The Pax cabinet from IKEA is one of the most convenient cabinets to place in a small room or hallway, as it does not require much space. Pax is able to accommodate many different things, from shoes to clothes that need a hanger. At the same time, it is not capable of spoiling the interior, since it is made in classic colors that match virtually any color scheme.

However, assembling Pax without instructions is not so easy, and there are a lot of cases when instructions are missing. For example, a cabinet was purchased through Avito, but the previous owner lost the instructions somewhere and can only explain the cabinet’s structure in words. Unfortunately, under such conditions, it is no longer possible to call an installer from an IKEA company store, and you will have to rely only on your own strength.

Schemes of cabinets and filling
Today you can find a variety of designs of sliding wardrobes:
- With two, three, four or more sections;
- with drawers and lower shelves for storing shoes;
- two-door, three-door and so on.
Before proceeding with installation, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the diagrams.
We will show you an example of how to assemble a wardrobe with your own hands in the second option. The diagram shows a cabinet with three sections 2400 mm wide and 2600 mm high. It has two doors and a corner exterior panel with rounded shelves.
The filling of the closet includes shelves, drawers, and clothes rails. It is these features that most often prevent a person from making a choice. Among the variety of furniture designs, it is sometimes difficult to choose what is right for you.
When choosing a wardrobe, consider the following details:
- The room where it will be installed;
- own requirements for design capacity;
- features of storage items (linen, clothes, shoes, etc.);
- budget.
The space inside it should be used rationally. You can store your trousers separately on the bottom section, and have a separate rack for your shirts.
Modern content is the key to assembling a practical cabinet. Behind the sliding doors today there are baskets for storing small items, hangers for ties, trousers, belts, retractable shelves and rods, and wardrobe elevators.
Having decided on the content and design, you can proceed to assembly.

The main mistakes when assembling a wardrobe - Pax coupe from Ikea
Difficult? Let's do it - assembling Ikea furniture - at your home or office!
The manufacturer makes changes to the technical characteristics of its product over time to improve the quality of the parts.
► How to properly disassemble Pax wardrobe doors?
Additional options include door closers and interior lighting using photo elements. Attention was also paid to filling the cabinet, including auxiliary elements. In our opinion, the instructions for assembling the Pax wardrobe, developed by Ikea, best show the step-by-step sequence of connecting parts and all the nuances of assembly; only the inattentiveness of the assembler and external factors can lead to errors.
► How to assemble a Pax wardrobe with low ceilings?
When installing a wardrobe on their own, the buyer sometimes encounters certain problems.
The Pax wardrobe doors touch each other and do not move well along the guide.
1. The doors are mixed up. On older cabinet models, the vertical frames of the front door are wider than on the inside. The frames of the door closest to the cabinet frame are marked “A”
. It is necessary to rearrange the roller system on the doors.
2. Do not tighten the screws when tightening frames or installing rollers. If the screw cannot be fixed - it is torn off or does not “go” along the thread - it is unscrewed using pliers, we “drive” the thread with a tap, and tighten the screw.
3. The roller has come off the guide, the door stop is not closed. We install the roller and bottom bracket into the guide and fix the limiter.
4. A foreign object has fallen between the doors.
5. Changes in cabinet geometry: uneven floors, uneven screeding of cabinet frame sections, fastening to the wall, which caused the cabinet to bend. Level the structure and eliminate all unevenness in the cabinet frame.
The closet door knocks when opening.
1. The wheel in the roller system is deformed. If the wheel is chipped, replace the roller bracket.
2. Visually inspect the roller wheel and remove any adhering particles of debris.
3. Sand in the top guide. We remove dust and other objects from the guide groove.
It is impossible to hang an assembled door.
Move the limiter on the inner door to a horizontal position, then hang the door - then move it to a vertical position - the door is locked.
Updated interior door roller! To open the lock - press on the appendage and pull it down. Secure the pax wardrobe door - pull it up until it clicks.
On the outer door the limiter is towards you, after hanging it - away from you.
Updated roller for the outer door of the Pax wardrobe! To open the lock - lift the element and pull it towards you. Lock the lock away from you until it clicks.
The Pax closet door rattles.
1. The density of the internal elements of the door is lost. Older models were equipped with rubber bands and foam stickers; perhaps over time the rubber bands lost their rigidity or popped out. There are often cases when the client himself removes the seal from the door frame during assembly, citing the reason that it was difficult to insert, which is absolutely not necessary to do, since the door will subsequently rattle when opened. More details - how to remove the door from the Pax wardrobe.
2. The screws are not tightly secured when assembling the doors and installing the roller brackets.
Drawers hit the doors when rolling out
1. Adjust the doors.
2. Move the bumper on the upper guide to the desired position.
3. Install the cabinet frame level, aligning the doors.
The back wall is falling out.
According to the assembly diagram of Ikea furniture, the Pax cabinet is attached to the wall of the room - this is what the Ikea manufacturer provided. This is not only for safety reasons, but also for the smooth movement of doors and the tight fit of the back wall of the cabinet to the wall of the apartment. If for some reason you refuse to drill, replace the nails with self-tapping screws.
There are not enough screws to assemble the doors.
Read the instructions carefully; not all holes are screwed into all the holes when connecting door frames. After installing the device for smooth closing of doors, the screws in the roller mechanism fastening are replaced and three extra screws remain.

