Hello everyone, I am currently facing the challenge of assembling our new Ikea Pax wardrobe system in a room with very uneven walls. The variations in the walls are several centimeters (inches), which makes attaching the wardrobes directly to the wall difficult and prevents proper alignment during installation. My question is: What proven methods or special techniques can you recommend for installing Pax wardrobe systems securely and neatly when the room has uneven walls? Are there any adjustments for wall mounting, the use of spacers, or special leveling of the wardrobe feet that help to compensate for irregularities? I am looking forward to your practical tips and experiences that will help me complete the assembly professionally and safely.

Do you think MDF profiles are the best solution in this case, or is it worth using metal profiles?For the installation of Ikea Pax in your scenario, MDF is usually sufficient from an economic standpoint, provided the profiles are fixed at the right points and properly sized. Metal profiles offer greater durability and strength but require adjustments and tools that can be more complex. Screwing into crumbly or hollow plaster should generally be avoided; instead, holes should be carefully drilled into the masonry to ensure maximum load-bearing capacity. To compensate for significant wall irregularities, it is recommended to adjust the substructure before installing the cabinets, and if necessary, use spacers behind the profiles to optimize the distance from the wall.
