IKEA PAX Wardrobe Assembly (PART 1)

[@ryboiryboi5592]

My family think I am a carpenter now.. Put together 350cm frames and 2 sliding doors and all the interiors with help of these videos.. Cannot thank you enough.. By the way I have named you Pax.. My friend.. From a very grateful person.. Actually saved me 1500 euros.. As had a quote from local fitter.. Outrageous

[@PPFlatPack]

Glad it worked for you stay tune fore more Paxis ;) videos. Thank you for watching

[@MariaHallett]

Thanks so much! I followed your instructions instead of IKEA's and the three 39" wide PAX came out great!!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@alexb1972]

Thank you so much for this video - your instructions are so much easier to understand than the ones supplied by IKEA! 😂

[@Archermit]

I just got my first ever bit of IKEA furniture and I have just opened teh boxes, I cannot believe how DUMB the instructions are......I mean would it really be that difficulty to put stickers on the panels and then A attached to B, C attached to D then AB attached to CD etc lol......

[@donnettethayer4956]

You helped me break down my Pax, and now you've helped me put it back together again. Thank you!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@Kis-met]

Thank you sooooo much ! Really appreciate people like you who take the time to make these instructional videos. I didn’t even bother opening my manual 😄. You saved me tearing my hair out.

Same. A year and and a month later, saved my life and making the all assembling look easy peasy.

[@KevinArmstrong4154]

Thanks, need to stack deeper (bottom) and shallower (upper) units to give a fitted look, and this answered a couple of details on method

[@monisamontoya288]

I finished one frame thanx to your directions. However, I constructed it in the closet (because a finished unit would have a difficult time bringing into the closet due to its 93 inch height and turning the corner to get it in) but I now have no space in the closet with the 1st frame to complete another. I wonder how difficult it would be if Ikea made the frames shorter and got to the 93inch height with an addition the way they construct the Billy.

[@AllBrightColors]

So nice to have someone to do this along WITH! The Pax system has been sitting in my room I assembled for over 6 months.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching. If you have sliding doors after you build frames here is video about that kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGWcapdjeKd3sM0

[@janetjohnson6407]

I just want to thank you so much. I built my entire 3 door PAX wardrobe from start to finish watching your videos. Following your videos made it so much easier and allowed me to put everything together in the quarter of the time it would normally take me. Ikea really ought to get you to do official how-to videos for all their furniture! You just made it so much easier and easier to understand than their paper instructions. Many many thanks. Ps. Please forgive me but I’m putting this comment on all the videos I followed and found useful. Thanks again.

[@jasoncartwright586]

Thanks for the explanations and demo. Very helpful to see that as I am not buying doors, then I can set it all up myself without needing help :)

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@clivetring6128]

Thank you for your amazing series of videos for assembly of PAX wardrobes with Hasvik sliding doors and soft closing devices. I found them all so useful when I assembled these products, I honestly doubt I would have succeeded with just the IKEA instruction books.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@RamBo-we9ii]

This was great. Thank you for this. Tip: make sure you align the doors properly when you're putting in the screws.

[@Lermansuri]

Thank you I've done it following your instructions 12 min per wardrobe. I was going to.pay 100 quid so big thanks! It was soo easy, I only got stuck a bit with the doors but the actual frames easy after watching your video a couple of times, thanks again

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@Archermit]

You are my personal saviour, I was looking at the instructions and thinking "who the hell wrote these". this video has made me soooo much easier

[@PPFlatPack]

If you have the sliding doors check the latest videos there is new model with different fittings.

[@msonceuponanightmare]

Sooo I found this incredibly helpful. My husband and i bought sliding door wardrobes but not from IKEA, and the instructions are absolutely maddening! We couldn't make heads or tails, and niether could our neighbours or friends. It was just very messed up. We just used your video as an assisting manual and compared all the pieces. It seems to be less overwhelming so far. 😅❤️ Thank you for making this video!

[@polinasayess669]

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I did not have a manual, so it made it possible for me to assemble the wardrobe without it.

[@ameliatjk]

Quick question! My back panel does not fit the wardrobe frame! It does not line up properly. Have you ever come across faulty back panels for the pax wardrobe in the past? I feel like the back panel has been cut wrong and it is not straight

[@joycekaren1913]

i’m having the same problem now i can’t manage to have them facing the right way

[@rydonwunali]

Thanks built my pax mini and looking at this video helped to keep me focused.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching :)

[@CinemaRescored]

What if I skip attaching the backpanel? Will it make the wardrobe wobbly, even with added shelves and drawers?

[@PPFlatPack]

The back panel holds all frame together. Can do without but have to attach to the wall. Still have to be carful because it can colapse easily. I would sugdest to attach the back.

[@CinemaRescored]

@@PPFlatPack I understand. But what if I attach only the lower half of the panel? I'm guessing that would be significantly more stable than having no panel at all. Also, I'm not sure if I really need to anchor the 2 metre tall, 35 cm deep wardrobe. It should be stable enough, especially with all the weight of the clothes inside. I could be wrong though.

[@itsallinhow]

thank you for this entire series - makes this process as effortless and straight forward as possible - where do we donate to support your videos?

