Hello everyone,
I am currently planning to purchase an Ikea Pax wardrobe and want to make sure that the drawers come with a soft-close feature. My specific question is: Which Ikea Pax models come with soft-close drawers as standard, or which models have this feature built in by default?
I would greatly appreciate a list or any tips on how to identify this when buying, as it is not always clearly stated in the Ikea online shop or product descriptions. I am also interested to know if soft-close can be ordered separately and retrofitted.
Thank you very much for your expertise!

In this case, focusing on the "Maximera" drawers makes sense.
These are available from Ikea as a soft-close option and are commonly used for Pax wardrobes.
- MAXIMERA drawers come with damped full-extension slides.
- They are available both as direct replacements and for new Pax wardrobes.
- When configuring in the Ikea online shop, you can specifically search for "soft-close" when selecting the MAXIMERA drawers.
Therefore, I recommend ordering the MAXIMERA drawers with soft-close when setting up the Pax system to avoid needing any retrofitting.

For those who want detailed information, here is a brief overview of Ikea Pax drawers and soft-close features:
1. MAXIMERA drawers
- Come with soft-close dampers
- Full extension
- Soft-close is standard
2. SAMLA drawers (plastic bins)
- No soft-close, simple sliding motion
3. VOXTORP drawers
- Soft-close optional
- Usually higher-quality fronts that support soft-close
Additional info:
- Retrofitting soft-close dampers is easiest with MAXIMERA drawers
- For other drawers, retrofitting can be difficult or not possible
Tip: When choosing an Ikea Pax wardrobe, be sure to check which drawer system and drawer type are included if soft-close is desired.

MAXIMERA = Soft-Close.
Other drawers usually don’t have this feature.
Retrofit is possible, but probably not interesting for you.I can only agree with that. Maximeras are more comfortable, more stable, and offer the convenience of soft-close technology. When planning the Pax system, be sure to choose these drawers.

I would be very grateful for a list or tips on how I can recognize this directly when purchasing, as it is not always clearly indicated in the Ikea online shop or product descriptions.One last tip: In the Ikea online shop, you can find the soft-close details in the product information of the drawers under "Features." It explicitly states if soft-close is included. When configuring the Pax system, make sure to choose replacement parts or interior fittings with soft-close, since the basic cabinet frame does not have any damping.
