ᐅ Can I extend Pax drawers by adding internal drawers?

Metal sides are usually better suited for inner drawers because the mounts can be attached more easily. Wooden-sided drawers are often not compatible, as the mounting mechanism is different. Simply check if your drawer has an attached inner drawer frame.

I find the discussion a bit too cautious. Of course, IKEA wants to convince us that everything fits perfectly with their modular systems, but in practice, there are often small differences between product lines and production years. The question of whether interior drawers will always fit should therefore be viewed critically. It is not uncommon that they only fit when you buy the matching combinations from the start or replace entire sets. Different material thicknesses, screw holes, or fastening clips can make a huge difference. So, if someone wants to expand an older Pax wardrobe with interior drawers, they shouldn’t expect too much.

Interesting, thanks for your honest assessment. Is there a way to retrofit older models as well? Or do you have to replace the entire front or drawer series? I’d prefer not to buy a completely new Pax wardrobe just because of inner drawers.

I completely understand your dilemma, especially when you already have a Pax wardrobe and want to install internal drawers. In my case, with some patience and the right combination of modular internal drawers, I found a workable setup without having to replace the entire wardrobe. Sometimes you have to make compromises with the dimensions and be creative, but it’s worth it because you can make much better use of the storage space in the end. Keep at it and try out different models—often, a visit to the IKEA store can help you find suitable parts in person.
