Hello everyone,
I currently have a standard-sized PAX wardrobe from IKEA measuring 150 x 236 cm (59 x 93 inches). I would like to better customize the interior to suit my needs and am wondering: which additional shelves or shelf boards fit best in a PAX wardrobe to create optimal storage space? It is important to me to choose sturdy, durable options that are easy to install and, above all, compatible with the existing peg holes.
I am looking for recommendations or experience-based advice on suitable shelves that work well together, as well as tips on what to consider when purchasing (material, load capacity, depth).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I’m curious if anyone here has experience with extensions made from other materials (e.g., metal frame shelves).Metal shelves or frames can generally be used, but modifications are necessary. The Pax system is designed for 35 mm (1.4 inches) hole spacing, which often does not align with standard metal shelving.
It is recommended to mount metal frames using custom brackets or adapter plates. Otherwise, you risk unstable connections or damage to the hole rows.
From a technical standpoint, the effort required is usually higher than with the original shelves.
For exceptional loads—such as heavy shoes or boxes—metal can offer added value, provided a secure attachment is achieved.

For extraordinary loads – such as heavy shoes or boxes – metal can offer additional benefitsThat's right, if you need sturdier shelves, metal shelves or wire baskets in the PAX wardrobe are a good choice. Many wire baskets come with suitable mounts and provide flexibility.
I have also had good experiences with the wire baskets that IKEA offers specifically for PAX. They are easy to install, fit perfectly into the peg rows, and are ideal for shoes or accessories.
Additionally, I use the fixed shelves for delicate clothing or boxes. This way, you have a good balance of stability and flexibility.
