ᐅ Does an IKEA PAX Wardrobe with a Height of 236 cm Fit in a Room with a Ceiling Height of 236 cm? Experience Insights

I was able to make good use of the extra two centimeters, otherwise it would have been quite tricky in some places.

Especially since even with vertical installation, the lid still has to be placed on top. That means you need to add 1-2cm (0.4-0.8 inches) to the final height, because the lid has to be lifted over the "nipples."

True, not exactly America First as Trump said, but Lid First... So basically, you don’t need a single extra millimeter.

No, the cover on the Pax cabinet is only attached from the side, and then the connector dowels are secured from below/inside with cam-lock nuts. It does not rest on any "nipples."

Ah, right. I just checked the manual online. It’s probably been too long since I last assembled a Pax.

So I take everything back and claim the opposite.

A little play is still advisable. After all, you may want to shift or level it at times. Also, the tracks for sliding doors require just under one centimeter (and must be inserted into the top panels before assembling the cabinet!!).

Nope, that’s not correct! Maybe it was like that before, but with the current sliding doors you don’t have to install anything in advance. I’ve just done this with a total of four pairs of sliding doors...

However, you do need some clearance at the top for the sliding doors.
