April 4, 2022Those using the Micke instead of the Alex drawers
I tried both the Micke and Alex at an Ikea store a few months ago. IMO the drawer slides of the Alex are much, much nicer to use than the Micke. The Micke uses wheel-type slides, while the Alex has a gliding/friction type of slide that snugs the drawers into place when closed. The Alex is also around 3 inches deeper than the Micke. If you can possibly wait until spring (when ikea plans to refresh the Alex line https://www.reddit.com/r/IKEA/comments/kfzfya/state_of_alex/ ) then I'd recommend that, but I understand it's not an option for everyone.

January 15, 2021MICKE Drawers ALEX Replacement with Feet
With the ALEX drawers discontinued in black-brown, yet an increase in the number of people wanting to make home offices, many people are looking at alternatives for use with a worktop. I’ve opted for the MICKE drawers as they are similar and also come in black-brown, however, they are designed to be used with included castors, and without them, the bottom drawer does not have enough clearance to open cleanly. My hack is to replace the castors with adjustable EKET feet, and with a couple of pilot holes drilled, they are secured into the unit using their included screws. The height of the unit without castors is 69cm, and with the EKET feet at their minimum setting, the height is raised to 70.5cm which gives the front drawer a clearance of about 15mm. At maximum, the height would be 71cm. The ADILS leg which many people use to prevent sagging in the middle of the desk is 70cm, and would probably still work just fine, however I purchased a very similar adjustable leg from a popular auction site so that if I wish to raise the desk slightly in future, I can do.

r/IKEA on Reddit: MICKE Drawers - file organizer?
December 15, 2023 -
I got a very nice MICKE drawer set. I am only confused about the bottom drawer, it has anchors with a metal frame to hold files, but it does not come with the rest of the structure where the files would actually hang. I have looked into the IKEA recommended file holders, SUMMERA, but it does not seem to come with the rest of the structure. What am I missing? I have also looked at both the manual and online assembly vids and it is intended to be that way

I'm having an issue with the MICKE desk. I followed a YouTube video along with the included instructions to make sure that I did things correctly, and looking back them and I'm pretty sure that I have. But at the very end with the desk and drawer built, I can't get the drawer to properly go into the desk.
I'm not exactly sure why either, so I wanted to see if another pair of eyes can spot what may be my problem and help me out with it.
Here are some photos and a video at the end: https://imgur.com/a/cCFGhCr
I appreciate any help, thank you.

Idk if anyone will see this, but SO and I couldn't get the drawers to go in. So we decided we were just going to lay the desk on its back and jam them in there, but turns out we didn't need to jam them in. After we laid it on its back they went right in. Hope that solves it for some people.

I just assembled this desk today myself 😅 it’s always the loose screws that cause issues, my drawer wouldn’t go in all the way either so I just unscrewed the small screws on the sides and screwed them back in again, making sure that nothing is sticking out and the drawer went right in perfectly 🙂

January 15, 2021 -
Are you happy with your setup? I recently switched jobs and we are indefinitely going to be working from home. I wanted to get the infamous Karlby and Alex drawers setup, but the Alex drawers won’t be in stock for a while.
I know the Micke drawers are pretty popular, anyone like their setup with this? How does the drawer slide feel compared to the Alex? Photos appreciated as well.
Note: I am using a very old and flimsy desk from Target and wanted to upgrade the size.

If I could make a suggestion. Instead of the Karlby check out the butcher block countertops from Home Depot. They are similar in size and shape to Ikea's but they are real wood and cheaper. Yup, real wood that's cheaper than particle https://www.homedepot.com/p/Interbuild-Acacia-6-ft-L-x-25-in-D-x-1-in-T-Butcher-Block-Countertop-in-Brown-Oil-Stain-122117/309324638 Also, if you have the money and want extra flare you can buy a live edge acacia countertop https://www.homedepot.com/p/HARDWOOD-REFLECTIONS-Acacia-6-ft-L-x-25-in-D-x-1-5-in-T-Butcher-Block-Countertop-in-Oiled-Acacia-with-Live-Edge-1525HDACA-72/307393679 As for the Alex drawers it's luck of the draw until stock improves. Just keep checking the app like I did until you get lucky lol
