What we build

PAX frames in every size: 50, 75 and 100 cm wide, 201 or 236 cm high, 35 or 58 cm deep
Corner units and combinations joined into one run
KOMPLEMENT interiors: drawers, shelves, rails, pull-out trays and shoe shelves
Hinged doors (for example FORSAND, BERGSBO, REINSVOLL and VIKANES) and sliding doors (for example HASVIK and AULI)
Integrated lighting, if you’ve bought it
Plinths and finishing panels where included in your order

Check your ceiling height before you order

PAX frames are assembled lying on the floor and then tilted upright, so the room needs more height than the frame itself. The figures below are the diagonal of each frame, worked out from IKEA’s published sizes. If your ceiling is lower than this, the frame can’t be stood up once it’s built.

Minimum ceiling height to tilt up a built PAX frame
Frame height	Frame depth	Height needed to tilt it up (approx.)
201 cm	35 cm	205 cm
201 cm	58 cm	210 cm
236 cm	35 cm	239 cm
236 cm	58 cm	244 cm

Allow a little extra for the floor, coving and light fittings. Many cottages and older homes around Sudbury, Lavenham and Long Melford have ceilings below 244 cm, so the 201 cm frames are often the right choice there. If you’re unsure, measure your ceiling at the lowest point where the wardrobe will stand and send it with your quote request.

IKEA PAX assembly questions

How long does an IKEA PAX take to assemble?

It depends on the number of frames, the doors and the interior. A single frame with hinged doors is much quicker than a wall of sliding-door wardrobes. Read our full guide to PAX assembly times.

Does a PAX wardrobe have to be fixed to the wall?

Yes. IKEA’s instructions include fixing every PAX frame to the wall, and we do it with the fittings supplied where your walls allow.

Can you build PAX in a room with a low ceiling?

Often, yes. A 236 cm frame needs about 244 cm of height to tilt up, so in lower rooms the 201 cm frames are usually the answer. Send us your ceiling height and we’ll tell you.

Can you use my PAX planner design?

Yes. Send the design or your IKEA order confirmation with your quote request and we’ll build to it.
