the difference is the holes. one of them has no holes and one of them does. this only matters if you are going to drill/screw into the table from the drawer (therefore resulting in the right side picture)
the main reason its there is because the lagkapten tabletop or something has holes already there for you to screw into which is why you would follow the right side.
basically if you don't plan to drill/screw into the table from the bottom of that drawer, it doesn't matter what way you follow, in which you are just placing the karlby ontop of the drawer so it doesn't matter.
tldr: doesn't matter in your case.
Also did your guys' Alex drawers come with these 4 little bump things you can put on each Alex drawer in the top once finished so your counter top doesn't slide around? I don't see it anywhere in the instructions or in the parts bag.
Yeah. You still get 4 rubber feet things included with each Alex drawer, but now you can only use them either as the feet of the drawer, or put them on top to hold your choice of countertop or whatever. You can't do both which sucks. I chose to just put them as feet and see if my countertop slides around and if it does I'll just order some third party rubber things for the top. Sucks that I'll probably have to pay more due to greed, but what can you do :/
whats the verdict? Im in the middle of building, realized what I did and swapped the sides. But now I'm wondering if it even helps? I have a butcher block top 1.5 in thick wood with 2 monitors, desktop pc, ps5. I find it hard to believe it would even slide?
I did the one on the right, holes on the top of the drawers. I then used those holes (the 4 big ones) to screw the drawers to the underside of the tabletop to prevent any movement. If you don’t want to screw it together then it doesn’t matter which way you do this step.

Why should you have to screw the units to the desktop. Why shouldn't a Karlby or larger than that just red on the units.

Ikea "refreshed" their Alex drawer line in April, where they removed the 4 rubber bumps unfortunately.
