Anyone seen something like this in the UK? The Ikea original doesn’t come in black over here, so annoying.
will the dupe one be too short to make a vanity out of it
Where would I get the table top from if I don’t get it from ikea? Don’t have one near me
not the same the size is different
I personally do not recommend the recollections version! I got it! The Recollections gives me SO many troubles! TFS!
Quick question are they the same length?
Very helpful! Thx for sharing! Need to get one soon!
would the michaels dupe be high enough to lay a top across two of them for a vanity?
I want to make sure people watching this now read this…. I got this and it’s HORRIBLE. It’s so rough to open and close and the wood is total shit, comes apart so fast…. put together with plastic pieces that are even more awful. I do not recommend these.
IKEA drawer is taller though
What is the height of the michaels one with out the wheel? I was not sure if the 26.3 in your comments of the video is an accurate measurement with out the wheels! Let me know 🙂
I got mines today and although it was exhausting to built, the screws that come with it are awful to the point where i had to buy wood glue to make it stick better, other than that it’s perfect!
I just want to say thank you for making this video I have been Want this for about 8 moths now
Has anybody tried out the one from Go Organize
Could you tell me how deep the drawers on the Alex are? As in how tall of items can be placed in it? Both the smaller top drawers and the bigger bottom ones? Thanks a lot!
the Michaels ad will not come through 🙁 I checked my local store and they dont carry it. Which one do u have?
I heard about this last week too! Totally want it!! Very helpful review girl! 🙂
Just about to pick up an alex 9 I think xx
Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner!!
I got my Alex dupe when the second day of the sale !! 🙂 happy with it!! For only 35 can’t beat it.. I just wish I had one big drawer but other then that its amazing 😀
I love your videos”)♡
I got the recollections 5 drawer unit today and i love it! I use it to store my nail polishes, and the only thing I have a problem with is the sliding out part because polishes are heavy to its kind of annoying but the storage part is great and I love the look of it. I got mine from Michaels and it was 50% off so I paid only $45
Just ordered 2 online….i guess that changed. Great video.
Hey! I was wondering if the drawers of the Michaels Recollection one stops eventually when you pull it out, or would the whole thing just be easily pulled out? Thank you!
whered you get all the plastic organizers for each drawer
I rather have the dope
It’s pronounced reck-oh-lection not re-collection.
Great ideas:)))
R they the same in length
Very very helpful
So it’s not s dupe then.. Because a “dupe” is a duplicate. Nothing something that looks kind of like something else but all the specs are completely different
In Canada these drawers from Michaels are $119 each :*( I just went to try to find one and it is cheaper to spend $80 on an Alex drawer from Ikea, and my nearest Ikea is 3 hours north
I had my lil sister pick mine up this weekend..she works at Michaels, so I got 60% plus her employee discount..Great Deal!!
I just unboxed my Alex, there was a missing screw, I give it 2 stars.
The Alex drawers do you have to fix them up to the wall
Great info hun. Thanks for sharing! I may have to check this out. : ) xo
