ᐅ 400 cm Ikea PAX wardrobe in a 400 cm wall recess?

Hello everyone,

We have a 4m (13 feet) wall recess in our bedroom and would like to install a built-in wardrobe. Is it possible to fit a 4m (13 feet) wide Pax wardrobe into this recess? The baseboards would, of course, be removed.

If the niche measures 400 cm (13 feet) after construction, it should just fit. You will need to adjust it slightly. My niche was 200 cm (6.5 feet) and I was able to fit a 200 cm (6.5 feet) Pax unit in there.

However, if the rough opening is 400 cm (13 feet), I would recommend arranging for the rough opening to be planned at 405 cm (13.3 feet).

Check whether you have the full 4m (13 feet) height as well.

In our rental apartment, we had a 3.5m (11.5 feet) niche. Unfortunately, only at floor level, because the plaster bulged in the middle. In the end, we had to shorten the wardrobe by nearly 2cm (0.8 inches). But it still worked.

Thank you very much for the quick responses
