Product Details

Important Drawer Compatibility & Accessibility Information

Spool Height: The IKEA ALEX 5-drawer unit has different drawer depths. Serger cones and king spools are suitable only for the bottom three drawers. Please verify your spool height and available drawer clearance before ordering. Remember to account for the additional 0.375" height of the wooden tray.

Drawer Accessibility: IKEA ALEX drawers do not extend completely, which may make the last few rows of thread harder to reach. You may need to remove the trays to access spools stored toward the back. Laser Bee Studio includes these rows to maximize your available storage space.
