Hello everyone, I am currently planning an extension of my Pax wardrobe system from IKEA and have a specific question: Is it possible to expand existing Pax drawers with additional inner drawers? It is important to me whether there are special frames or brackets available that allow this without compromising the stability or functionality of the main drawer. If so, which dimensions or models should I consider? I would prefer not to replace the entire drawer but only to better organize the interior space. Thanks for your expertise!

Regarding your question about whether Pax drawers can be extended with inner drawers: Generally, IKEA offers so-called inner drawers for Pax drawers, which can be installed inside the main drawers. These are usually secured with small rails or brackets that are typically compatible if your current model supports these fittings. It is important to measure the correct width and height because not all inner drawers can be combined with all main drawers. In short, yes, it works, but only with compatible products and careful measurement.

You need the inner drawers specifically designed for Pax. They fit perfectly without any issues. Make sure to check the measurements beforehand.

I recently upgraded my Pax drawers with inner drawers – they fit perfectly! It’s important to note that not all main drawers have the same width or depth, so make sure to measure carefully and check the product description beforehand. Otherwise, it’s a really clever solution to bring some order. And honestly, a bit more structure in the wardrobe makes every day a little more relaxing, doesn’t it?

Regarding technical compatibility: Inner drawers are usually designed for specific Pax drawer series. They are attached using side rails or clips that connect to the inside of the main frame. It is important to ensure that load limits are not exceeded. The drawer depth is also crucial, as inner drawers require space without obstructing the extension of the main drawer. I recommend comparing the fixtures based on the product description and checking for compatibility with the existing system.

Thanks for the tip. Do you know if there are any specific Pax drawer models that are not compatible? For example, because they lack rails or use different mounting systems? I have the standard drawers with metal sides. Are there any differences compared to wooden sides or similar?
