This helped a lot. Great information showing the length and depth of these units. Pictures can only do so much, but seeing actual tangible items in the drawers, helps with the perspective of how deep or shallow they are. Thank you!

This was so helpful! I had not noticed the wide one with castors was so much shorter. And I love that bottom drawer combination idea!! Thanks for sharing!

This was really helpful! Thank you for showing how you use these drawers! I was specifically looking for one for my sewing items--your video is great!

Had to rewatch this multiple times cos I was so distracted by your gorgeous pupper ❤️❤️❤️

Thought it worthwhile to mention that IKEA's kitchen countertops (such as the KARLBY or the BARKABODA) are a more sturdy but more expensive table top for these type of desks - I've built two so far and they work wonderfully, love the Alex drawers. Thanks for the great video as well as the quick reference of the dimensions on your site!

I’m setting up my new crafting space and will be using the Alex line so this was very helpful, thank you! Combining those 2 drawers?? Wow, that’s a great hack!

I wanted to get the wide shorter drawers then I wanted the alexwith the file cabinet but now I might stick to getting the 9 drawers and using the bracket hack for the bottom two drawers to I have more space and I have a filing drawer. Thanks so mich

Do you happen to have the interior dimensions of the drawers? Wondering if they fit an 18"x24" size paper.

I also use Alex drawers and love them. I didn't know about the compartmentalized inserts which I'm going to look into to. And Hershey really wanted to be part of your video!

Great vid, thanks. My wife will love these!

[gregorymoore]

To be clear, any of the Alex drawer sets are available with or without casters. I believe the casters are also available for purchase separately. I'm surprised the wider drawers you got are shorter than the narrower drawers. I used the turquoise-green variant in my desk setup. I think they are some of the nicest drawers I've ever owned.

Your video was very helpful. Just one question, please tell me the names of the parts you used to fix the last two drawers together so that they can be used. Thank you.

Can you link the green cutting matt that was onto of the caster unit by the sewing machine, please?

[chrystalhowell]

With the 2 Alex drawers and the lemon table top how do you keep it from moving do you use mounting brackets if so which ones please putting mine together this weekend

Love my Ikea alex drawers on castors!!!

[LaserHighway]

I got these second hand with no screws keeping the drawer on the rails. Could you provide the screw specifications so I can buy some? Cheers

[karenj]

Where did you get the measuring mat to fit on top of the unit with casters?

[nicky]

Is there a way to make the Alex drawers higher?

[davidschneider]

We went to buy these drawers, but the fact that the drawers don’t open all the way stopped us. For as much as they cost the drawers should have full extension sliders.
