ᐅ Are there Ikea Pax versions with adjustable height and depth?

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on designing a custom wardrobe system and came across the IKEA Pax series. My specific question is: Does IKEA offer variants within the Pax system that allow for adjustable height and depth, meaning options where you can not only choose the width flexibly but also modularly adjust the height and depth?

I understand that the standard sizes usually have fixed dimensions, but are there extensions or alternative components available that can be combined in intermediate sizes or with adjustable depth? It is important to me that these adjustments are practical and not just theoretically possible, but actually available or feasible within the product range.

Does anyone have experience or tips regarding availability and possible combinations? Thanks in advance!

Hello Tobiaspe,

regarding your question: IKEA Pax is basically modular, especially when it comes to the width of the wardrobe units. The height is indeed less flexible and standardized to a few fixed dimensions (e.g., 201 cm (79 inches) or 236 cm (93 inches) tall). The depth is also standardized, with two main depths available: 35 cm (14 inches) and 58 cm (23 inches).

There are no official versions with continuously adjustable height or depth. Adjustments are usually made by selecting between these standard sizes or by installing various interior organization solutions.

In short:
- Widths are modular and selectable through different wardrobe carcass widths
- Height is fixed to a few standard dimensions
- Depth comes in two standard sizes

If you require a completely custom depth or height, DIY solutions or modifications by craftsmen are the alternatives.

I hope this clarifies your question a bit.

That’s exactly right, and I’d like to add a bit more in case you need help with planning, Tobiaspe.

Pax systems are quite flexible when it comes to combining widths and door types, but the heights and depths are actually fairly fixed. IKEA mainly offers heights of 201 cm or 236 cm (79 inches or 93 inches). This is because the wardrobes are designed to fit seamlessly with the typical wall and ceiling dimensions found in standard homes.

There isn’t truly a variable depth, except for the two mentioned options. However, for the 35 cm and 58 cm (14 inches and 23 inches) depths, you can vary the interior fittings quite a bit—like drawers, shelves, etc.—to optimize storage space.

If needed, you can even add intermediate elements that IKEA doesn’t sell as basic carcasses, but that tends to be more of a DIY solution or requires some craftsmanship.

In short:
- Height: only 201 or 236 cm (79 or 93 inches)
- Depth: 35 or 58 cm (14 or 23 inches)
- Width: variable depending on carcass sizes

If you have detailed use cases, I can also help with specific suggestions.

No, the height and depth of the Pax system are not adjustable. You can only select different widths by choosing various cabinet frames. As Blavin and TEOZAR have already mentioned, the available depths are 35cm (14 inches) and 58cm (23 inches), with heights of 201cm (79 inches) or 236cm (93 inches).
