Thank You! I’m 70 and the written instructions were a little confusing (plus my vision isn’t what it used to be). Your video was so easy to follow. I put together two units and am very pleased with myself 😊

This was such a clearly communicated set of directions for the IKEA ALEX drawers. Touché.

Thank you so much for this instructional video! I didn’t even need the instructions paper and managed to assemble two for my desk. I cannot thank you enough

To anyone who checked the comments before starting, I recommend starting with the drawers themselves first rather than the entire unit. It makes things a lot easier and you can check and make sure that the fat drawers actually fit on the side your doing it. If you're like me after you build the first one your going to turn off the audio and listen to something else while building and just watch the video when needed in which case, I don't know how I did it, but I flipped the ends by accident and it made it so that the drawers did not all fit, so I had to undo the top and the bottom and flip them. Building the drawers will save you a lot of time by allowing you to check first and then continue on

The first screws were actually screwed on ? I’m having trouble making them go in

Best tutorial out there. It took me 3 hours 😂but I simply paused and rewatched. Thank you so much.

Dude this was awesome as other vids seem to have older model and this is exactly what I got today (in black). Super easy to follow. Thank you!

I am so glad I came across your video. This has helped me immensely as the instructions were a disaster from the get go LOL first step told me to add these things with a straight line across (don’t know the name) but into these holes when it wasn’t even supposed to go in until later on and I barely got them out but managed then I was able to put the Alex desk together properly thanks to you! You saved me so much time. I would have probably been on the floor for who knows how many additional hours. Thank you so much. If anyone I know ever gets this desk I will 1000% refer them to this video!!!

This was one of the most informative videos I’ve seen! It made building my two Alex drawers a breeze, thank you!

I bought the LAGKAPTEN / ALEX desk and this guide helped me so much! Thank you <3

[suobrien]

Thank you! Built this all by myself. Feeling powerful 😂😅😂

[eternalnocturnal]

Thank you so so much for this! Second time I’m using one of your videos to build my drawers (1st one was the 9 unit ) you are so good I didn’t even need the instructions🥰

[sheilabostic]

Thank you so much for this video. I literally put it together with you. They should pay you sir. God bless!!!!

[shuklarajat]

Thank you! I had kept something in the lowest drawer. The damn package stood-up as the upper drawer was closed. This made it impossible to close the upper drawer, and the lower drawer was stuck! This video has helped me know how to take out the drawers and sort this mess up. Thanks!

[cynthiapapigatuk]

Thanks so much this video really helped a lot especially with how confusing the instructions were before I decided to find a video tutorial lol

bro i fucked up so hard when u said “im building it this way so im doing it like this if u doing it for something else build it like this” now my drawers are upside down.

Edit: Don’t put the Bottom legs on where he’s putting his on if ur using urs for a desk. that’s where i fkd up

[hashtagselfie]

I didn’t know these drawers we’re gonna be so hard to assemble. I bought them cuz they looked so simple

[VickyLatorreArt]

Is there anything we can do to make the door to open the whole way instead of stopping half way? I know this is probably to avoid the unit from falling forward but I am placing a desk top on top of two of these units with some heavy items on top. Thank you.
