It’s odd how my top drawer is not coming all the way out like yours. How come I fix that? I notice that one metal slider comes out was compared to the other one

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there,. Thanks for watching my video and the feedback question. Yes that is odd, to possibly fix check the side boards to make sure the space between the sliders is the same on both sides. If not one of the sides may need to be turned upside down. However, that would mean taking the unit apart,😟. This may also solve the slider problem. Hopefully that helps.

[@Schlipped]

Does the table legs have to be the same height as the drawers?

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. Yes, I would recommend that the legs the same as the height of the drawer. If you are buying this unit it already comes the way, so no need to worry. Thanks again for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel 👍🏾🙂

[@mikachu021]

So, I have an alex drawer and decided to make it as what it is, the only thing is that the bottom panel (where the legs are) has the holes in it. Do you know anyway I can disassemble it?

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback question. To disassemble the unit you normally look to the sides for the connecting screws caps and undoing them that connects to the screws in the bottom/top boards. At the same time you need to pay attention to the direction on the side panels to ensure that the draws will fit properly. You may need to flip these also. Thanks again for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel 👍🏾😀

[@Luvemma07]

I have no idea what to do as I have built everything up until you add the drawers. But now I have realised that the railings don’t allow for all 5 drawers to fit and I don’t know why

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. The reason why the drawers won't fit is because you built the unit upside down. You probably need to flip the side boards around on each side so the railings with the smaller spacing is on-top, bigger on bottom. I point this out at 10:38 of my video. Also make sure the board with the holes are on the top of the drawer unit. It's a quick fix to get you back in the game. Hopefully that helps, thanks for watching and the subport to help me grow my channel 👍🏾😊

[@Luvemma07]

Ohhhh makes sense now. I’ve already drilled the board with the holes on my upside version. Not too sure how to take it out

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

@@Luvemma07 I'm not sure what you drilled.. and where you need to take something out..? Would you not just reverse what you did?

I have a question. does the alex drawers have holes on top or do you have to make them? If i order each piece by itself instead of the whole set (just to mix match some colors)

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback questions. The Alex always comes with a board with the holes. If want to make it a stand alone unit e put the board with the holes on the bottom. If you want to attach it to a tabletop you put the board with the holes on-top of the unit. I'm not sure if you can order individual pieces unless you are replacing a part. Hopefully that helps. Thanks again for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel 👍🏾😀

Hi nice vid, thanks 🙏 qq do you know if you can switch the cabinet to the other side, also is that the 120cm or 140cm size version? Thanks!

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the kind feedback. Yes you can put the drawer on the other side as there are holes under the tabletop for that attachment as well. My version is the 140cm version. Thanks again for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel👍🏾😀

Hi, thanks for the video. I’ve inserted the draws but now I can’t take them out! The rails don’t detach from the draw when its pulled out so I can’t take them out. Any suggestions? TIA

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. I would suggest that you focus on getting only one out. You may need to use focused force to rattle it free.

[@blackgoat8950]

Is it ok if I want to put the bigger drawers on the top layer instead of the small ones?

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. By design, the big drawer has to go on the bottom. They will not fit properly if you try to put them in the other way. In order to do what you are asking you have readjust the sliders eith new holes on the sides to allow the fit, this might be a little tricky 😄 Thanks again for watching and the subport to help me grow my channel👍🏾

As an 82 Some instructions were in the wrong sequence but you was lucky and didn’t have it as a I had to swap the top and bottom which in turn I had to take the stick studs off the TOP part making it useless to stick back on but I’ll get around and use glue. The other difficulty was attaching the table and I am still working hard how to work around it. There was no instruction on an easy way but you have put things back to a better way when lining up. It’s a nightmare.

The worst thing you can buy for a medium to heavy desk setup is Lagkapten tabletops ( or any other IKEA's tabletops ). Save some money and go for countertops instead. Welp, if your setup will be just a laptop and a small monitor it's fine. However, when the time's come and you want to upgrade, let's say to a pc setup with two monitors, which is pretty basic setup nowadays - as the results showed: Lagkapten will not survive and again it's better if you just wait and go for something better and not a cheap IKEA tabletop~

Great tutorial. Except when I first opened it and saw the auto screwdriver, I was scared a bit because I thought I would need one, but with a normal screwdriver and a hammer you can get this done easily. Thanks!!

