Hello everyone,
I have a specific question about the IKEA Pax wardrobe system: Is it possible to customize the depth of a Pax wardrobe, meaning can it be configured to dimensions other than the standard sizes? My available space is quite limited, and I would like to know if the depth can be chosen freely or if you are restricted to the predefined depths (usually 35 cm (14 inches), 50 cm (20 inches), or 58 cm (23 inches)). I am also interested in how such a modification might affect the stability as well as compatibility with accessories such as doors or internal fittings.
Thank you in advance for any helpful answers and advice!

I will summarize the key points regarding the custom depth adjustment of the Pax wardrobe in a structured way:
- IKEA Pax wardrobes are designed for fixed depths (35, 50, 58 cm (14, 20, 23 inches)), which applies to the carcass, doors, and accessories.
- The load-bearing capacity and functionality are based on these specified dimensions and are not certified for non-standard depths.
- Modifying the depth requires skilled craftsmanship, very precise planning, and may affect warranty coverage.
- Doors and hinges only fit the standard depths, so custom adjustments are usually needed for altered depths, which tend to be complex and impractical.
If space allows, I recommend using Pax carcasses with the appropriate depth or considering alternative wardrobe solutions.
However, anyone planning a custom solution should be aware of the additional effort, stability risks, and potential limitations in functionality.
