Benny began brainstorming solutions with his colleagues: what if the sides already were attached to the back when the wardrobe is delivered – so it can be mounted upright and in the right place from the beginning. The team’s solution was an innovative hinge which makes it possible to put the pieces together in the production. “Once home, you open your wardrobe like a book and click everything in place. The beauty is that you just as easily can click the frame apart if you have to move the wardrobe.”

Why limited colour range????????Anonymous reviewerWe bought the deeper tall pax units but now require the narrow 35 depth units, however, you do not offer these in grey-beige. Why produce a range with only some of the products in a colour? No one has been able to confirm whether Ikea plan to release the pax tall but shallow units in grey-beige.
Easy to assemble and looks goodAnonymous reviewerThese wardrobes are assembled in the vertical position which in my opinion make it so much easier the sides are joined together with the back panels and just pull out like a concertina it took me 20 minutes to assemble minus the doors, good instructions easy to follow and very happy with the wardrobes
I bought 2 , one was ok but the second one the holes on the top part didn't line upAnonymous reviewerAll was good until building the 2nd one , putting the top on the one side hole didn't line up with the screw , very frustrating as we live quite a distance from my nearest Ikea , had them delivered to my local Tesco . Had to put it together with that screw missing as it was too inconvenient to try to replace the part

Great Anonymous reviewerGreat wardrobe. Challenging to fit but with Family card able to get replacement for item which damaged during assembly - very happy!
Really good quality Anonymous reviewerMost expensive item I have bought from ikea well worth every penny.
Super wardrobe!Anonymous reviewerThis is an incredible piece of furniture. It looks amazing in my bedroom (purchased all mirrored doors) and was fairly easy to assemble. I live alone so assembled it myself in about 2hrs thanks to my electric screwdriver (with coffee breaks)! It is very heavy to move, though, and thankfully I didn't have to move it far - definitely assemble it in the room you want it to go into. But that weight is also represented in the sturdiness of the finished product. I didn't even have to attach it to the wall as I'd feared (I rent, so wasn't sure if be allowed to attach it to the wall). Overall I'm incredibly impressed and will be buying more in the future! Thanks IKEA!
TerribleAnonymous reviewerThe side panels were thin and wobbly during assembly, while wardrobe collapsed, split and fell apart whilst being lifted into position. Waste of £65 and a waste of £35 accessories and £40 delivery. DO NOT BUY

Story
Unfold your PAX wardrobe
Sometimes it can actually be OK to eavesdrop. One of our most experienced innovators overheard some colleagues talking about how tricky it can be to assemble a PAX wardrobe. It immediately triggered his creativity. How do you make it easier and faster to assemble?
“It was above all one problem with our earlier version of the PAX frame,” says Benny Andersson, a long-time technician at IKEA. “Assembling it upright was way too complicated. But assembling it and then placing it upright demanded a ceiling height higher than the wardrobe, which not everyone has.”
Open it like a book
Quick assembly with the right instructions
With the new construction, Benny and the team managed to halve the assembly time for one PAX frame. But they were still not satisfied. “We are specialists within our field, and it was valuable to bring in colleagues with different backgrounds to help out with the assembly tests. It made it possible to improve the assembly instructions further and reduce the time even more.” So, what started with an eavesdropping Benny ended with a PAX frame that can be assembled both faster and simpler. “To succeed with a project like this, all team members have to challenge and motivate each other. Our mission is to work in headwinds, and just like on a football pitch, everyone contributes to the end result.”
Function solution
The difficult art of simplifying
We like it simple but are happy to take on difficult tasks. That’s how we made it easier to assemble PAX wardrobe. The foldable construction allows you to mount the frame directly where you want it to avoid having to move the assembled furniture – and you add the sliding doors step by step, without heavy lifting and without problems. The storage solution is also easy to disassemble and reassemble, so you can bring it when moving and benefit from your PAX even longer.
