It just takes a flick through a photo album to see that some of the clothes we used to love might make us wonder 'what was I thinking?' today. And as the way we dress has changed over the years, so too has our approach to making storage at IKEA. That's why we've designed PAX/KOMPLEMENT clothes and shoes storage to adapt to how you would like to store your things, rather than trying to fit your clothes and accessories into an unsuitable space. An idea that's shaped its whole development.

ColourAnonymous reviewerMore green than grey-beige
Poorly made, low qualityAnonymous reviewerEveryone wants good quality at an affordable price, but this doesn’t even come close to reasonable. The quality of these wardrobes is genuinely shocking, they start to fall apart in your hands during assembly. Even the slightest knock leaves scratches and dents.
It’s frustrating because you expect something at least usable, but this feels flimsy and poorly made from the start. Save your money and invest in something sturdier and more reliable, you’ll thank yourself in the long run.
Poor quality - FlimsyAnonymous reviewerWish i had read the comments first. This wardrobe cannot hold its on weight, it fractured during assembly straight away. everything is just weak, i had to add 8x L shaped brackets internally to stop it from crushing under its on weight. The backboard is flimsy too and just keeps moving in and out even though its been nailed down.
The addon doors are shocking, if you breathe near it the paint comes off, again they cant hold there own weight they flex like a tissue if you dont pick it up the right way. recommend at leaste 6 people per door when lifting.
Big big regret. i have a table coming from ikea and just considering to cancel the order at this rate.
Amazing !!!Anonymous reviewerCouldn't be any easier!! Seriously, built two by myself in no time at all, built 236cm high with 1.5cm clearance, such an ingenious design they are built upright, just amazing.
Terrible qualityAnonymous reviewerUse to love the pax wardrobe system but the new screw less system is terrible. Just hope you don’t have to move the wardrobe because it doesn’t stay together very well and the laminate and chip board split easily. The old system of attaching the back board last was much better because the frame was locked together. This all joined system only takes a slight knock and the back board breaks away. Disappointed.
Solid optionAnonymous reviewerPerfect alternative to custom built in wardrobes.
Just what I neededAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble. Clear instructions.
FlimsyAnonymous reviewerWas so flimsy. Backboard came away from. Returned.
EasyAnonymous reviewerSuper easy to assemble and beautiful colour 10/10
Great wardrobe with 0 year guaranteeAnonymous reviewerSolid nice product
Not all colours options are the same constructionAnonymous reviewerI've installed a few of these now, overall they are good quality. However, it is worth noting that the different colours are of different quality. If we take a 100x58x201cm carcass and look at the listed package weights we get the following:
39.38kg Grey Beige
48.66kg Dark Grey
50.17kg White
50.11kg Oak
This translates to the grey beige appearing to be a different construction to the other colours. When cutting one of these to go over a sloped floor I found the grey beige unit side panels were an "egg box" construction. They were made of 2 hardboard panels with 3 verticle particle board strips where the shelf holes are. This didnt seem to be the case for the dark grey units and points to a cost reduction exercise in the manufacturing process.
The grey beige also has the rear panel bonded to the sides so you just unfold it rather than pinning the back panel on. The final difference is the position of the wall fixings which are much higher on the grey beige compared to other colours
Excellent productAnonymous reviewerGreat product quality and looks good
QUALITY BUILD WARDROBEAnonymous reviewerThe easiest wardrobe build ever. Simplicity personified. Excellent design.
Easy peasey!Anonymous reviewerGreat instructions. Easy to assemble. Good product!
Pax wardrobes Anonymous reviewerReally happy
Flat pack wardrobeAnonymous reviewerEasy enough to assemble. I do wish IKEA coordinated their colour palette between ranges (Kalkax, PAX etc)
Manucturing tolerances are just about acceptable.
Wardrobe frames Anonymous reviewerOmg there are no words how easy these were to fit they fold no banging the back on or fixing together the sides they come folded .. genius !!! Only really need to fix the bottom and the top !! Beautiful frames shame tho they don’t have more choice furniture in this colour is only criticism love it
Very happy and sturdyAnonymous reviewerRecently bought these wardrobes which were fitted by Taskrabbit and very happy with appearance and quality
Perfect Wardrobe Anonymous reviewerI purchased this wardrobe to fit in a gap behind a door in one of our rooms, it has been boxed in so looks like a fitted wardrobe. The colour is perfect so no need to paint. Delivery was quick and easy with great service. Great value for money!
Value for moneyAnonymous reviewerAs expected, easy to put together and sturdy!

Story
Because one size doesn't fit all
Have a little look around — not too obviously, just a peek. Chances are, even if it's just different coloured socks or another colour of scarf, there's no one dressing exactly the same as you right now.
Which is why it stands to reason that our clothes storage shouldn't be exactly the same either. It's this idea that led us to develop the PAX/KOMPLEMENT clothes and shoes storage. Designed so that no matter your passion, fashion or personality, your clothes and accessories will have a practical home.
The evolution of storage
The only similarity is difference
“Most people dream of having an organised wardrobe where they can see all their clothes and accessories. But that's where the similarities end", says Betina Tviis Larsson who developed the PAX/KOMPLEMENT system. Traditional storage often shoehorns you into doing things a set way, whether its folding t-shirts or sorting out a sock drawer – something Betina wanted PAX/KOMPLEMENT to step away from. "We didn't want to say there's a right way or wrong way to keep your clothes. If you want to hang your jeans by their belt loops we want you to be able to do it”, Betina says.
Multiple personality order
To get the design process off on the right foot, the design team focused on what kinds of storage do different people need. "We started by speaking to a lot different people in the team and around IKEA", Betina explains. "To try and determine different personalities and different needs. And what we ending up with was this big inventory of preferences and types of things that needed to be stored". By designing around personalities, the team started to develop types of storage that would fit collectors and families just as easily as minimalists and people with very little space. "The whole idea that defined the project became, don't change your personality, change your wardrobe instead", Betina says.
Fitting in function
Bringing this research together, the result is a series of interior organisers that can be adapted for particular uses, from multipurpose drawers and hangers, to specific features for everything from shoes, to trousers, to jewellery. The idea is that each organiser can be mixed or repeated as you choose, so if you want to store your whole sneaker collection inside, or have everything hanging, you can. "I really like to use space in a good way", Betina says. "With this system you can tailor your one wardrobe frame into hundreds of combinations." So whether you're a 'super organiser' or a 'piler' type of clothes person we hope you'll be able to match your storage to suit your style.
Material
What is particleboard?
Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
Function solution
Customise it to your style and build it to your space.
With the PAX wardrobe system you can build a storage solution that suits you, your clothes and your room. Combine interiors with frames in different heights, widths and finishes - and choose hinged doors or sliding doors in a style you like.
