Great video, thank you, very helpful as I watched each step multiple times whilst making the wardrobe alongside my manual, I trusted yours more as it is clearer. Took me two hours, female on my own, mostly as I didn’t have an electric drill and adding the top board was heavy so had to rest my arms a few times! Thanks again, glad I did it myself as I hesitated paying someone to do so, anyone reading this - give it a go and save yourself some money!

Same here. Plan to use the Pax as a pantry in my small 50's kitchen with 8ft. ceiling. Waited months for all the parts to be in stock. Too large for my car, so had it delivered. Kitchen has a sklight in the center which I figured would give me the extra height to install. Things went smoothly until I realized I built it with the foot under the skylight. Decided to lift to test the clearance BEFORE putting on the thin back board. Bad idea. Crumbled like a house of cards and ripped many of the screw holes, plus chunks of particle board. I was devastated, but Ikea was awesome. They are sending me replacement.

A lot easier assembling on the floor if you have clearance to lift completed wardrobe into position. Bear in mind that they are still very delicate until solidly connected to a wall so slide gently, slowly and always with your push/pull concentrated low down. Don't try pushing/pulling high up. Made up two full size 236cm wardrobes by myself by carefully following the instructions and check/double check anything youre6not sure of, even by referring to these excellent KZbin videos.

Maybe more secure solution for a 1 person team! :D

Definitely more secure to assemble on the floor questions is if you have enough space between ceiling and top of the wardrobe to do that. So just measure before and you go to go. 35% for assembly... well you just find my channel;) Thank you for watching

Good to see the order of assembly, but the video is flawed with one person assembly because of the extra strain on the doweling. It needs two people to hold all the parts in place to secure everything securely. Even reaching for the second side is a nonsense.

Total height of the wardrobe is 236.5cm if you have ceiling height 237cm you have 0,5cm space between top of the wardrobe and ceiling that's enough for hinged doors only you would have to build wardrobe upright. If you have sliding doors 0.5cm space is not enough. One more thing usually ceiling can be 1-2cm different from one side of the room to another side so make sure you have 237cm all along of course check if you don't have any obstructions for the doors like halogen lights on the ceiling .....

If you have hinged doors and the ceiling is at last 0.5cm all along the wardrobe and there is no obstructions when the hinged doors open (ceiling halogen or any spot lights) then you can doit. But no for sliding doors at last I try with the minimum of 1,4cm space between the ceiling and the top of the wardrobe (sliding doors) There is way how to shorten the Pax frames here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5m6qpWIeseXfJYsi=fdUPytHNMoqY1zzl but this is for previous model of the Ikea Pax wardrobe with sliding doors and it is not so easy if you new to this.
