Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
What size is the IKEA ALEX Drawer Unit carry object?
Use the desk-height drawer-unit box: about 30×23×5 inches. IKEA flat-pack products are usually assembled inside the room, so the box is what has to clear the path.
- 02
Is vehicle fit harder than a normal doorway?
Usually yes. Vehicle fit depends on the hatch, trunk pass-through, and cargo length, not only the floor size.
- 03
Should I use package dimensions or assembled dimensions?
Use package dimensions when you are bringing home a new IKEA item. Use assembled dimensions only if the product is already built and cannot be disassembled.
- 04
How accurate are these measurements?
These are ItemFits retail research figures based on IKEA published dimensions and the existing IKEA dimensions catalog. Package sizes can vary by color, article, and market, so measure your actual box and run the live checker.
