IKEA Alex Drawer Unboxing Assembly & Review - YouTube

So this is the IKEA Alex drawer system. I'm actually kind of impressed with this.

In the process of putting together new WFH setup. Desk recommendations?

Whatever you do, for the love of a all that is Holy, do NOT go with a freaking IKEA alex combo. Please. Do a bit of shopping and you'll find some decent stuff. Even in IKEA, there are other good options.

Shipping was ridiculous!

The piece itself is fine, just how it looks. Very heavy, and I got charged $80 to get it here. Also they sent me the wrong one and it was slightly damaged in shipping. However the piece itself is nice; just what i wanted and quite sturdy.

INK STORAGE….how do y’all do it?✍🏼📦

I bought an Ikea Alex which is like an office drawer unit on wheels. And I love it a lot! It's perfect for hiding away all my ink and larger paper.

Planned to build the ikea ALEX drawer + countertop desk but have been quite desapointed : IKEA has a lot of troubles getting stocks back in France (because of covid i guess) and no more ALEX drawer can be purchased anymore here. Any other idea for black drawer to replace ALEX ones in the setup ?.

Great buy, But bad shipping cost

This took me a while to receive cause I wasn't home twice when they tried to deliver it, so make sure you watch your tracking and be home to wait for it. Mine came in a special truck to and it was the only thing in the truck he had to deliver. But after I got it really like it. The shipping is super...

Damaged

I purchased this a while ago and I was super excited for it. When it came, some of the edges were chipped away. When I put it together, all four corners at the top were chipped and you could see the brown underneath the paint. I didn't return it because I was in need of an organizer, and other than ...
