Hello everyone,
I am facing a problem with assembling my new Ikea Pax wardrobe. The room where the wardrobe is supposed to stand has a slightly uneven floor – some areas are just a little higher or lower. However, I want to set up the wardrobe securely and stably so that it doesn’t wobble or get damaged due to the unevenness.
Specifically, I am interested in:
- How can a safe and stable installation of Pax wardrobes be achieved on such uneven floors?
- Are there special techniques, accessories, or helpful tips that have proven effective?
- What is the best way to level the floor or the wardrobe itself without compromising structural integrity?
I look forward to tested solutions or experience reports, as I want to avoid experiments and use the wardrobe safely in the long term. Thank you in advance!

A thorough approach would be:
- Measuring floor unevenness with a spirit level
- Adjusting the leveling feet on the Pax frame accordingly
- Using suitable shims (wood or plastic) for fine adjustment
- Applying non-slip material under the feet to increase stability
- Visual inspection and load capacity check before final fixation
- Attaching the wall mounting according to the manufacturer’s instructions
It is important to ensure that the load of the cabinet structure is distributed evenly to prevent deformation or tipping hazards.

In summary:
- Use the integrated adjustable feet of the Pax
- Accurately measure any unevenness in the floor beforehand
- Add wooden or plastic shims if necessary
- Use non-slip mats
- Always ensure proper wall anchoring
Additionally, I recommend checking the maximum load capacity of the adjustable feet according to the product datasheet in advance, to avoid overloading on very uneven floors.
