Hello everyone, I have a specific question about Ikea Pax wardrobe doors, as I’m considering getting this kind of system. I’m particularly interested in how stable and durable the doors are with frequent use. I’m not only concerned about the material itself but also the hinges, the sliding mechanism, and whether intensive daily use leads to sagging, misalignment, or other signs of wear. Does anyone have experience with this or perhaps tips on how to optimize usage to keep the doors in good condition over time? Thanks for your insights!

I used the Pax doors daily in my sister’s apartment. The usage was heavy, but there were no issues with instability. The hinges are sturdy; after a few months, I retightened the screws once, and since then everything has been perfect.

I can confirm that. Retightening is essential. Neglecting it can eventually lead to misaligned doors.