Warnings and helpful tips
Be extremely careful during assembly! When using the most popular #2 screwdriver in use, you can cause serious damage to the fine threads located on the screw heads.
The best screwdriver option for assembly is screwdriver No. 4. It's more effective than the screwdrivers that often come with IKEA kitchen sets. In addition, this screwdriver is very convenient to use. If a serious obstacle occurs during assembly, check whether you have followed all the above steps correctly. It is quite possible that, despite all your efforts, you made a mistake when performing some stage and it needs to be corrected.
If during assembly you have any problems or something is unclear to you, you can contact the IKEA service center. There they will tell you how to solve your problem.
If you are patient, careful and follow the included instructions exactly, you will be able to assemble your IKEA kitchen furniture in the shortest possible time. We wish you good luck!

Advantages of a modular system
Despite the fact that a modular kitchen set does not involve custom-made
(although sometimes this happens), it cannot be said that this furniture is completely standardized and faceless.
Modular systems are good because everyone can combine different modules to create their own unique interior.
In addition, the modular system allows you to save money by eliminating some unnecessary cabinets or tables, while at the same time increasing the ergonomic characteristics of the kitchen, filling it with only functional items. The advantages of modular systems also include speed of production: as a rule, all the main items of furniture from IKEA are available in the company’s warehouses, so you can immediately purchase and pick up your purchase immediately.
“Method” rulers are interchangeable,
and this allows you to avoid problems and unnecessary repair costs. So, if one module fails or is damaged in IKEA stores, you can buy another one of the same type, and if necessary, replace individual parts (for example, fronts, drawers or inset shelves), they can also be purchased separately.
An important aspect when buying modular furniture is the fact that the consumer knows exactly the final price: the cost of individual modules is fixed, so even before purchasing you can calculate exactly how much money will be spent on the set. The only figure that will be approximate is the cost of delivery, assembly and installation of furniture at the customer’s home: prices may vary among different specialists who engage in such types of work.
Features of wardrobe systems from Ikea
The company's furniture is suitable for storing both large and small items. Such designs have been popular among buyers for many years due to their functionality and favorable cost.
Many people prefer wardrobes from this manufacturer because of their versatility, because you can choose the best option for a room of any size and design. In addition, the design of these systems allows the use of additional elements in the form of baskets, rails, drawers, various shelves, and compartments.
You can fit a lot of things in an Ikea wardrobe
Another advantage of such systems is the ability to install them in almost any corner or free space of the room. All this, combined with impeccable quality, makes any Ikea product very popular among buyers.
Ikea systems include many storage elements
Peculiarities
Swedish IKEA sliding door systems have their own distinctive features:
It is possible to assemble the door yourself from separate double door frames with guides and a set of different panels made of different materials in several color variations. To diversify the design, you can combine 2 sets of panels in one door system: make a different design for each leaf, or arrange the panels in a checkerboard pattern.
Frames with PAX guides for IKEA sliding doors are available in three color options:
They are made of aluminum.
Features of fittings and colors
Features of fittings for Ikea PAX storage systems are:
- ergonomic shape;
- nice colors (gold, steel, matte metallic, black, gray, white);
- various design elements (rings, plastic edging, flat, embossed, leather hanging, retro and modern).
The color range of Ikea Pax is one of the widest from the manufacturer. This series is available in white, beige, black, gray, light brown. There are also combinations of dark blue and dark cherry with the main colors (black or white). If desired, you can install a cloth of a different color on the door frame, selecting it according to size.
DIY corner cabinet design
Well, the dimensions: 850*110*2250. In height, almost to the ceiling. Those. You will have to assemble it while standing, which imposes some restrictions on fasteners.
I ordered laminated chipboard for cutting and edges at the factory according to my drawings. Drawings were prepared in SketchUp. If you are interested in how to design furniture in SketchUp, then there is a corresponding article: SketchUp: 3D modeling for carpentry.
In the picture, the sizes are creeping onto each other: this is a bug of Sketchup (or a feature): the font size does not scale when moving away. I sent each part to the factory in a separate file, everything is visible there.
Preparation of door facades
The same conductor made an additive for the shelves and hinges.
I ordered the doors from the same office where I cut the chipboard. They are an MDF profile in a film, fastened with special “butterflies” and in the center 8mm laminated chipboard. It was possible to insert a mirror, but since the bed is located opposite the door, it is not very good to hang a mirror: not everyone likes to see themselves when they are asleep
I marked the holes for the hinges using a ruler and drilled them with a forstner cutter - nothing complicated. Large diameters should be drilled at low speeds. I did this at the first speed of the screwdriver; as a result: neat chips do not scatter everywhere and it is easier to control the depth. It’s good if the centering spout is not very large, so there is less chance of drilling through.
I saw a jig for hinges on sale, but for me this is already overkill.

except perhaps to select the unevenness of the floor by sliding a spacer (a sheet of plywood) under one of the sidewalls of the pax

If the edges of the doors are parallel to the frame, then up/down (you need to turn on all hinges of the door).
If the edge is level, and the door goes up or down towards the center relative to the frame, then adjust the hinges to the right/left, with the bottom and top in opposite directions. Let’s say that if the right door goes higher to the center of the frame, then adjust the upper hinges on it to the left, and the lower ones to the right.

Examples in the interior
Ikea chairs look organic in any interior, especially Scandinavian. It is characterized by a light background and the most comfortable functional furniture, which 100% includes folding chairs. If you choose a discreet shade of the cover, then the furniture becomes almost invisible to others, while bright fabric, on the contrary, makes the chair stand out from the “gray mass” or the rest of the room’s decoration and makes it an accent.
The transformable chair looks good in a children's room and serves as its decoration if you choose a cheerful color - turquoise, black and white geometric print or light yellow.
Additional replaceable covers make it easy to update the sofa and change the interior.
The compact chair-bed easily turns into a comfortable single bed.
Three mattress options and a wide range of covers allow you to create the optimal combination.

