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.”

The foldable construction allows you to mount the frame in the correct space from the beginning, avoiding heavy lifting to move the piece of furniture once it´s assembled.
The frame is mounted upright and from the front, so you manage with less floor space and lower ceiling height when you put together your wardrobe.
Comes with two different fittings so that you can attach it securely to the wall with or without a skirting board in between the frame and the wall.
You can always bring the frame with you when you move or pass it on to someone else, since it’s so easy to assemble, disassemble and reassemble.
The robust and sturdy construction makes it possible to disassemble and move the wardrobe in your home home or to a new home.
Just follow the simple instructions to disassemble your PAX wardrobe frame in a secure way, to make sure that it will come to use for even longer.
If you want to organise inside you can complement with interior organisers from the KOMPLEMENT series.
Perfect where space is limited since the frame is narrow.
Adjustable feet make it possible to compensate any irregularities in the floor.

Reviews
Poor QualityAnonymous reviewerThe supporting legs rip the chipboard if moved when installing and the plastic foil wrap the units are coated in is very flimsy .... disappointing considering the cost of the PAX product range
Good value for moneyAnonymous reviewerSo pleased with these wardrobes. Very easy to put together and with the different door designs they can elevate any room.
AssemblyAnonymous reviewerThe design does not provide enough rigidity when assembling and lacks stiffness. This can result in collapse
Great wardrobeAnonymous reviewerI’ve bought countless pax wardrobes over the years because the quality is decent, they are easy to assemble & dismantle if moving.
I love that you can design the hanging & storage layout to your own liking.
The only criticism is that the back of the wardrobe is flimsy & needs nailing on, a hardwood backing or at least a couple of supports across the back would make it sturdier.
Awful qualityAnonymous reviewerNo idea why everyone raves about PAX on instagram. The quality is awful, cheap, brittle chip board. The back board is so flimsy. Awful. Not worth the money at all.
Building the productAnonymous reviewerIt is easier to build the frame with each side vertical with the front of the frame on tbe floor as it is not structurally safe to move until the back is nailed on. This way there is no need to move the frame until it is complete. I ruined a frame because I followed the instructions and had to buy a new one. Otherwise the frame is perfect and looks amazing with my mirror doors.
FittingAnonymous reviewerHad to go in a small alcove and fitted lovely
Once assembled looks greatAnonymous reviewerTwo stars deducted for the length of time it took to construct this. I understand there’s a new design that’s simple to erect. Wish we’d received the 2024 version. Ours was still the old 2023 model even though it’s 2025.
Does the jobAnonymous reviewerThere not made of MFC Melamine faced chipboard but more of a paper like finished board, so easier damaged.
But they do the job and seem to last.
Ikea perfect productAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble a perfect product for my space. Also great Coustomer service. And you can also talk to a person
Great wardrobe with 0 year guaranteeAnonymous reviewerSolid nice product
ExcellentAnonymous reviewerMore room than I had thought
Pax WardrobeAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble, good quality and looks stylish
Perfect storageAnonymous reviewerEasy to build
WardrobeAnonymous reviewerSlightly disappointed. I gave previously bought the 50cm wide with a solid back. So assumed, the 100cm to be the same. No, just a stupid thin bit of ply wood. Recommend buying 2 50cm wide and fixing together.
Wardrobe, just what I needed easy to buildAnonymous reviewerWardrobe,just what I needed easy to assemble
So straight forward.Anonymous reviewerFollow the instructions, check each piece is there including the screws etc and you shouldn’t have a problem. I am a pensioner and myself and Granddaughter (16) built this, including the doors in just over two hours using no power tools.
Adjustable legs are not suitableAnonymous reviewerThese are really good wardrobe/cupboard frames, but there is a flaw. The adjustable legs at the front are held by an inserted nut that you put in by belting with a hammer - into MDF! Once the leg is screwed in, this acts as a lever and the nut pulls out very easily. On a set of 3 units (6 legs) four legs have fallen out and can't be put back in.
Also because there is no adjustment at the back of the unit the floor needs to be made perfectly level to avoid rocking. If you put it on carpet the legs dig in and do not have enough adjustment to level the units. Make sure to put something solid like a piece of wood under the legs.
Finally there is no covering for the pull-in nuts that are ubiquitous on Ikea furniture so unly you cover it with a shelf you can see them
Pax wardrobe sliding doorsAnonymous reviewerI bought a pax wardrobe with sliding doors. We added features, lights glass shelf, organisers and it’s lovely. Doors are smooth wardrobe is organised. I used the planner and then checked then by using planning service in store. Very happy with my purchase
Fell apartAnonymous reviewerHave raised a complaint as it is too big and heavy to build the way the booklet tells you too and the whole thing collapsed.
It broke all the fixings and damaged our floor

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.
