Awesome tutorial. The other tutorial on this drawer that has 300k views has wrong information in it. Ikea has changed the parts and assembly since that video was made. For instance, in the other video they insert the cam screw before instead of after and that really messed me up. This video helped greatly.

Great tutorial man, only thing I would have added is specifying which board goes on the top and which on the bottom.

Marcus, if I understand you correctly you are asking about the step where he screwed the bottom in with the Allen key? The 6 screws? Well I just put one together last week and it’s slightly different then his instructions. IKEA made a new revision to Alex in April so yours is probably different just like the one I built on Sunday. Anyway those Allen screws are not used on the Alex itself, but used to attach it to a tabletop when using as a desk leg. That’s why step 6 in ikea instructions tell you to use the bottom as the top if using for a desk. So don’t worry. Only dowels, cams, and plastic screws for the install.
