Hello everyone, I am planning to customize and expand my Pax wardrobe system and wonder if it is generally possible to use custom shelves instead of only the original IKEA shelves. My idea is that this would give me more flexibility with dimensions and material choice. However, I am unsure whether the existing brackets and rail fittings will remain compatible or if this might affect the stability or complicate the assembly. Does anyone have experience with this or know if it is advisable? I am especially concerned about the load-bearing capacity and long-term secure attachment. Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!

I had solid cherry wood shelves cut to the same thickness as the IKEA shelves. That sounds good, but did you use a special mounting system for that, or did you simply reuse the IKEA brackets?
I’d also be interested to know if you have any long-term experience with the load capacity and possible warping. Solid wood, in particular, carries the risk of warping due to changes in humidity.
Overall, the discussion shows that the compatibility of the fittings is the crucial factor – along with the material quality for load-bearing capacity. Anyone looking for a long-lasting solution should carefully consider these aspects.
