Ikea wardrobe systems are one of the most popular in the world, as they allow you to optimally and aesthetically arrange many things. But their main advantage is that the manufacturer gives you the opportunity to arrange the blocks at your discretion, creating the ideal storage space for yourself.
If you have a large amount of clothes and shoes, the question of organizing your wardrobe immediately arises, because even a large closet may not be enough to organize all your things. Therefore, you have to take up space with additional shelves, chests of drawers and other pieces of furniture.
For the convenience of storing all things, the manufacturer Ikea has developed special ergonomic wardrobe systems. Each of them has certain advantages, and today we will talk about their features.

Overview of wardrobe systems
"Pax"
Recently, cabinets from the Pax wardrobe system have become in great demand - such pieces of furniture are designed for storing clothes of any type. The system has several components that can be placed in any order you wish. So, for its customers, the manufacturer Ikea produces cabinets with the following parameters:
- 50x20.1x35 centimeters;
- 100x236x38 centimeters.
In total, it is possible to create designs of eight sizes. Separately, it is worth noting the doors of such cabinets. They come in hinged and sliding compartment type. The design features of the Pax wardrobe allow you to clearly see all the contents of the cabinets.
Pax assembly options
Important point! If you have limited space, it is recommended to choose a wardrobe. After all, there is free space in front of the door that can be used for other purposes, while there should be no obstacles in front of the swing doors.
In total, the catalog contains thirty possible color options for furniture, so such products will fit perfectly into almost any interior.
You can choose modules of different colors
Inside this wardrobe system there are various compartments, baskets, and other auxiliary elements in order to conveniently place both outerwear and any small accessories.
Variety of cabinets in the Pax wardrobe system
"Algot"
The Algot wardrobe system has design features that allow it to be used even with limited space.
It is worth highlighting its other advantages:
- high quality materials - all internal metal elements can withstand loads of up to 60 kilograms (depending on dimensions);
- the components can be easily combined with each other, in addition, they can be disassembled and rearranged to any location;
- All structural elements are quite easy to care for - just wipe them with a damp cloth, which is why such cabinets are often chosen for hallways and children's rooms;
- the entire structure is lightweight, and the cabinets can be assembled even by one person;
- if necessary, you can at any time purchase various auxiliary elements (bars, baskets) and expand the working area of the room;
- Algot wardrobe elements are installed not only on the floor, but also on the wall;
- The kit includes detailed instructions that describe various assembly options.
Elements of the Algot system
It is worth noting that this is not a complete list of the positive aspects of this type of wardrobe system. After all, these functional items are suitable for arranging various types of premises, including a dressing room and bedroom.
In some cases, in order to save free space, they prefer to occupy only the walls with wardrobe system modules, leaving the floor free. In order to implement such an idea you will need:
- metal tires of different sizes (install them in a vertical position using self-tapping screws);
- holders for shelves that are fixed to the slats;
- shelves of various sizes, which can be metal or chipboard. You should choose one option or another based on what things you plan to store in this closet.
Schematic representation of the wardrobe system
Among the elements that are installed on the floor, it is worth highlighting the following:
- frames with multiple crossbars for fixing baskets;
- frames with a rod for storing clothes on hangers;
- fabric bags - they are used as a basket for storing dirty clothes;
- mounts with wheels that can be fixed to the bottom of the frame to move the module if necessary.
An example of placing a wardrobe only on the wall
This system also includes other, no less popular items that can be purchased separately:
- baskets made of mesh and wire (ready-made options are available with mounting on a bar);
- trouser hangers;
- sliding pipes, which are used to organize additional storage space for things on hangers (can be extended up to 60 centimeters);
- modules for storing shoes.
The Algot storage system is designed in such a way that each person can create their own unique project using modules.

