Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me with my question. I’m looking for affordable yet good-quality replacement parts for Pax systems (keyword: furniture system from Ikea). My goal is to find suitable components such as rails, handles, or shelves without paying overpriced prices, as I want to modify several units. It would also be helpful to get tips on reliable places to order from—whether online shops, specialty stores, or platforms that focus on used or overstocked items.
In my view, the system is not entirely straightforward since many parts are specific and don’t always fit universally. Does anyone have experience with which suppliers or sources offer the best balance of price and quality?
I look forward to your recommendations and, if possible, a brief explanation of why you prefer those providers. Thanks in advance!

Basically, there are several options for purchasing replacement parts for the Pax system:
- Official Ikea online store: Original parts are available here, but sometimes at higher prices.
- Ikea clearance section: You can often find discontinued or slightly damaged parts at lower prices.
- Specialized dealer shops: Some suppliers focus on Ikea replacement parts, such as pax-systemparts.de, offering genuine parts with discounts.
- Used marketplaces: Platforms like Ebay Classifieds or similar sites often have well-maintained parts at low prices.
It is important to check the fit carefully, as there are different generations and sizes of Pax components. Always search using the part number or exact product name to avoid mistakes.
In conclusion: For the best prices, the used market is worthwhile, while specialized shops guarantee compatibility. Official purchases are usually more expensive but are the safer option.

- Used platforms: Ebay Kleinanzeigen or similar sites often offer well-preserved parts at low prices.I completely agree! I once scored a full set of Pax shelves at a real bargain price on Ebay Kleinanzeigen – they were almost like new. Of course, it takes a bit of patience, but with some flexibility, it works great.
And nothing beats the fun of browsing and possibly discovering interesting leftover stock. For anyone looking to save money and not afraid of “used” items, this is the perfect source. 😄
One small tip: Since some parts can be quite large, be sure to check shipping costs and pickup options carefully, otherwise any savings can quickly disappear.

I can only agree with that! I once snagged a full set of Pax shelves almost at a bargain price on eBay Classifieds – they were nearly new. This is a good example of why you shouldn’t underestimate the second-hand market. However, I would add that on platforms like eBay Classifieds, there is often no warranty or return option. This can be problematic, especially for critical components like hinges.
For consumers seeking more security, specialized dealers offering original parts with a warranty are a better choice.
I also recommend double-checking the model numbers and measurements of the Pax parts directly with the seller before placing larger orders. Due to model updates, there can be confusion about what fits and what doesn’t. So always compare carefully.
