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.”

Reviews
Key Instruction After AssembledAnonymous reviewerAs always IKEA instructions step through. This unit specifies that it should be assembled on the floor. BUT after assembly there is a warning that the ceiling height needs to be much higher to allow for righting the unit into vertical position. All makes sense when you read it, but the warning comes after it’s been built! Very disappointing, should have been on Page 1 or front cover to make sure you are aware that building on the floor will cause issues.
HorrificAnonymous reviewerDo not bother - bought these years back and were fine - these have utterly fallen to pieces with every screw that went in, it’s compressed cardboard and utterly horrific quality. customer service don’t care spent hours and they basically said it’s not their problem.
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
Just rightAnonymous reviewerBought two wardrobes to fit ourselves. Excellent
Versatility at it's bestAnonymous reviewerOne of the things Ikea does really well is cabinets that offer lots of versatility. I was decorating my powder room and needed to build cabinet for my vacuum, ironing board, laundry basket etc. All the options I found weren't quite right or were quite expensive. And then I had the thought of using Pax unit. I was able to trim it down to size with my circular saw, as it was a little too deep for the space. But once I did that it was perfect. It now looks built-in and has given me all the space I needed in that room. I had always heard great things about Pax wardrobe system and this experience has convinced me to buy one for my bedroom when the time comes for me to decorate in there. High recommended.
Good quality and easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerGood quality and easy to assemble
Easy to build - looks fabAnonymous reviewerDidn’t take too long to build and they look fab now that are completed . Exactly what we wanted.
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
Easy peasyAnonymous reviewerAs ever, IKEA products just fit as they should. So easy to assemble and right first time.
Plinths - poor qualityAnonymous reviewerPlinth on the wardrobe had real poor quality wrap on it - now adhered to the panel below and 1mm short at the end s the wood was showing.

Easy to assemble Anonymous reviewerGood space saver, lot of storage
It’s ok for what it is, it’ll look much better if it was made of thicker wood boards
Clearer instructions Please Anonymous reviewerFirstly this instruction sheet should advise you that there are 2 different assembly methods . This want clear and by the time we realised , we struggled to lift it up and the whole thing disintegrated. This is now unusable and in the skip .
Very disappointed
Perfect furniture to complete the roomAnonymous reviewerPurchased to complete a dressing room/ walk in wardrobe Perfect for this
Easy to assemble
Pax WardrobeAnonymous reviewerThe wardrobe looks stylish however edges damage easily and if additional holes needed for example if you buy the lights, care needs to be taken as the grey layer on the wardrobe easily splinters.

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.
