Hello everyone, I am currently considering buying a wardrobe from the Ikea PAX system, but I have a specific question: Does Ikea offer the option to have PAX furniture delivered partially assembled? I mean furniture that does not arrive solely as individual parts in a flat pack but where at least some larger modules or even entire frames are pre-assembled to make the setup easier or faster.
So far, I have found that PAX is primarily sold as a flat-pack system, but since I have limited time and assembling large wardrobes is often quite challenging, I am curious whether there are specific PAX models or perhaps regional service options that include this partial assembly either as standard or for an additional fee.
Does anyone have experience with this or know about deliveries where the furniture was at least partially pre-assembled? How does Ikea generally handle transport and assembly regarding PAX? Thanks in advance for the information!

Are there any experiences on how long assembly takes for a project of this size if you do it yourself?Hey, that fits perfectly with my recent Ikea Pax adventure! ? I also assembled mine myself – a 150 x 236 cm (59 x 93 inches) wardrobe is definitely not easy, but not rocket science either.
Regarding assembly time: Depending on your experience, I would expect about 4 to 6 hours if you want to do everything properly (including installing doors, shelves, etc.). Important: Having a second person helps a lot!
About pre-assembled doors: No, they are delivered separately. The hinges are usually already attached to the doors, but you need to fix them to the frame.
If you opt for the assembly service, it’s a safe choice, but assembling it yourself with friends is often more social and rewarding! ?

I am planning approximately 150 cm (60 inches) wide and 236 cm (93 inches) high, so relatively large for a bedroom.To add: Regarding the cabinet size you mentioned, from a technical perspective, pre-assembly is hardly realistic. This presents a major logistical challenge, which IKEA avoids due to their modular system and transportation methods.
The best approach is to use the assembly service if time is important. Professionals use special tools for proper installation, which is usually difficult to do quickly as a private person.
One more tip: When ordering, you can explicitly ask whether special assembly aids are available for your delivery date or at your store. Sometimes there are local differences that might help.