[@PPFlatPack]

Glad it worked for you. If you like to support there is thanks button tight under the video. Thank you for watching

Amazing video- I did my first ever project just because of you. Thank you so much! One question the back panel is not aligning what do I do.. just that is left and I am stuck here. Will appreciate your feedback very much. Thanks again

[@PPFlatPack]

Measure from corner to corner adjust the wardrobe frame till you get the same number than you can attach back panel.

[@Jahfriend]

Mines the 201 cm height one is assembly the same do you know kind regards ?

[@bethanybridges4840]

This is amazing! One question, do I have to add the legs? One of the anchors was missing on mine but I really want to put this up

[@Liaomiao]

are top and bottom side panels symmetrical?

[@mijalic1]

Excellent job. thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share it with us. greetings from Croatia

If anyone still watchs we need help with the hamering the big thing it wont go in

[@try2be.heavenleigh]

Specifically looked for this comment bc I had a hard time but you just have to hammer REALLY hard and don’t worry abt the hammer leaving marks, just wipe off with your thumb

[@uuketi]

Do the screws and drivers come with the wardrobe

[@shelleyjones8382]

I so wished I had watched this before I hired 2 guys to put up 3 of them attached. They left out parts, put parts in upside down! and I think I have to take it apart and start all over. Your videos are swell! I have a floor that slants, any suggestions for adding to the uneveness to level the cabinets? The 2 guys shoved a few small pieces of wood under the connecting walls and I think it is not safe.

[@PPFlatPack]

You right there is to many cowboys out there I did few repairs similar to your case. Regarding slanting floor - first cabinets have to be done correctly if the flor is very bad I usually fix the wardrobes to the wall or adjust the legs and doors but sometime you can fix this problem with small plastic spacers under the wardrobe. You can see how this is done here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIXZnaCjf9mmbck

[@mikehatch7]

Helped me out a lot today! Built three of them! All with your video!

[@PPFlatPack]

Michael Hatch Thank you for watching:)

[@jtelevision2000]

Hi there, thanks for this great video. I have a quick question for you: although the base panel should be installed in the third holes from the bottom in the side panels but would it also fit in the bottom set of holes in the side panels (e.g. if we wanted the wardrobe to rest flat on a self-made support platform rather than install the IKEA base board between the bottom and third holes)? I know that is not how it is meant to be installed but the bottom holes look to have the same spacing as the third holes from the bottom so I think it might be possible?

[@PPFlatPack]

I think it will work. Question is how the doors will line up because if I understand right by placing a panel on both sides (top and bottom) will be in the first line that will do about 8-10cm gap between the top of the wardrobe and door. All that said it is possible to shorten Ikea pax wardrobe without adjusting doors and video how to do that will be out within 2 weeks.

[@jtelevision2000]

@@PPFlatPack Thanks so much, I was planning on having doors custom made (so all the framing would be IKEA but you wouldn't see any of it because it would be behind custom-made doors). You are right that the standard IKEA doors will be too small and the backing board will also be to small so I'll have to find a solution for that too! Really appreciate your posts - thank you! 😀

[@PPFlatPack]

@@jtelevision2000 Thank you for watching

[@dawudyaqub]

Thanks for this video. Feel much more confident abt assembling my wardrobe now. Quick question -- do you recommend putting wood glue in the holes before knocking in the wooden plugs? All the best! D

[@PPFlatPack]

No glue.

[@M1staG4MER]

is the qaulity of the wood cheap?

[@phoenixbeer17]

Just tried building the PAX and when my partner lifted it up the nails came out of the wood damaging the panels. Watched ur video and realised we were meant to put the back on first before lifting.

[@sidneyt1016]

Hello! Any suggestions and/or videos on how to deal with HVAC vents. In order to maximize our closet space, the potential design would involve covering the only vent in closet. Our closet is connected to master bath and there’s another vent in the bathroom. We are a little concerned with the closet potentially getting cold and/or moisture build up. Can the PAX bottom be cut and vent system extended into unit?

[@arkitecmuebles9596]

let's wait for the next video, interesting. Thanks.

[@zednes2065]

Thank you so much, but I would prefer if you put the doors in as well, I have the mirror doors.. I haven’t made yet, I hope it will be easy!

[@humanfrommars8230]

How do you know which is Top and which is bottom side, please? Many thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

They are same till the point where you put the adjustable legs brackets on the bottom part.

Legend, thanks buddy! Super helpful and easy to follow 👏🏻

[@piscean81]

How high are the bottom(plinth) pieces? My ceiling height is 234 cm. Is there a way I can fit IKEA PAX 236cm high wardrobe in the space? I mean has anyone attempted to cut the bottom(plinth) pieces to slightly lower the height of the wardrobe? Is this even possible? The other option might be to remove the carpet and underlay but I'm not sure that will give me 3cms.

[@PPFlatPack]

There is video on my channel about cutting the frames but is the previous model of the pax doors have look. Didn’t do they with new doors yet

Well it was all fine and dandy regarding assembly, until I gently and gradually attempted to stand it up from being on its side. Cracking and crumbling of cheap particle board and breaking of the wood pins.. and it is completely and totally USELESS!!! Over $100 wasted and more gas to be spent returning it if they will take it back. Hoping for a refund.

[@greentriumph1643]

I don't even install them. I teach tolerancing in what I do. Technically the feel are inadequate for most types of misalignment. Even if they worked, the load would be concentrated and would creep due to the viscoelastic nature of particle board. Just shim if needed around the parameter.
