Important Drawer Compatibility & Accessibility Information
Spool Height: The IKEA ALEX 5-drawer unit has different drawer depths. Serger cones and king spools are suitable only for the bottom three drawers. Please verify your spool height and available drawer clearance before ordering. Remember to account for the additional 0.375" height of the wooden tray.
Drawer Accessibility: IKEA ALEX drawers do not extend completely, which may make the last few rows of thread harder to reach. You may need to remove the trays to access spools stored toward the back. We include these rows to maximize your available storage space.
Natural Wood Characteristics: Our trays are made from wood, which may contain natural grain variations, small knots, or minor imperfections. We carefully select our materials, but these natural characteristics do not affect the trays' intended function.
Less Searching. More Stitching!
An organized thread collection makes every sewing and embroidery project more enjoyable. Give your favorite thread spools a dedicated home and transform your IKEA ALEX drawers into a customized thread storage system.