How to mount
The easiest way to deal with all the complexities of installing a Basya wardrobe is to entrust this process to professionals. But, if you don’t want to spend extra money, or are simply used to doing everything yourself, then you can try to assemble your furniture yourself.
When the frame is ready, you can nail the back wall to the base. Chipboard sheets are attached using self-tapping screws. They begin to be fixed from above and fall down. The back wall must be secured both from the outside and from the inside. After completing this process, it is advisable to check whether all parts are securely fastened - an installation error can significantly reduce the life of the cabinet.
Having secured the main parts, you can fix individual shelves inside the cabinet. To secure the five shelves, you will need self-tapping screws, wooden dowels, glue and a drill. The main tip to remember when installing shelves is to start at the top and work your way down.
When installing shelves, pay attention to the fact that their front edge is in front, and not rough, raw edges.
The most difficult step is installing the door. The sliding wardrobe door mechanism must be installed so that the door opens and closes well. How convenient it will be for you to use the wardrobe depends on how correctly the mechanism is installed. All rollers and fixing elements are included with the main parts. Additionally, there is also a mirror for the facade on a film basis. Finally, after all these procedures, close all visible holes with the decorative plugs included in the kit and check the quality of the assembly.
You can determine the high-quality assembly of Basya's wardrobe by a few simple details. First of all, a well-mounted cabinet stands level on the floor, without tilting anywhere. There are no cracks or openings at the fastening points. And the compartment door slides smoothly when opening and closing and does not make any unnecessary sounds. A properly installed closet can be moved to the desired area and you can start filling it with things.
Every apartment must have such a multifunctional piece of furniture as a wardrobe. It will save space in your home and organize space. Not everyone can afford to purchase it due to various circumstances. This is not a reason to refuse such a thing. For a jack of all trades, it won’t be too difficult to make and assemble it yourself.
Of course, some knowledge will be required. There is nothing complicated here as it seems at first glance. In addition, what joy and pride you will experience from the work done. After all, furniture assemblers charge quite a high fee, but you can handle it on your own.
After the decision to buy a wardrobe has been made, the need arises to assemble it correctly.
To assemble purchased furniture, you must follow the cabinet assembly instructions provided by the manufacturer. There are certain rules. By following them, you will assemble any item with high quality and in a short time.
- You shouldn’t take everything out of the packages at once, much less mix parts from different packs. Maintain the order.
- Read the instructions carefully so that later there are no overlaps and you don’t have to redo it again.
- Make sure the fittings and components are in place. Otherwise, you will not be able to completely assemble the furniture. The handles must match the color scheme. It is necessary that the drawer guides have a soft movement.
- Assemble one section at a time in order. You need to start from the bottom, gradually moving to the sides.
- Open the package, lay out the parts, prepare the tools.
- Mirrors and glass are installed at the final stage. This way you will avoid damage.
For assembly you need a screwdriver, a screwdriver, a hex key, and a tape measure.
If you do the manufacturing yourself, it will be much easier to assemble.