"Stallman"
This is another ergonomic wardrobe system from Ikea, which allows you to better organize the space of a large and small room. When assembled, the length of the entire structure can be from 210 to 330 centimeters.
The basis of the wardrobe is a stand that can be installed to the wall or to the ceiling. It consists of two pipes, one of which can be moved apart to a certain distance.
The following items can be attached to this rack:
- hanger rods;
- inclined shelves for shoes that can be adjusted;
- shelves for standard clothes;
- module with mirror door.
Using special fittings, you can fix these shelves at any desired height
In addition, this type of wardrobe system requires the presence of chests of drawers. They are narrow drawers that quickly slide out on guides. At the same time, stoppers are provided to prevent the boxes from crashing into the rear wall of the structure.
Some people may think that such a wardrobe is only suitable for large rooms, but this is not at all true. If necessary, you can place these modules in the corner, and light-colored furniture does not look bulky, and at the same time makes it possible to store any things in plain sight.
Option for placing the “Stallman” wardrobe in the corner
If you have the opportunity to allocate a room for a wardrobe system, then in addition to standard racks, you can install shelves for clothes and shoes, top drawers and much more.
It is worth noting that all modules of the Stolmen wardrobe have a universal snow-white color, so such wardrobes can be used in any type of interior.
"Ophus"
The Ophus module system is perfect for rooms of any size, including very small ones. Thanks to the presence of such cabinets, you can better arrange the interior of a bedroom, dressing room, hallway, hall, or use the space under the stairs.
The design is multifunctional
Any free area can be used from a functional point of view thanks to this ergonomic system. So, when assembled, the wardrobe can have a width from 60 to 340 centimeters, but if necessary, you can always purchase several additional modules.
The cabinets of this system have comfortable legs that can be adjusted. This feature is best suited for uneven floors. The system comes with wall fasteners, but screws and dowels will have to be purchased separately.

Such a model can be transformed in a few minutes. For example, a closet quickly turns into a convenient cabinet.

PAX wardrobes from IKEA - reviews
Natashuka
Now the apartment has 4 PAX wardrobes with sliding doors.
2 black cabinets with fully mirrored sliding doors, 2 oak cabinets with mirror doors + veneer panels. With children, oak veneer turned out to be more practical) When assembling, my husband commented that the quality of the oak cabinets was better than just black ones (they were better processed, the shelves were neater and easier to stand up, but to me the smell was even different)
PAX under oak stood for 3.5 years and we moved them to the previous releases. There were no problems.
More! I completely forgot, closers. We bought them, then returned them to the store, and still didn’t understand why they were needed. The doors open and close easily and “close” themselves. Relatives have it, plus the small bracket cannot open the door right away - it’s hard to come off. But when children grow up, this no longer saves the closets from ruin)

Easy to assemble, roomy, inexpensive, there are different options for filling - you want shelves, a bar for hangers, drawers, baskets, shelves for shoes, hooks for clothes. And all this at an affordable price. If something is not useful, you can return it without any problems. Speaking of returns, I will classify this as a conditional wardrobe malfunction - be careful when purchasing. Check the documents: we asked for a frame with a depth of 38 cm. The consultant wrote out all the fillings for the cabinet at 38 cm and the frame at 60 cm. We didn’t check - we only saw it at home when we threw out the box and it was quickly grabbed for recycling by local homeless people. We thought we wouldn't return. We also purchased guides for wire pull-out baskets from the warehouse. One package was torn - there were no latches or fasteners. So watch everything carefully. I was upset, I wrote on the IKEA website. After 20 minutes, the store employees called back and VERY kindly offered to return everything even without packaging. Europe - what can I say. My husband really liked the hinges with closers. They cost 800 rubles per set for one swing door. There are four hinges and two closers. Easy to install and configure. The doors do not sag; they do not need to be adjusted. Closers are produced by the well-known company Bloom.
Among the disadvantages: the sliding wardrobes have very heavy doors, so they used hinged doors. Doors are expensive by the way. But! On the website the price may be 2500 and in the store 1700. So do not rush to be upset by the draconian prices on the website. Oh, and by the way, the back wall is very thin.
Overall, the cabinet is very decent, we are satisfied.

Advantages:
cabinets are like construction sets, very convenient!
Flaws:
No!
Many people criticize Paksa cabinets because the quality has dropped recently, but I am delighted with these cabinets. For the apartment, I chose a storage system for the children's room - two meter-long Paxes with a height of 2.36 and a depth of 37 cm. We placed them and fastened them together. In the left closet there are shelves in which we store clothes, and in the next closet there are pull-out baskets and hangers for outerwear. The storage capacity of the cabinets is excellent. In the bedroom we have a closet 60 cm deep for outerwear, which is convenient to hang on the crossbar. We chose swing doors for white frames - Bergsbu - one of the most budget-friendly. They look decent. Many people leave the drilled holes for shelves open - I supplemented them with Varrier plugs; in the future, if I want to change the filling of the cabinet, I will buy additional shelves.

