Hello everyone, I recently purchased an Ikea Pax system and am currently facing the challenge of assembling the drawers precisely and as easily as possible. I wonder if there are any proven tips or methods that can simplify the process or improve the quality of the assembly. I am especially interested in advice on aligning the drawers, smoothly inserting them into the runner rails, and avoiding common issues such as sticking or misaligned drawers. Who has experience or perhaps special tricks to share? I look forward to your suggestions!
Installing the Pax drawers requires precise work when mounting the rails. Make sure the rails are attached exactly at the same height. If necessary, use a spirit level and measure multiple times.
Before inserting the drawer, check that the integrated rollers move freely. You can briefly test their functionality before installation.
If the drawer sticks, inspect the rails for dirt or deformation and realign them.

Super interesting topic! 😊 When it comes to assembling the Pax drawers, I always take a bit of patience and don’t rush the process!
What I definitely recommend: Before installing all the drawers permanently, do a complete trial run by assembling a single drawer and testing it. This way, you can better identify any tricky spots.
One extra tip that helped me: Small markings on the rails and inside the cabinet sides help you avoid slipping during installation. This saves you from having to take everything apart and put it back together again! 🎉
Wishing you lots of fun and success!