It is very important to follow the assembly sequence, otherwise you will be forced to disassemble and reassemble the cabinet in the correct sequence
New items and catalog trends
The range of rocking chairs in Ikea catalogs is not that wide. But the small choice is due to the diversity of the model range. Almost all types of these products are present in the assortment. There is a wicker, wooden and combined rocking chair. Let's talk about them in more detail:
It's time to talk about how much a rocking chair costs in IKEA catalogs, and whether it is possible to buy products inexpensively, because, you see, price is one of the most important qualities of a purchase.

Difficulties in purchasing and incredible difficulties in assembly.
We purchased this five-door wardrobe for the nursery.
It was very difficult to create the required set of contents.
When the cabinet is now assembled, it seems like it’s nothing and there’s nothing special inside.
But we chose every drawer, every barbell, shoe rack, well, literally every design element with great effort.
We spent several hours at Ikea. I can’t give exact examples, I forgot the specifics, like a bad dream, but believe me, difficulties arose literally through one element.
And, of course, it was not without mistakes.
Instead of one of the three simple drawers for linen, we got a drawer with a glass front panel. It costs much more, but we didn’t go to change it.
And during assembly it also cracked! I definitely advise you not to take boxes with glass. The construction is flimsy.
Now about the assembly. This is absolute hell! My husband is not a beginner, he knows how to work with his hands, all the tools are available. But he also completely screwed up!!
It is very difficult to assemble a cabinet alone (even with my help). The instructions are not obvious.
And for some reason there were a lot of extra mounting holes.
Already at the first stage, when assembling the frame, my husband confused the holes where to insert the base.
He assembled three cabinets in succession and installed a plinth in each with different hole options.
Take a closer look, in case 1 the base is placed correctly, in the holes in the front.
In cabinet 2 the base is recessed. There is a second row of holes, absolutely unnecessary. So he put it in them.
Well, in the 3rd case, he placed the base diagonally, connecting the first row of holes on the right and the second on the left.
Since the cabinet is face down during assembly, he did not notice this.
I drilled the cabinet firmly into the wall. I hung the doors. And I discovered this joint only when I started washing the floor and crawled up from below.
Of course, this is not striking. But why is there this additional row of holes? The cabinet should not come together if it is skewed. And he got ready.
But there are no holes for installing handles at all.
Of course, there are several handle options available, the holes may be in different places. But at least one starting universal hole could be made.
To push off from it and drill a second one if necessary.
Or at least make markings on the inside of the door.
No, figure it out yourself. It's good that my husband has a laser level.
How to arrange 5 pieces of handles evenly on a completely smooth surface?
Only professionals can do this.
And of course, the husband made a mistake. By the time he attached the handles, he was already tired, and drilled one hole in the wrong place. Exactly in the center of the handle-brace.
I was terribly upset. But we didn’t go buy a door to replace the damaged one.
We moved this door from the window closer to the corner, he filled the hole with a piece of wood, sanded it and painted it with white varnish. Almost invisible.
So my advice is, if you are not confident in your abilities, do not mess with this designer.