Advantages:
You can choose all the internal equipment yourself
Flaws:
Not detected
The good thing about the wardrobe system is that you choose the “stuffing” yourself. By the way, this is very convenient. You can include LED lamps in the interior equipment, or you can refrain from this expensive idea. You can also choose the number of shelves and the distance between them yourself. You can also think about the shelves themselves, because there are pull-out grids, drawers, and simple shelves. I recommend that you take simple shelves, because mechanisms for sliding containers are expensive and the space for cleaning things is reduced. But this is your choice. You can choose doors and handles that match the furniture in your home. And you can take a frame that is not deep and deeper. You can take a frame for one door, or for two. In short, you choose ALL, absolutely ALL internal equipment. Good luck with your design.

Advantages:
price, style
Flaws:
In general, no, for the price everything is fine)
We decided to buy the cheapest PAX with a width of 35 cm (or what is the minimum? I already forgot, we bought it a long time ago), since our room is small. We thought about it for a long time, read a lot of bad reviews, but we still bought it - and we don’t regret it. The cabinet is good)) We took everything to the minimum - only shelves and retractable rods. It’s convenient to design your closet using the Ikea program; you can do everything the way you want. We made two sections of one meter each, the length of the cabinet was 230 something. A little short of the shelf. The instructions say to mount it to the wall so you can't move it. So you have to think a hundred times about where to put it)) Now we’re thinking about buying a third one and it’s cool, assemble the cabinet as much as you want))) We assembled the cabinet in two days ourselves, nothing complicated) However, to reach the upper rods you have to stand on a chair, but that’s okay, the main thing is that everything fits)

- Your Ikea cabinet is the same as Mishka’s!
- I don't think so!
It is quite difficult to find absolutely identical PAX wardrobes, because everyone chooses the functionality, appearance, and cost for themselves. Adds something, removes something. Therefore, the price of a seemingly identical cabinet can vary greatly.
I always wanted to have a large, functional wardrobe, but for a long time we had an old, low Soviet wardrobe, with a clothes rail on one side and shelves on the other, and things weren’t very conveniently stored there. And every time we went to Ikea, I always just looked at the atmosphere of order and comfort in the store windows; the closets seemed especially comfortable, where every thing was in its place.
We bought a wardrobe in the summer of 2014. At the moment he is 3 years old, I am extremely happy with him!
The choice , by the way, is not very easy to make; the main points that you need to decide on before sitting down at the table with a consultant:
1. The color and size of the cabinet itself.
The height was adjusted to match the ceiling.
2. Type of doors (regular or compartment) and their design.
In our small room, a compartment is more convenient. Our doors are made of tempered white glass, maintenance is minimal: dirt does not stick, fingerprints are not noticeable, I am happy with them.
3. Filling . Rods, basket drawers, where they will be, as needed. That is, you need to immediately decide how you want to store things.
Clothes rails take up most of my wardrobe. It’s very convenient to store things this way, they don’t wrinkle and it’s always easy to find the right thing.
I also wanted drawers, not too deep, so that the drawer could be pulled out completely; these are suitable for storing linen and children's things.
Another option with retractable baskets was almost 2 times cheaper in price, but I was not satisfied. The drawers are located at the bottom.
Shelves have been added to the top. At the top of the shelf, seasonal items are stored in a box.
4. Details (all sorts of hangers for straps can be purchased later, but it’s better to decide on all this right away).
5. Backlight and its type. It’s so cool with it, you open the door and the light turns on itself and illuminates the entire closet inside, even the farthest corner. It’s very convenient, but some people buy it without it.
What I like about PAX wardrobes:
1. Chic appearance. The cabinet is beautiful, stylish, and will decorate any interior. The white tempered glass doors I chose freshen up the room.
2. Excellent quality, in three years I have become convinced of this.
I really like Ikea’s mechanisms for smoothly opening/closing doors and drawers: everything works very clearly: I pushed the door, and it closed completely on its own. Children use the cabinet, they don’t always do it carefully, and not always with their hands, but there have never been any malfunctions.
3. Convenience. I chose what I needed, what suited my needs. And it’s very convenient for me to keep my closet organized and keep things neat. At the same time, each item is very easy to get without touching others.
4. The closet is very roomy. We use it with the whole family. There is a lot of stuff, but everything can be placed comfortably.
Price. The cabinet was not cheap; the price at that time was about 48,000 rubles (this was when the dollar cost about 30 rubles). But the equipment was assembled, one might say the maximum.
I just needed a coupe. Most of the cost of the cabinet was the price of glass doors, wooden drawers and lighting. Therefore, if you replace the doors and do not take the above, the cost of the cabinet will be almost 2 times lower.
Delivery. We used the store's delivery services and the cabinet was delivered to us the next day. The components are very large and heavy, the weight indicated on the delivery note is 240 kg. At the same time, we took away the small parts ourselves immediately. The doors and sides are very bulky, so it’s more convenient to pay for delivery and lifting into the apartment.
The overall impressions of the delivery were the most pleasant: everything was clear, they called an hour in advance, they delivered it quickly and carefully, together they checked that everything was fine, and after that I signed for the delivery.
Assembly . My husband assembled the wardrobe himself. If you have good skills and experience in assembling furniture, then it will not be difficult, the instructions are very detailed. Sometimes I helped hold something, but you can’t hang doors alone.
Flaws:. For me there are none.
Among the relative disadvantages - the cabinet is very heavy, it was being renovated, it was difficult to move it.
Someone wrote that the cabinet could fall, we have it attached to the wall, like other furniture (racks, shelves), so I don’t see a problem at all. Special mounts are sold, and even the instructions say that they are needed, but apparently not everyone buys them!
At Ikea you can choose a wonderful wardrobe, one that suits you!
Of course I recommend it!
Thank you for your attention and happy shopping!

