Alex Filing Drawer Hack
Waited forever for the new Alex Drawers to come out. Was disappointed the blue grey version didn't come with a filing drawer option. Decided to make it myself. Took the bottom out of the fourth drawer down, and used a metal plate to hold the fronts together. Got two replace parts from ikea for the plastic pieces that slide over the drawer sides. They couldn't get the metal rod for some reason, which is fine, because it would have sat too high anyway. I wouldn't have been able to use tabs on my hanging file folders. There was probably a better way, but ended up using 1/8” rod and bent it so the files hang with enough room for tabs. Pretty happy with how it turned out (and how inexpensive it was to do).

Alex Drawer File Size?
This confused me at first too. You're trying to put your files in wrong. You want to place the metal rods in the holes along the top of the drawer to allow for hanging your files. Like this: http://i.imgur.com/Ex0QkX3.jpg More on reddit.com

Alex file cabinet on carpet

I had an extra chair mat. I arranged it so the ALEX was on the mat when the drawer was both open and closed - the back edge of the Alex was flush with one edge of the mat. That works just fine.

July 4, 2021 - I wanted the file cabinet Alex drawers too but because of supply issues it just wasn't happening. So I got the regular drawers like you too and now I can still have my file drawers :). I actually think this method is better than buying the file version... You get a bigger middle drawer and can still fit your 8.5x11 files in the bottom after the mod. This is all around awesome. ...

r/IKEA on Reddit: What files did you buy for your Alex Filing Cabinet?
September 11, 2021 -

I feel so dumb but I'm having a hard time finding files that fit in the Alex filing cabinet I just got.

I got a standard letter size that was too big for the smallest arrangement of the poles and too small for the step up from that.

If you have an Alex unit, can you share the files you bought that fit? Links are very much appreciated. :] Thank you!

-------

ps: I do know that the files are supposed to be arranged vertically and not horizontally.

r/IKEA on Reddit: Alex Drawer File Size?
April 12, 2016 -

Very confused here! I bought the Alex desk set and brought home some file folders from my office. The drawers are so narrow, standard letter manila folders don't even fit in there! An 8.5x11 sheet of paper will just barely fit.

What size folders are people using and where did you get them?
