Hello everyone,
perhaps I should briefly introduce myself as a newcomer here:
male, 58 years old, “home IKEA” Duisburg.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that the birch Pax wardrobes were slowly disappearing from online ordering.
Try ordering a carcass 100 x 35 x 201 cm (39 x 14 x 79 inches) in birch. It doesn’t work.
Since I’m now starting to renew my bedroom with Pax, I didn’t like that at all.
A friendly lady at the hotline explained to me after some hesitation that IKEA has announced an internal email about a successor to Pax. The date mentioned was March 1st. However, she told me that such announcement dates usually shift by several weeks. She advised me not to start building my wardrobe wall just yet. The new Pax design will be somewhat more modern, rounded, and youthful. AND, they will not be compatible with the old carcasses. “So if you buy the 3.5 meter (11.5 ft) carcasses now, you might want to buy new doors after half a year (which I actually planned to do) and then find out that the new doors don’t fit the old carcasses.” For this sentence, I thanked her very much.
Has anyone else heard similar news? Since I think IKEA introduces these changes in Sweden first, I’m frequently checking the Swedish website, but so far there’s nothing new there either. For now, I have decided to wait.
Kind regards
Toots

Well, dear all,
I am now enjoying new kitchen fronts, thanks to the change.
We previously had noble birch fronts with a nice warm look. Unfortunately, as is well known, this new birch with its milky/plastic appearance doesn’t look very appealing, not even combined with the old ones.
We have now switched to abstract high-gloss white. Also nice, of course a completely different style, so I am happy to offer my “pieces” in beautiful birch for you.
Both noble fronts and Nexus Perfect panels for upper and lower cabinets (partly single-sided and partly double-sided perforated). I also still have some pieces of this trim for the wall cabinets.
I am already starting to make an inventory list. If you need specific pieces, feel free to email me.
Otherwise, I will upload the inventory list soon.
Best regards from the white high-gloss kitchen
