ᐅ Are there Ikea PAX wardrobes with extra tall storage options?

Hello everyone, I am currently looking into wardrobe solutions for my bedroom and came across the Ikea PAX series. I have a question: Are there Ikea PAX wardrobes with extra tall storage options that go beyond the standard heights and are especially suitable for rooms with high ceilings? It is particularly important for me to know if Ikea PAX offers additional, very tall frames or components that allow for expanding storage space upwards, or if you are generally limited to the usual dimensions (about 201 cm (79 inches) or 236 cm (93 inches) in height). I would prefer not to resort to custom builds or extra add-ons and am therefore looking for a ready-made solution directly from Ikea. Has anyone had experience with such extra tall PAX wardrobes or knows of suitable components and possibly their dimensions and availability? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

The Ikea PAX series basically offers two main cabinet heights: 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches). Cabinets taller than 236 cm (93 inches) are not available in the current range. What Ikea calls "extra tall" topper units are so-called "top boxes," which are about 40 cm (16 inches) high. These can be mounted on top of the 236 cm (93 inches) cabinet, allowing for a theoretical total height of up to 276 cm (109 inches). However, these are more like small top boxes rather than full additional cabinet units.

- Standard cabinet: 201 cm (79 inches) or 236 cm (93 inches) high
- Top boxes: approximately 40 cm (16 inches) high (examples: NYTTIG, GLIS)

The top boxes are mainly used to extend the front of the wardrobe with additional doors, thus increasing the storage space but not necessarily considered full storage like the main cabinet. The IKEA website lists these parts separately under accessories.

Another option for higher storage capacity is custom-made solutions or combinations of multiple PAX wardrobes, but Ikea currently does not produce fully extra tall cabinets beyond the 236 cm (93 inches) height.

Additionally, I would like to explain this in more detail:

If someone plans to create an extra-tall PAX wardrobe, here is a brief guide:

- PAX cabinet frames are available in heights of 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches).
- The 236 cm (93 inches) version can be extended with top units that add approximately 40 cm (16 inches) in height.
- When using top boxes, it is important to pay attention to the weight and the mounting, as not every wall or ceiling is suitable for supporting them.
- Also, keep in mind that the maximum overall height (cabinet frame plus top unit) is about 276 cm (109 inches).
- For rooms with even higher ceilings, it makes sense to plan additional shelves or separate upper cabinets.

I also recommend thoroughly reviewing Ikea’s dimension sketches before planning. If possible, shelves or drawers can be installed below the top boxes to optimize space utilization.

In conclusion: For extra-high storage within the PAX system, only the combination of the 236 cm (93 inches) cabinet frame plus top units is currently available. Custom builds or modifications are necessary if you want to go beyond this.

In short: Ikea PAX cabinets are only available up to a carcass height of 236 cm (93 inches). Add-on modules increase the total height to about 276 cm (109 inches). There is no standard option for taller units.

I can confirm that the tallest single cabinet height in the Ikea PAX system is 236 cm (7 ft 9 in), as previously mentioned.

The fact is, Ikea itself does not offer larger single cabinets beyond these dimensions. Extension units (top cabinets) can be added to increase the height to around 276 cm (9 ft 1 in). These need to be ordered separately and are usually designed for specific PAX configurations.

It is important during planning to ensure that the extension units remain compatible with the doors and the base system. Additionally, PAX offers solid modularity for interior fittings, allowing you to maximize storage space despite height limitations (through shelves, drawers, etc.).

In summary: For extra tall storage, IKEA PAX only offers the 236 cm (7 ft 9 in) cabinets plus approximately 40 cm (16 in) extension modules; no standard cabinets in taller dimensions are available.