Several years ago, when we had a question about buying a wardrobe for our room, we considered various options on the market, from cheap to mid-price. As a result, we chose the PAX system from Ikea, having discovered the following advantages :
-Ability to choose the length of the cabinet (from half a meter to... as many as you need in increments of half a meter or 0.75m, if you choose a sliding wardrobe)
— Possibility of compiling the “filling” of the cabinet in accordance with preferences and needs.
— The ability to adjust the “filling” of the cabinet after purchase during the period of operation (Ikea has been on the market for a long time, it has been producing this system for quite a long time and at any time you can purchase the necessary internal elements of the cabinet)
-internal cabinet filling elements cover most of the necessary nuances for storing things
-there is a program on the IKEA website that makes it possible to visually design cabinets along with compiling a list of necessary components
— Ikea is a well-known large brand with already clear quality, the ability to resolve controversial situations (for example, return of defective goods, etc.). I would like to note that I do not consider the quality of Ikea products to be the best, but, in my opinion, some of the products (I won’t say about all of them, I haven’t used all of them) are optimal in terms of price-quality ratio.
-easy to assemble yourself, all parts are smooth and of the required shape, holes are in the right places, clear and simple assembly instructions.
Naturally, not everything is perfect in this system. The disadvantages include the following issues:
— PAX are good in their price range (I would characterize them as average), they are not offered in either the cheap or premium segment
-relatively small selection of exterior design
- self-assembly or to order for an additional fee. As I noted earlier, assembling furniture is quite simple, but not everyone wants to spend time on it, and not everyone will be able to overcome it. At one time, my husband was sincerely surprised who might need a furniture assembly service, it’s so easy to do it yourself... until I drew his attention to the fact that, for example, the cabinet doors are quite heavy, as a result of which, for example, I won’t be able to hang them myself.
-it takes time to study all the internal components and create your dream closet
We have been using this system for more than 6 years. At one time, we opted for opening doors (simply because I don’t like the idea of sliding wardrobes; purely outwardly, I don’t like sliding doors). During this time, we purchased additional internal elements several times, adjusting the storage space to meet the needs that arose. Until now, the doors hang perfectly, open/close perfectly, all the sliding elements work great, just like on the first day, sliding smoothly, etc. Very pleased with the quality and functionality. During this time we moved, the closet was completely disassembled (down to the individual walls) in order to fit into the elevator. Our PAX system survived the assembly/disassembly and relocation procedure perfectly. Therefore, when deciding which cabinet to buy for the children's room, the answer was clear - the PAX storage system. Particularly attractive is the convenience of adjusting the internal contents of the closet over time, which is important when you have a growing child whose needs are constantly changing. Having received the cabinet, we felt a little disappointed, as its visual quality had deteriorated (compared to six years ago): the chipboard looked looser, and when assembled in one place, it chipped. On the other hand, the price of a wardrobe has increased less than our economy has worsened overall, so it’s difficult to complain about this fact. This did not affect the functionality and reliability of the cabinet. And the chip happened on the inside of the wall, so it’s not visible and doesn’t interfere.
In general, I recommend this system to people who give preference to the functionality of the cabinet (versus its original appearance), as well as those who want to be the designer of its internal contents themselves.
Mobile wardrobe systems
Ikea specialists have developed wardrobes for various occasions. So, if you rent an apartment or are planning a quick move, it is better to opt for mobile models. These include the convenient “Brame” and “IKEA PS” modules.
These products have an unusual, attractive design, but the main advantage is ease of assembly and transportation. Thus, the textile wardrobe “Brame” has the following dimensions: 80x55x180 centimeters (width, height, depth). The shelves can withstand loads of up to 40 kilograms without any problems.
Mobile wardrobe system "Brame"
Using such a convenient mobile system, you can place all your things anywhere.