Step-by-step assembly process
First, the sections are assembled. If you select parts for sections in advance, you can save work time. Therefore, it is better to spend a few minutes and put the elements in separate piles. This way the work will proceed faster. The second step will be to remove the doors from the cabinets and remove the shelves and drawers. Put these elements together. Next comes the installation of cabinets. By checking the instructions, the sizes and types of cabinets are determined. Accordingly, all the parts for the boxes are selected. Next, you need to correctly install screws, dowels, and locks. This is done with a Phillips screwdriver
It is important to fasten the structure firmly. All sections of the headset are assembled in the same way. Small pieces are cut from the adhesive tape and glued to visible areas of the finished sections
Do not remove the tapes until the end of the installation process. Installation and placement of cabinets is carried out in strict accordance with the instructions. All sections must be placed in their place, as in the diagram that was drawn in advance. The doors must be hung evenly and carefully. First, the awnings are attached to the base and the door separately. The fastening points are marked in advance on the elements. Even a small shift can lead to damage to the part. You will have to dismantle the canopies and move them to other places. In this case, holes will remain and the appearance will not be aesthetic. If everything is done smoothly, the door will “sit” exactly.
You need to check its strength and avoid contact with the base of the cabinet. Otherwise, the facade quickly crumbles and becomes unusable.
If rails are provided for sliding cabinets, they are inserted into special holes.
PAX planner: set dimensions and choose design
PAX can be planned independently in the planner program, or with a specialist when visiting a store. The good thing about the second method is that a specialist can give you some advice or warn you against mistakes in planning. The first one will please those who do not have the opportunity to visit the store, because... IKEA is not available in all cities of Russia and CIS countries.
The price will depend on the content and dimensions. The most expensive will be tall cabinets with glass doors or veneer fronts. Panels on sliding doors made of fiberboard are the most budget-friendly.
In general, a cabinet assembled using the PAX system costs from 5 thousand rubles.
The project above is exactly my closet. And this is what it looks like in reality.
Dimensions of my closet: 236x58x150 cm. The price in this configuration, as can be seen in the screenshot from the program, is almost 27 thousand. In my opinion it is very cheap.
Facades: one sliding door - “Mehamn” under stained ash; the other is mirrored.
Frame sizes
Although IKEA claims that this wardrobe system allows you to assemble a wardrobe for almost any room, the size and capabilities of PAX are still limited.
In the catalog you can choose only 2 types of height and 2 depths:
The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:
I wanted to install PAX not only in the room, but also in the hallway for outerwear. But precisely because of the width, we had to look for other options for arranging the hallway.
Corner
The PAX system allows you to assemble a corner or U-shaped wardrobe option. To do this, you need to purchase a special module.
Unfortunately, IKEA does not currently have options for frames with a beveled corner. And, in my opinion, it looks more beautiful with a right angle. Although, perhaps, a corner wardrobe in the shape of a trapezoid is more convenient to use.
Doors: hinged and sliding
Sliding ones save space, but from personal experience I will say that it is inconvenient to dress alone with such a wardrobe: while one half is open, access to the other is closed.
But in a small apartment or in a narrow corridor, there aren’t really any other options besides sliding doors.
But there are more design options among swing designs.
Internal filling
The interior arrangement and organization of storage is a separate delight. For this I am ready to endlessly praise IKEA.
Everything is thought out to the smallest detail:
This is simply paradise for those who love order and functionality!
Open wardrobes PAX
