IKEA ALEX Drawer Unit Dimensions
Complete dimensions for all IKEA ALEX Drawer Unit sizes — assembled measurements, flat-pack box dimensions, and weight.
Will your ALEX fit?
Will an ALEX fit through a door?
Easily. The ALEX is only 36 cm (14⅛") wide and at most 58 cm (22⅞") deep, so it clears any standard 32" door trivially in every orientation — even the tall 116 cm (45⅝") unit carried upright.
Check with calculatorWill an ALEX fit in my car?
Yes — ALEX ships flat-packed. The tall 9-drawer box is about 47" long but only ~5" thick, so it lays flat in most SUVs and hatchbacks and slides through a sedan trunk pass-through.

IKEA ALEX dimensions
The desk-height ALEX drawer unit is 36 × 58 × 70 cm (about 14.1 × 22.9 × 27.5 inches). The tall 9-drawer ALEX is 36 × 48 × 116 cm (about 14.1 × 18.9 × 45.6 inches).
ALEX under a desk
Because the desk-height ALEX is 70 cm (27.5 in) tall, it slides under most desks, which typically have a 73–75 cm (29 in) clearance. The 36 cm (14 in) width leaves room for legs alongside it.