Thanks to the possibility of combination, you can independently create cabinets of 8 standard sizes.
As for the doors installed on Pax series cabinets, they can be of two types - hinged or sliding, and their color range consists of more than thirty shades, which allows the furniture to fit into almost any interior of the room.
The internal filling of such an IKEA dressing room is made up of various modular sections, including shelves, baskets, as well as other accessories, with which you can conveniently place outerwear, dresses or shirts in the closet.
Here is an example of a catalog with prices for the Pax wardrobe system:
Stolman
Another wardrobe system from IKEA that consumers liked is the Stolmen model. The main advantage of such furniture is the presence of height-adjustable stands. This indicator varies from 2100 to 3300 millimeters, which allows you to place such a dressing room in rooms with different ceiling heights.

Stolmen wardrobes from IKEA are offered in only one color - white.
Ophus
The Ophus modular storage system will help you arrange a room of any size and shape - from a dressing room to an attic with a sloping ceiling. By rearranging wardrobe modules, you can radically change the appearance of a living room or bedroom, optimize the space under the stairs or decorate a nursery.
All seemingly impractical places can be used by choosing a storage system of the appropriate size. The width of the wardrobe is from 60 cm to 340 cm, but nothing will prevent you from increasing the number of modules if necessary. Ophus cabinets are equipped with adjustable legs, this will help correct any unevenness in the floor.
The system is supplied with wall mounting. But you will have to purchase additional screws or dowels, depending on what kind of fastening devices are needed for your walls.
Using a planner, you can choose the design and configuration of the system for your wardrobe before going to the store.
Photos and prices of some models, as well as the catalog of Ophus cabinets, see below:

