Moderately Easy to AssembleRaymondI am an intermediate level IKEA assembler. I unboxed Alex's parts as soon as he arrived on my doorstep, because he was quite heavy in his box; but it took a few days to get around to assembling him. The directions were fairly clear, except for a few places where they covered Alex's three variants: Just Alex; Alex with casters; and Alex with an added desktop (I had opted for the casters). Because Alex is a chest of drawers there were many panels and a multitude of little parts. I recommend sorting the little parts out into small bowels or boxes and counting them carefully against the list. I had thought I was short one important barrel lock, but it turned up in a different box from the others. I am pleased with Alex and recommend him to anyone who uses their computer on a table lacking drawer space.5
Lots of storageKarenDirections were not clear and I ended up building it upside down, so my dawers pointed down instead of up. Also I purchased it based on photos thinking it would fit under the desk, I had to remove the wheels for it to fit.4
Well designed and moves around great!AnthonyEasy to assemble the door has to be installed loose then tightened once the door clearance is found but was very easy to assemble.5
Very functional and not bad lookingArlisIt’s exactly what we needed and exactly as described.5
Easy to assemble, sturdyMarciCabinet holds heavy sewing equipment inside and wheels around wood floor like a dream. Heavier construction than Alex drawer cabinets, and easier to assemble.5
Awful quality not functionalJudyBesides taking forever to assemble, the drawer track slider system is garbage. You're given a tiny screw that doesn't stay put and the drawers come off the track constantly and do not open/close. Not worth the effort at all, it's going in the trash as soon as I purchase something else.1
Alex drawer unitLisaExactly what I was looking for. Great fit for office. Perfect size and plenty of drawer storage.5
Poor quality, wood splitBrittnyI purchased the IKEA Alex unit after driving an hour each way to pick it up. At the store, the employee wouldn't even help me load it into my car, which was disappointing. When I assembled it the same day, the wood split during assembly, even though I followed the instructions. I contacted customer service, and the only solution they offered was for me to drive another hour each way to return it. There was no alternative or accommodation for the defective product. The quality was far below what I expected. You're better off spending a little more on a higher-quality piece of furniture that will last. Lesson learned—I won't be shopping at IKEA again. Truly a waste of time.1
Improved!! AmandaI had gotten these in the past, about at least three others and there was always this issue with the drawer backs not aligning into the grooves on the sides. I always had to hammer that down to fit. They placed these notches on the bottom slide to allow the drawer back to fit much better now!! Its better than before!! Kudos Ikea! 5
Side TableJeanUsing my cabinet as a side table for my sofa. This allows me a place to put my important items I use on a regular basis.5
Good storageDeborahEasy to put together. Compliments the desk and drawers that we have.5
Use this everyday and it’s greatJoseWell the instructions really should be improved since some steps are confusing. Once built it’s good and excellent when paired to a desk top.4
A Crafter's Must-HaveElizabethLove the possibilities with this great looking organizational piece!! I am using for craft supplies but also for other hobbies like sewing and scrapbooking, or for office supplies, jewelry/accessories or clothing! They look great in my home...so I bought two of them!5
Easy to assembleCherylI purchased this for my sewing thread. It is perfect!5
what we neededYafaeasy to assemble, great quality. so glad for the casters option.5

Alex is more than an office itemGinaIkea please have your designers show how to use ikea furniture to create a a really cool craft room in the store displays with the Alex line.5
Significant quality declineNikitaThe one I bought in 2016 still holds sturdy. The one I bought in 2025 is different in materials of drawers. They are flimsy. It can be bearable. The deal breaker are sliders. They are not smooth and took effort to close the drawer. Also edges of drawers became sharper which makes the unit less "friendly". It's not 1-star product, more about 3, I put 1 star to raise awarness of manufacturer. Ikea also charge for delivery no matter what order amount which is uncommon practice in current market. Their charge is on a very high end.1
Perfect under a deskFranceI bought two then i got a top. The drawer are deep enough for everything . My husband had to watch a utube video on how to mount it because they were some part that he did not where it belong. Typical of Ikea instructions5
Plastic fasteners breakAshleyThey provided plastic fasteners instead of metal for a lot of the screws and they break extremely easily. If you're going to cheap out and give us crappy plastic at least put extras in so we have replacements when they inevitably break. What's odd is the drawers come with the metal fasteners so clearly you're aware of the need for better quality materials.2
