I ordered 4 drawers sets from Michael's during a big sale. My husband was home when they arrived and he put them together. Though I was was very grateful, when I arrived I was appalled of hope horrible and cheap these drawers were. I couldn't believe people give these drawers such a big hype. My husband offered to install metal rails on them, and he added wood glue to them to make them more sturdy.
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
That's even a better deal! :)
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 :D
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 personally do not recommend the recollections version! I got it! The Recollections gives me SO many troubles! TFS!
what about the quality of it ?
I had my lil sister pick mine up this weekend..she works at Michaels, so I got 60% plus her employee discount..Great Deal!!
That's even a better deal!
I have the Alex six drawer, the instructions are very good and I recommend it.
I just want to say thank you for making this video I have been Want this for about 8 moths now
Wish I would've seen this video sooner!!
I heard about this last week too! Totally want it!! Very helpful review girl! :)
You're welcome! :) You'll love the unit.
Very helpful! Thx for sharing! Need to get one soon!
You're welcome! :)
I got the winsome five drawer, and I’m sitting here trying to put it together with the worst instructions I’ve ever encountered. I’m looking for a video on how to put it together and can’t find one 😡
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!
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.
Same just got mine today. I hate it better to pay more money for something 100 times better and order it on ikea. I was extremely upset with this buy
the dupes are horrible I had purchased them and returned them back the same day Alex drawers are supper smooth and way more space to store items .
Just ordered 2 online....i guess that changed. Great video.
Quick question are they the same length?
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!
You have 2 options to have the drawers to stay put or pulled out completely . :)
Thank you! :)
the Michaels ad will not come through :( I checked my local store and they dont carry it. Which one do u have?
The drawer should be located in the craft booking aisle. I've been to 2 stores and they carry it. You probably have to ask someone their for help.
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
really but here in toronto its cheap in michaels..here
yeah not here :(
+steffers841 aww :( thats too bad i think michaels need to just nake the prices the same since they its michaels too
totally agree so I just went to Ikea and got the Alex drawers and table top cause I also heard that the quality of the ones from Michaels are not that great.
+steffers841 Michael's sometimes has 50% off coupons valid only for regular priced items and it will beat Ikea's price. Some youtubers used it to purchase the Alex dupe and I've watched videos where they mentioned this. I live in Canada too and Michael's offers this coupon once in a while .
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 :)
Nicole Barberio It's 24 1/2 inches without wheels on the Michaels drawer.
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
would the michaels dupe be high enough to lay a top across two of them for a vanity?
Yes with the wheels on. :)
Just about to pick up an alex 9 I think xx
Where would I get the table top from if I don't get it from ikea? Don't have one near me
+Paula Cronic Michaels is where I got the other table top.
Paula Cronic lowes
whered you get all the plastic organizers for each drawer
Thrift store
The Alex drawers do you have to fix them up to the wall
Nope
will the dupe one be too short to make a vanity out of it
+-ke-ke-too woozworld No, it should be fine. By adding the wheels it will be tall enough.
Great info hun. Thanks for sharing! I may have to check this out. : ) xo
You're welcome! The unit is pretty heavy so make sure you have someone to help you out. :)
Thanks sweetie!!! Xo!
R they the same in length
I love your videos")♡
Thanks! :)
Has anybody tried out the one from Go Organize
Very very helpful
dupe = deceive; trick, a victim of deception.
Great way to describe a product.
IKEA drawer is taller though
I rather have the dope
It's pronounced reck-oh-lection not re-collection.
Lmao that's the first thing I said when she gave the brand name.
