Can anyone help me with the name of this, presumably, long since discontinued ikea item? Bonus points if you can tell me how I can get hold of one!

Is it the Alex? It might not be, might just be very similar as the one I'm thinking about is still for sale.

Fairly sure it was part of the EFFECTIV range (Work IKEA)

Was in the range about 2005 onwards

Not sure when discontinued tho but would have been replaced with GALANT.

I've just been on the ikea site (should've done that before posting an answer) and the Alex stuff is very similar but not the same. Sorry. Hope you find the one you're after.

I shall ask my contacts and get back to you!

Is it just two of these Alex drawers stacked on top of each other?

@StarUtopia ... thanks for this... that would be great!

Yes, it's very similar to the Alex but I want one where the drawers come out completely... the Alex is on runners which stop them coming out I think.

Thanks for looking folks!

@Blibbler no it's not... it's one single unit with 8 narrow drawers in the top third and then the bottom 2/3rds each have 4 larger drawers. It's made of plywood with a white laminate front on the drawers. I have a photo of the label underneath if that would help but I'm just struggling to find it anywhere

Here's the label

@StarUtopia .... just wondering if any of your contacts did get back to you? No doubt they have a million better things to do though!

@HotGlueGun it was from their STURE range and yes, it's discontinued...

@Shmithecat2 thank you so much! Hopefully I can track one down second hand now I have the name
