IKEA Alex Ergonomic High-Rise Feet
This is a custom-designed riser foot for the IKEA Alex drawer units.
I designed this because I own both the older Alex unit (plug feet) and the newer version (stick-on feet) and needed a unified solution to raise my desk height.
📏 Ergonomics
I used AI to calculate the optimal ergonomic desk height for a person between 180cm and 190cm tall. These feet raise the unit to exactly that "sweet spot" for comfortable sitting and typing.
✨ Design & Cleanliness
Unlike common "top risers" (spacers that go between the drawer and the tabletop), these feet go on the bottom.
Less Dust: Top risers create a gap that collects dust and is annoying to wipe. These lift the whole unit, making it easy to sweep or vacuum underneath.
Stability: This design is significantly more stable and durable than other options I found on Printables and Thingiverse.
Aesthetics: Designed to look integrated and clean.
⚙ Assembly & Hardware
You will need to screw these into the bottom of the Alex unit for maximum stability.
Screw Type: [ INSERT SCREW TYPE/SIZE HERE BEFORE PUBLISHING ]
Quantity: You can use 3 screws per foot, which is enough for normal use. However, using 4 screws creates a very durable, heavy-duty connection.
