How it works

  1. Open the designer with the IKEA ALEX size filled in, and check it against your own drawer.
  2. Drag in bins, draw your own, or type what goes in and let Draweroo plan it.
  3. Download the files. The baseplate is split to fit your printer bed, with seams on grid lines.

Questions

How big is the inside of a IKEA ALEX drawer?

About 292 × 524 mm. Depth from IKEA's product page (52 cm inside). Width and height measured by The Workspace Hero: 29.2 × 52.4 cm inside, side walls 5.6 cm high on the shallow drawers and 11.7 cm on the deep ones.

How many Gridfinity squares fit in a IKEA ALEX drawer?

6 × 12 squares of 42 mm, with 19.5 mm left over on each side and 9.5 mm at the front and back. Draweroo turns that leftover space into a solid rim, so the baseplate sits tight.

Do I need to measure my drawer?

Yes, please check. Furniture changes over the years and between countries. Measure the inside with a tape, or use "Measure with a photo" in the designer.
