Thank you :). iFurnitureassembly LLC is in NO-way affilated with the ikea Corporation or Ikea Corporation or ikea America Corporation. It’s a U shaped and I always wish it were a galley style because I feel like it would have so much more room! One question – are you planning to paint or change out the floor register? First – the supplied diagram didn’t point out important alignment issues (and in some cases, neither did the video). We made sure to make the changes we wanted to in the IKEA pax planner before heading into the store because you can make a shopping list directly from your plans which makes the actual shopping so much easier. They are still all stuck on fine. If you click on “Add products to shopping list” that is what will be most useful in store. Anyone without the manpower or ability to put together … I’m so jealous of your craftsmanship. Wow, even before trim it is dreamy! I can’t wait to see it finished So pleased you have found a home for your original inspiration art work . To think that the government's idea will start family rows that will go on for years? DP and I managed it ourselves so it can't have been too technical! High quality materials add to all of this. great, great job! The Pax have cool hidden levelling feet that are good for getting everything square. The carcass is formed by one 210 x 100 x 35 and five 210 x 50 x 35 white stained oak frames. These are crucial parts of the overall structure, and are screwed through the sides of the middle wardrobe pair and also the outer wardrobe pairs. A few of you suggested this because they hold shoes just as well (if not better), and if we decide we don’t need as much designated shoe storage, we could always use the drawer for something else. I live in an old house and the walls are never straight meaning I’ve had a difference of 1+” from the top of a cabinet to the bottom. It doesn’t come with screws to mount it to the wall. Can I ask how long this took? That was two 201cm x 100cm x 60cm PAX plus four doors, with four sets of hinges. I’m thinking about using some in some wardrobes my husband is building but am worried that it might be too harsh a light for the bedroom and not sure where best to attach it so that you don’t see the strip itself. – My other concern with PAX is that the max drawer is 6 3/4″. Our closet is about 36” deep. Sorry I cant help. I built the two boxes outside the closet. How tall is the plinth. Move the kickboard, just one thickness required. The frames were attached to the PAX wardrobes with small plastic angle brackets. Annoyingly I had to make the 8 x 2 planed timber from 6 x 2 and 2 x 2 screwed together then planed together. Reasons for the decision: well, they fitted into the niches on either side of the bathroom door remarkably closely, and we could get mirrored doors, just like the ones in our last house. Would LOVE to know where Julia’s jean shorts are from? If I remember rightly this took a weekend and then the rest of the week in the evenings after work. Our bedroom project had been on hold for months due to job commitments, and the looks coming from Mrs W were getting worse, so when work finally calmed down I figured I needed to win back some brownie points. Most people choose these closets because of the advantages they bring, making them a good fit for nearly any home. Absolutely – a normal PAX has 7cm of height in its plinth so that is more than enough. Consider getting delivery if you’re going to install these. Do not let yourself struggle and fail when there are options out there. Plus there are items … Oh, it’s not a drawer. We printed out our plans so that we could remember exactly where everything went and once the drawers were together, it all came together pretty fast (as fast as it could with three little ones wanting to help). Of course, if the mirror frame is dark or with a darker rug, it may all blend in. With so many choosing the Ikea Pax wardrobe, this is a lot. We’ll absolutely share the trimming out process next! It also helps to break out the level at this point. Have you mixed and matched all three of the widths?

These would be part shelves and part cupboards and again to make the wardrobe look traditional, a wide boarder is needed here. I am planning an ikea master closet and this helps me tremendously! I either wind up with like 7″ blank extra space or I’m about 1″ too big for my dimensions.. so frustrated! Next point belongs to the door hinges. Looks awesome! Thanks. After our initial plans, we took some of your feedback and tweaked a few other things before eventually pulling the trigger on our wardrobe system. Ditto! You can print it (I would! Never deal with an Ikea Pax wardrobe assembly alone. Did you look into that and if you did what made you pick Ikea?

So here’s what we found that annoyed me (I can be easily annoyed). Fortunately, our awesome contractor Tom offset the pot lights in the closet to the front, so that in this case the pot lights are not blocked by the Pax boxes. Do You have your designs or measurements or close up images so I can see how you got the frames effect. Besides loading up our clothes and hanging a mirror, we still need to: There were a lot of questions on Instagram about the budget for the closet. Can you explain to me how you did the frame pieces for the part in the middle since it’s not flush with the others. But I didn’t think about trimming it out…do I need to remove the trim that’s already in there before installing it? I am hoping they will fit! I can’t remember the exact cost but I expect about £500 of PAX, then around £150 on other wood and around £75 on paint. Using a small roller gives a little more time. 3. It looks so amazing!!! One thing I didn’t account for is that the Pax units are taller than the door. It may sound a little mad to paint the white IKEA doors, but the hand painted look adds to the whole illusion that this is a very expensive custom traditional wardrobe, not to mention the shade of white needing to match everything else. We both like the traditional bespoke hand painted look but to commission a 3.6meter stretch of handmade wardrobes would have cost a fortune so I decided to tackle this project myself, with the help of Ikea and PAX. You did a fab job that is truly worth showing! Take advantage of this service now to enjoy your closet tomorrow. From the moment that you call, you will not have to wait long. I realised this, of course, but didn’t think it through in terms of angling the units up and under the door header. The photo below shows the finished wardrobe project, minus knobs, which were added later. I made an acrylic template consisting of a rectangular and an L-shaped piece screwed together in order to get the holes perfect every time. Have you screwed yours to the wall+? Chris opted for IKEA’s pants hangers, one rod with lots of drawers in the center and our laundry is tucked into the far cubby with an extra rod that will likely be used for jackets. Or potentially too busy looking with your clothes? What you might not realize from the online catalogue is the weight and size of these systems. After a lot of searching around we finally ordered and fitted the some lovely solid brass, antique finish knobs to the wardrobe and cupboard doors: I hope the description is detailed enough for others to use a similar approach. We recently decided to install a pair of Ikea Pax wardrobes in our bedroom. If you have ever put together Ikea furniture, you know that this is not as simple and straightforward as you would want it to be. After a lot of sketches I began to figure out what might work. We used toggle bolts for that. The painting takes ages, and the priming of the melamine was a tricky job. Sound right? Do you think an 80″ wide space would leave enough room to walk between the galley style closet? Thank you again for sharing! With the PAX frames constructed the assembly now looked like this: Luckily the width of the room perfectly fit the correct number of PAX frames and required gaps. This led to the second customisation, just for the far right and left frames, which was to plane 5-10mm from the bottom of the offending sides and add an offset piece of chipboard, screwed to the side. the way the mirrors make the room look bigger is amazing! All the custom pieces could still be removed easily at this point. In understand why you moved the kickboard forward to eliminate the gap that would be seen when the doors were open, but can you please explain why you had to move the kickboard forward as opposed to using a thicker piece of filler? Nawww…only kidding Hi Karla, just a standard wooden molding. Another untried suggestion from me would be to add a few (four per wardrobe) right-angle braces to the middle of each corner.
