r/makeuporganization on Reddit: Vanity Tables from ikea
October 20, 2025 -
Hey guys, I really want to buy a new vanity desk. I am planning to make a DIY desk from ikea. I already have 2 Alex drawers, so I’m debating whether I should get a table top with glass ontop shown in the first pic or if I should get the komplement set from ikea which is shown on the 2nd pic. My only concern is that I don’t know if it will be assturdy as the first option because I am still in college and I usually do my assignments on my desk. I’m doing a DIY desk from ikea cuz ya girl is on a budget and I need to find cheaper mirrors as well! But yeah, I feel like getting a new desk would compliment my room a lot better. This is going to be my first time owning a vanity desk so I also wanna know which would be cuter. By the way, these pics are from Pinterest!

I basically have #1 and after 3 years of use I can tell you that #2 would drive you insane. Just the opening and closing of that drawer in the middle on a daily basis will make you want to kill it with fire pretty quickly.

The 2nd one with the glass storage top part has much less legroom and the glass will be easier to see dirt/scratches on but imoooo its cuter and id sacrifice that lol. Do those mirrors come with them? The first one looks like much better lighting.

Is it sturdy enough? I wonder if it breaks when you put heavy items on it. Says 8kg is the max limit. Ive seen posts on Tiktok where they even put a hollywood mirror on it. More on reddit.com

July 3, 2025Ikea makeup vanity question.. I got the alex drawers with the linnmon top, I wanted to get a glass top for it but ikea doesn’t sell any for this. Any suggestions on where to get it? Glass bs plexiglass?
If you’re in the US, a Home Depot or Lowe’s can cut either glass or plexiglass to spec. It is expensive and you need a way to get the piece home afterward.
I went to WayFair and other home goods sites to look for glass table tops of similar size as well. I still haven’t purchased one. Would also welcome ideas.

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: IKEA Alex Vanity Hack
July 3, 2025 -
I’ve been seeing this IKEA Alex vanity hack all over TikTok but nobody is actually telling how to build it. It’s the one where you buy 2 Alex drawers, a komplement pullout tray and a komplement glass top. I have did some research and was only able to find an old video about it but they had subheadings for the instructions. It’s hard to know where to measure and where to drill holes from that video so if anyone knows how to build this please share it here.
