Hello everyone, I am planning to equip my wardrobe with an IKEA PAX system and want to make the project as durable as possible. Therefore, I am wondering: which IKEA PAX models or configurations are particularly robust in terms of everyday use, weight capacity, and material durability? I am especially interested in the frame, doors, and fittings because I want to ensure the wardrobe remains stable even after years of heavy use. Are there models that use high-quality materials or that are specifically designed for heavy loads? I would greatly appreciate any experiences or recommendations!
I understand how difficult the decision can be when you are looking for something truly long-lasting. It can be frustrating when furniture starts to wobble or the surface gets damaged after a short time. Thanks for the tips here; I really appreciate how clearly you break things down. I personally have the Pax with foil doors and have noticed that you really need to be careful with them. Especially if you have children, durable materials are worth their weight in gold.
Sliding doors annoy me a bit because the sliding mechanisms in my case started to creak after one year. The installation can also be stressful, and I agree with Kinbu on that.

Sliding doors are generally a bit more delicate, especially the tracks. Thank you, that reassures me a bit. If you choose a higher-quality track or regularly clean and lubricate the entire system, would that likely improve its durability significantly?
Are there any recommendations on how to best maintain the lifespan of fittings and hinges? What kind of maintenance has anyone had the best experience with?
Hinges and sliding rails should be well lubricated, preferably with silicone spray or graphite. Clean metal parts regularly and check for rust. This keeps everything running smoothly.
It is also important to occasionally tighten the screws on doors and frames, as loose screws can affect stability.
