Important Drawer Compatibility Information
Top Three Drawers: The top three IKEA ALEX drawers are shallower than the bottom three. Based on our experience, only Robison-Anton and Simplicity Pro thread spools appear to fit in these drawers while allowing them to close properly.
When checking spool height, add 0.375" to your spool's height to account for the wooden tray. Please measure your thread spools before ordering, or contact us if you need help determining compatibility.
Drawer Access: IKEA ALEX drawers do not extend completely, which can make the last few rows of thread difficult to reach without removing the trays. We include these rows to maximize available thread storage space.
Natural Wood Characteristics: Because our organizers are made from wood, natural grain variations, small knots, and minor imperfections may occur. We carefully select our materials, but these natural characteristics do not affect the trays' intended function.

I think the thread could sit deeper in the units, they fall over if you open the drawer a little too fast. I do like the concept.
It is everything I wanted! All my Isacord threads in one place. My custom thread trays fit perfect.
These trays are perfect for storing thread in the drawers of the Alex cabinet! They are spaces just right so you can see colors to find the one you want! The quality is so good!