Does anyone know how to detatch the drawers from the tabletop? I'm moving soon and it'll be impossible to move otherwise!!

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there thanks for watching my video and the feedback question. In my video I show how to attach the TableTop to the drawer. Basically you have to remove all the drawers, on the top of the drawers you will find several screws, those will be loosened up and or removed. Hopefully that helps, Thanks again for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel😊👍🏾

[@reneejohnson5774]

I followed the instructions and the table top holes are on the bottom. Is there another way to secure the desk without taking it apart?

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for your feedback question. Without taking the unit apart you will need to drill your own holes through the desktop and table top. Use screws that are long enough to connect both pieces. If you want to use the current screws you have to use a big enough drill bit but not to big to make the holes useless. My advice would be to quickly take the unit apart especially the side boards and flip them around. It's quicker without a lot of improvisation. Hopefully that helps.

I am thinking of getting the same desk but the 200 in dimension one (the largest one in their showroom) but I have a monitor that’s 34” curved will it fit on the desk? And is the desk width large? Cause I have the exact same one as yours 140x60 and I find it too small for my monitor and iPad and ps to be on the table. I have a lot of stuff on my table and I would like to have more space so if you guys can recommend a desk for me it’d be appreciated thx

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. You can try another Tabletop which is bigger. www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/lagkapten-tabletop-white-10508220/ desk from IKEA. It's 80x160 cm in dimension. It's a little bigger. You should get two or 4 legs depending on whether you are going to use the cabinet drawer but may need to use self tapping screws and washers to attach the unit (if use 2 leg). If You use 4 legs, can use the same cabinet drawer and just slide it under the tabletop, it's up to you to determine if you want to attach it as described above. Let me know what you think. Thanks again and subport to help me grow my channel.

I don’t understand how to attach the tabletop. I am struggling big time and even the tutorials aren’t helping

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, do you have the holes in the top of the cabinet and holes that is under the brown side of the table top? If so just like in my video you have to try and line them up. Just like in my video put a screw or a thin long end object through a hole in the cabinet first then move the table top around until the object lines up with the hole in the Tabletop. Secure the object with tape then do the same for any other hole. After you should be able to use the screw fro IKEA to attach both. Hopefully that helps. Or can you describe what you have...

[@BeKindToAnimals810]

You may need to switch your bottom and top pieces to the drawer unit. This video is the only one I've found that shows an accurate assembly. Other videos switched the top and bottom so there is nothing to screw the top to (which is fine for a freestanding drawer unit, but if you want a desktop, you do not want to make that mistake.)

HELP! The screws that attach the drawer cabinet to the desktop aren’t working. They leave about 1/2 inch hanging out that will not go all the way through. Yours went in like a piece of cake. It seems the pre drilled holes in the desktop we’re not deep enough. Should I take the screws out and pre drill the depth of the holes in the desktop a little deeper? I’ve looked at other videos and nobody addresses this issue. Is mine just a feral problem?

[@TowneBlvdTiy]

Hi there, Thanks for watching my video and the feedback. Stop!! Before you do anything please check ✔️ to make sure you are using the right screws. The correct screws should work and not leave such a gap. Please review all your screws. Try this before you do something that may ruin your purchase. Take a screw out and measure it from the outside of the unit (drawer and desktop together) to determine even if you drill the holes further if that will solve the problem and to see the actual length of the screw. Good luck😀 Thanks for watching my video and the subport to help me grow my channel 👍🏾

[@dhw5895]

Thanks for your response. IT means a lot when I get a response. That doesn’t always happen. Anyway, I took the existing screws out (they are the correct screws by the way) and checked the holes in the table top. There didn’t seem to be any more reason for the screws not to go all the way through. So, I went through heck trying to realign the holes again butbut I finally got that done. For whatever reason they went through properly this time. Go figure! The job is complete And just FYI I am a 67-year-old lady, and did it all by myself. Thank you so much for your video.