A large dressing room is every woman's dream. And with IKEA’s open storage system, you can get closer to your dream by organizing a mini version of it in the pantry, for example. Or under the stairs.
And if the size of the bedroom allows, then you can build a partition from plasterboard, organizing storage behind it.
Design options
For sliding doors, the catalog offers the following facade options:
The sliding door frame can be composed of different facades, because... its parts are sold separately.
The frames are available in only three colors: white, bleached oak and black-brown.
There is a larger range of swing doors. There are blue, green, gray, black, black-brown, light or dark wood, white and even with a floral pattern. There are smooth facades, with panels or with a mirror.
Living room cabinets
With a small home, the issue of storing things becomes very pressing. And here the well-known “Soviet walls” - the Todalen series from ikea - will come to the rescue. And the cabinet in this series does not spoil the overall impression, but fits organically into the interior, along with a chest of drawers, a cabinet, and a cabinet.
Therefore, a cabinet is added to the functional “walls”, made in the same style, color and texture. And the Todalen series is an example of this.
Ikea furniture is distinguished by the fact that it can be combined in the interior without losing practicality and aesthetics. And the Todalen series is proof of this. A wardrobe from this series can store both clothes and utensils; fortunately, there are enough shelves and compartments.
But a living room closet can be for more than just clothes. A bookcase from this manufacturer will pleasantly surprise and delight you with its price. The catalog with photos, in which you can view the products, clearly shows the variety of sizes, colors and designs: with glass inserts on the doors or just glass, with blank doors, display cabinets, shelving. The colors will be especially surprising, from white and black to yellow and green. Unusual and original.
Assembly instructions
If you have at least minimal skills in working with a screwdriver, and the instructions do not seem like a bunch of incomprehensible words and pictures, then you can safely assemble it yourself. But not alone. Call a friend for help: sliding doors with glass are especially heavy and it is very difficult to install them alone. My husband and I assembled the closet together. We got it done in a couple of evenings.
Detailed instructions are included with the furniture. And if you lost it for some reason, you can find it electronically in the product card on the official website.
To imagine the full scale of the upcoming assembly work, watch the video:
Be sure to secure cabinets to the wall for safety.
Opinion of a professional assembler
Probably, as a professional assembler, I come across what seem to me to be obvious shortcomings, but the ordinary consumer does not notice them at all, or considers them very insignificant. Or, as an option, the customers themselves have underestimated requirements for the quality of the kitchen, because for that kind of money they don’t expect anything else. Some people would agree with this, but I think that Borovichi’s quality is at a very low level.
Here is an example that Borovichi had to encounter during the last assembly of furniture. The side of the kitchen pencil case (the same part) is shown from opposite edges. If made correctly, they should be mirror identical, but we don’t see this
If you pay attention, the distance from the edge of the part to the center of the hole for the tie should be 8mm, but in this case it is 13mm and 3mm. It won't be hard to imagine how the pieces will fit together
Let's consider other cases with elements of furniture purchased in one of the supermarkets. On two of them we will see a half-glued edge. But this is not the worst flaw in the product, since these untreated ends will not be visible later. In the following photographs you can see the result that was obtained when the parts for the dowels were drilled incorrectly. Please note that only the right side of the cabinet is drilled correctly. The edge of the chipboard part is glued incorrectly.
Opinions on review sites
In addition to quality, it is worth evaluating other properties and characteristics of this furniture. What do other buyers say about this?
My blog has also previously published reviews of PAX
