Hello everyone, I have a specific question regarding the Ikea PAX wardrobe system. Are the PAX wardrobes only available in the standard sizes, meaning the common widths, heights, and depths, or are there options to get PAX wardrobes in custom sizes that fall outside the standard range? I am particularly interested in whether Ikea itself offers custom-made units or if third-party suppliers need to be used to achieve PAX units with unusual widths or depths. I would appreciate a detailed explanation of the standard dimensions, as well as any information about flexibility and alternatives with the PAX system.
Pomopi, your concern shows how much standardization limits us, especially with Ikea. One could argue that the system becomes more solid and affordable because of it, but at the same time, you lose design flexibility. My personal opinion: If you really need custom dimensions, the Pax is not a suitable option, no matter how many tricks you try to use. Often, a fully custom-made solution from a professional carpenter does not cost as much more as some might think, but it does offer true added value.
Thank you for all the informative answers! To summarize, I understand that PAX is only available in standard sizes, and the modular system is designed to accommodate individual room dimensions through combinations. For deviations from the standard, fillers and covers can help, but there are no true custom sizes. Custom carpenter solutions are necessary for genuine special requests. This helps me a lot to continue my planning in a sensible way.
