandCarolynBought as a nightstand for my daughter’s dorm. Is there a piece I can place on top it’s just a little short it’s a great piece and assembly got easier by the 4th we bought several
great drawersDiegofew years ago got these for my sons room with larger lagkapten and now they no longer have them lucky i have an old trotten desk so i put it on top of these drawers and looks great!
Atrocious quality materials and poor precisionAidanI bought this because the reviews were very good but the materials, cuts and fit are unbelievably low quality. The pull / push is not smooth (no wheels or bearings) and the cuts were too sloppy for the fittings to be precise. Multiple holes were drilled too wide for the screw to bite properly so the rails are just loose. I've previously replaced entire kitchens, toilets and framed my own closets so I don't think I'm completely un-handy. Some of the corners were also damaged while in transit. I know IKEA will say "we are sorry, you can get a replacement" but it's a little late for that when it's all put together and we live an hour away.
Can’t fit letter size files or file folders in the box drawer. Toni5 star if folders fit. Currently should be a one star. Letter size paper and folders do not fit.
Suggestions please
Beautiful drawer setJaneseBeautiful and will house my painting supplies. Bought 2 with the long table top on top. Looks great and will make a nice craft/painting/seeing area.
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.
Drawers provide excellent storage for deskStaceyDrawers provide excellent storage for desk, drawers open and close smoothly
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.
Love itYeimilyLove it
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.

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.