Any version of the system can then be printed and used when arranging a room.
A planner makes it much easier to arrange a room
Assembling a wardrobe system: step-by-step instructions
Today we will look at a detailed version of assembling the Pax wardrobe. In addition to cabinet parts, this kit includes additional elements for installation.
Step one: you need to open the packaging and conveniently place all the elements on the floor. The width of the finished frames will be 100 centimeters and 70 centimeters. In the assembly process itself, we will not need anything other than one screwdriver and a hammer and a hammer drill.
In this case, we will place two parts of the modules side by side - here you can see the presence of all the necessary holes for fasteners
Step two: First you need to install the wall brackets on both sides.
Installed corners for the wall
Step three : next, according to the instructions, we need to secure the holders for the upper crossbars. In total, these screws are screwed in three places. The same steps should be repeated in the second half.
Screw in the crossbar screws
Step four: Next, you need to hammer wooden pins into the upper and lower crossbars on all sides. Here we need a hammer.
Hammering the pins
Step five: Now you need to attach threaded washers to the bottom of the wardrobe (as shown in the image). They are needed in order to then screw the legs with stops into them.
Screw in the washers
Leg
From the inside of the wardrobe, you can adjust the optimal height of the legs using a Phillips screwdriver.
This is what the assembled leg with a plastic stop looks like
Step six: at the bottom of the cabinet we tighten the metal pins on which we will have to put the crossbar. They should not be secured from the extreme part, but by retreating some distance in order to place other perpendicular crossbars.
It is necessary to insert the lower crossbar into the metal pins
The sides with the cutouts should be aligned. The longitudinal part will be fixed to the wall
Step seven: when we put the bottom shelf on the metal pins, here you will notice a hole for a special nut that needs to be tightened. Using the same principle, it is necessary to secure the second shelf. It is also pre-attached to metal fasteners.
The nuts will need to be tightened using a screwdriver in three places
Step eight: when the top shelf is secured, it will be necessary to install stiffening ribs at the bottom.
They are a type of planks into which wooden pins are also installed - they should be securely fixed to the bottom.
Stiffening rib
At this stage, most of our cabinet is ready, you just need to secure the part on top.
In order to connect the remaining parts into the grooves, it is better to involve another person to help. After all, this is quite a responsible process.
This is what the finished cabinet base will look like
Step Nine: Now we need to attach the back wall to the cabinet. It is attached with nails.
It should be placed in this groove and then nailed evenly
This is what the fixed wall will look like
Now you need to put the cabinet straight.
Using the same principle, we assemble another meter-long cabinet with a height of 70 centimeters
Step ten: the next step is to connect all these cabinets into a single system using prepared holes.
You will need to attach the cabinets to each other using the fasteners that come with the kit.
To do this, you will need to first align them exactly to the level, and only then secure all the screws and nuts. It is advisable to double-check the correct location of the cabinets several times.
Then, through the holes in the furniture corners, each module of the system must be secured to the wall. You should also make holes in the wall itself using a hammer drill into which dowels will be inserted. As a result, two dowels were used for each such cabinet.
Fastening furniture corners
Step Eleven: Before installing the cabinet doors, you will need to secure the runners at the top and bottom. These doors will move on them.
This is what the top bar looks like
Bottom bar
This is done quite simply. So, first, using two self-tapping screws, screw the top bar according to the instructions, install plugs so that it does not move back and forth. Then we screw the plastic holders on top.

The lower bar is even easier to install. It will have to be secured with 8 screws.
Step twelve: the next step is to assemble the doors.
First you need to screw the corner and crossbar
After the main crossbar is installed, we need to secure the middle crossbars with screws.
The crossbars will connect the mirror and the wooden panel
Step Thirteen: Once these plates are installed, we will move on to the step of joining the mirror to the wood panel. This is the most difficult process of all stages of structural assembly. The canvases must be alternated with each other.
On top we install a wooden panel in special grooves. In this case, all seats must be sealed with a rubber seal.

Then a jumper is installed and only then can glass be installed up to the next jumper.
Step fourteen: all that remains is to put on the other side of the fastener, and our door will be ready.
Door assembled
Once assembly is complete, you can tighten all the screws again for greater reliability. Otherwise, they may unwind during operation.
It should be remembered that the door marked “A” is installed on the right side. The only difference is that it is a little thinner because it slides behind the other. Therefore, during assembly this feature will also have to be taken into account.

Then you have to hang the wheels on the door and install them in the wardrobe system. The mechanism should open and close smoothly.
Basic parameters of Pax wardrobes
The height of the cabinets is 201 or 236 cm, this option fits perfectly into the dimensions of a standard city apartment. The depth can also be chosen from two options: 35 cm from the back wall to the doors or 58 cm. It should be taken into account that hinged doors increase the depth by another 2 cm, and sliding doors by 8 cm.

The first option (35 cm) is intended for small and narrow rooms: corridor, hallway, loggia. On small shelves, jeans, sweaters, T-shirts, drawers for linen and several long items of clothing, such as a dress, suit or coat, will fit in one row. Due to lack of space, the hanger bar is not located along the frame, but across it - from the back wall to the doors. The second option, a cabinet with a depth of 58 cm, takes up more space, but is also more spacious.
