My tip is buy, try and take back. I bought masses of fixtures and fittings and just returned if not suitable. IKEA has one of the best return refund policies so take advantage.

Just found your channel (from the United States) and I am so glad I did - I have an older PAX unit in my dressing room, but next year I will be downsizing but plan on buying a new PAX system - I too was thrown off by the corner unit - until I went and saw it. Will be watching more of your videos.

Just discovered your channel. I am going to be doing PAX in the next few months in our reach in closets. This is a great video. I am going back and forth between the grey and the white. I naturally lean to the grey but I worry that like the black it will be discontinued and if you ever need new pieces you may be out of luck in the future. Although the grey looks stunning! I can not wait to watch the rest of your videos.

I think the least popular must be the beige. The oak does look nice on the inside ? Thanks for the views 👍

I had a corner wardrobe, great with 1 rail for long dresses/coats or even 2 rails for shorter items. At first I had it with the shelves as shown in your vid, and then bought the drawers that can go in the smaller section. I wouldn’t recommend the drawers though as they are quiet small and take up more room than they give, so stick with just the shelves

That’s great advice re: drawers 🙏

Thanks for taking time to make this video. I've recently heard awful things about the quality of Ikea furniture going far downhill since prices came down this year. I'd really love to hear from anyone who has bought the Pax and Komplement system in 2024. How is the quality. I expect not as good as years gone by but good enough?

It will be very interesting to see what the pax 2.0 is like for quality. Check out my new video with info about the redesign.

@Chris4ord 2 ай бұрын

Amazing. Was so disappointed they discontinued the black/brown. I have one and originally wanted to extend in the dressing area. But as I have the mirror doors covering them I’m tempted now to get the dark grey to finish but keep the doors off. I already have a few pax in other cupboards (50x35) they are great for extra storage and hanging space, and did get a dark grey it’s really nice for guest coats and my travel suitcase (even though it does sit in a cupboard)

I’ve just come across your channel and it couldn’t have come at a better time as I’m moving into my new house very soon. Can I ask you, if I buy two frames (50cm and 75cm) what is the best way to join them together so that they line up correctly? Thank you.

@kirstygriffiths749 3 ай бұрын

The frame is the same as it’s always been ? I had to trim a door, that was hallow inside but ok. I’ve not noticed any dip in quality in the last 12 / 18 months. I’ve recently cut up a Pax and even after that it was very secure. I replaced a 1970’s fitted wardrobe with a new PAX. The pax was exactly the same as the 1970’s cheap wardrobe I ripped out, that had lasted 50 years. I then copied the method used to make it built in. Will easily last another 50 years.

@@kirstygriffiths749 I visited a showroom the other day in Birmingham (Wednesbury) and the quality is a lot worse than it was the last time I bought one. The sides used to be solid particle board but now have a honeycome structure to them. The same as the doors. There used to be some weight to it all but the ones in the showroom were terrible quality. I'll re-visit them as an option because I really want it to work. Another trip to the showroom. If you read online, there's lots of discussion about the reduction in quality. It explains why they were out of stock for so long as they were changing the design of the structure of them.
