ALEX drawer unit, white, 141/8x271/2" - IKEA (2024)

Great Set of DrawersGregI bought 2 sets of these drawers, they have a lot of room to fit everything that I needed! 5

Looks nice, but very poor quality controlJoeI got a pair of these in white.On plus side I like the aesthetic.But unfortunately that's it for pros2 corners had dings (unrelated to shipping)basically part of the outer casing's coming offOne piece (left side,small drawer) had 2holes drilled in wrong spot.So now waiting for replacement.On the other, 1 drawer doesnt sit flush on rails-it touches one below. I followed instructions so it's not due to assembly. I didn't bother contacting support on this as I don't feel like dealing with the hassle, but now have to live with misaligned drawersI just looked at another piece of the drawer I can't finish assembling and noticed another defect--front piece wasnt bored out to edge so bottom part won't sit flush,so I'll have to get my jigsaw to fixThese boil down to poor QC.The drawer prob is a blatant miss that shouldve been caughtI expected more for $100.We own a bunch of Ikea stuff--over the years the quality has gone downhill. Sadly these might be our last Ikea furniture2

I love it.Kathyits great in my craft room.5

Alex makes me happyAstridGreat product, assembles well (everything lines up). Great product - especially the many shallow drawers which keep things better organized than a few deep drawers.5

Issue with DrawersMelanieI like everything about this piece (have had it for 7+ years) except for the fact that I cannot remove a drawer entirely. There does not seem to be a way to pull out the drawers completely in order to grab items that have fallen behind the drawers; or in order to remove the drawers in an effort to make the whole piece much lighter for moving from room-to-room or to a new residence. If anyone has figured out how to remove the drawers after assembly, please let me know. TIA!4

Easy, sturdy, practicalLoriEasy to put together. Took me maybe 1 hour 15 mins. Looks good, works well. 5

Drawers worked however not consistentNikkiDrawers worked however not consistent some drawers don't line up exactly3

Love these drawers. Fairly easyRuthLove these drawers. Fairly easy to assemble however it would be a bit easier if parts were numbered on this one. Some of the pieces had to be scrutinized to determine which ones to use. 3 sizes of the same type of screw piece all appear to be the same if not carefully scrutinized.5

Great drawers JodyVery sturdy and the drawers slide easy. Instructions were easy to follow (still managed to out it together upside down, but my fault but the instructions). 5

Maybe it’s just meNiraThe desk was heavy so I thought it would be a good quality. It wasn’t had a lot of chips in some pieces. It also slides with desktop on. I guess I need non slip pads on or something 2

AlexJenAs anticipated. Have others, works great. Easy to assemble. 5

No thank youTonyNo thank you4

Good for the price KayceeThe drawers are nice and I like how their is a small gap to open and close.4

Deceptively adequateBrittnayI bought this to safely store sketchbooks, watercolor, bristol, and canvas paper pads, and cradled wood panels. As I was assembling it (very easy to do) I was concerned that it wouldn’t be enough storage space, but I was wrong. Despite it’s small footprint, the drawers are deeper than I expected, so I have room to grow. It’s sturdy enough for what I’m using it for, and, when assembled, doesn’t weigh a ton. I am really fond of this piece. It stores everything I use so that, at a glance, I know what surface/media I have on hand. 5

Great CabinetKarenI bought the desk that has 2 Alex cabinets and it’s perfect for my office!5

Goes together like a dream.NancyI’m in my mid 70’s and female - this Alex unit (I bought 4 total) went together like a dream. And yes, I put it together completely by myself.5

Too heavy/bigTianaI wanted something to go next to my vanity and it was way too big. 1

Best Desk everMichaelWorth every penny. 5

DrawersAlondraThey look great easy to wipe clean if needed and sturdy5

Great PurchaseGigiAssembly was a breeze, drawers are solid. Tons of space and they are esthetically pleasing. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. 5
